This is real old news from 2015, but I just stumbled on it. I made it this month and it's the legit Cane's Sauce recipe.

So far, I've tied it with chicken strips, fried shrimp, french fries and some homemade lump crab cakes (serves almost as a remoulade). Outstanding.

I thought I'd share for anybody else like me living under a rock.










Bonus: I also found & made a Big Mac Sauce recipe that brought my homemade burger up to an 11:

1/2 cup mayo
1 Tblsp relish
1 Tblsp ketchup
1/2 Tblsp mustard
1/2 Tblsp vinegar
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika




I guess all I need now is the Chick-Fil-A sauce recipe.

Two all beef patties, 1/2 cup mayo, 1 Tblsp relish, 1 Tblsp ketchup, 1/2 Tblsp mustard, 1/2 Tblsp vinegar, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun doesn't have quite the same ring.

I did go get a real Big Mac to compare. I could taste the garlic/onion powder that I couldn't place before.

Long story short...I was on a rig overseas and we needed a dipping sauce. Using what was available, I threw some stuff into a bowl, stirred it up and we tasted it. Everybody said "Canes!"...lol.

It was Ranch dressing, a little ketchup, garlic powder, plenty black pepper and a dash of hot sauce.

That actually could make a nice variant. Or add some cayenne to my Cane's sauce. I never thought about it having a little heat.

I tried dozens of times making the Cane's sauce. Myself and two buddies would try my sauce next to Cane's and they said it tasted the same. I had a little bit of pickle juice in mine. As luck would have it, I put it in a cookbook before we moved and have no idea where it is.

I'll try this one and see if I can find my old recipe and compare the two.

Sounds interesting. I'm sure there's a million tweaks out there that take the base Cane's recipe to another level.

It’s amazing how many things this perks up. I tried a 1/4 cup in some red beans last week. Perfect.

And I've found almost every copycat recipe on YT for making a Chick-Fil-A chicken breast uses pickle juice as the marinade.

Will do. Love these. I even eat the shriveled up, dried out objects in a Papa John’s box.

Here's the actual Cane's sauce recipe that was posted on this board a while back. As I remember it, the original post had the recipe in restaurant-sized proportions and it had to be cut down to size.

Raising Cane’s Sauce


One of the reasons that everyone claims that every recipe they try is not quite it is that they make the sauce then eat it.

Cane's won't use it until it has sat for 24 hrs. to let the flavors meld. Trust me, this IS Cane's Sauce!"

3/4 cup Mayo
1/4 cup Ketchup
5 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic powder

Mix all ingredients. For best results let sit in fridge for 24 hours.

ETA: the link below contains the big batch ingredients:
