Can I make this sauce ahead of time?

Yes—make it up to 10 days in advance and keep it sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Stir or whisk briefly before serving if any separation occurs.

Can I freeze Chick-fil-A sauce?

Freezing isn’t recommended because the mayonnaise base can separate and become grainy when thawed; refrigeration for up to 10 days is the best option.

Is there a dairy-free version?

To make a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free mayonnaise substitute and ensure your BBQ sauce contains no dairy—everything else in the recipe is naturally dairy-free.
