Copycat Chick fil A Polynesian Sauce
We have talked a few times about how we used to only get Chick fil A when we were traveling because there wasn't one close to us.
We started making Chick fil A copycat recipes at home to recreate our favorites until we could get to a Chick-fil-A again.
Have you seen our recipes for Chick fil A Sauce and Chick fil A Lemonade? We also have Chick-fil-A Frosted Lemonade that we LOVE!
Today I am sharing an easy-to-follow Polynesian Sauce recipe. I worked on this recipe for a while and tried all sorts of variations until we got one we were really happy with.
I wish I would have taken video and photos of all the variations we made. Imagine my husband and I sitting at the table going back and forth between our Polynesian Sauce and one from the restaurant to see if they tasted the same.
Some of the recipes we tried were way off and then finally we landed on this Polynesian Sauce Recipe that we love.
One of the best parts is it makes a medium bowl's worth of dipping sauce so you don't have to beg the restaurant for 800 mini packages of sauce. LOL!
If you haven't had Polynesian Sauce it is a sweet and sour sauce with a tangy flavor.
Chick fil A introduced the Polynesian Sauce back in 1984 even before they brought out Chick fil A Sauce.
Ingredients
- Catalina Dressing
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Honey
Catalina Dressing - You may see recipes that use California French Dressing instead of Catalina Dressing. We tried this dressing and did not find it the right flavor.
Honey - We like the sweet addition of honey in this recipe. You can use corn syrup but it doesn't have the same taste.
Equipment Needed
Medium Bowl
Whisk
Measuring Cup/Spoons
How do you store Polynesian Sauce?
Store your sauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. The sauce should be good for 2-3 weeks.
I highly suggest planning for this sauce to chill in the fridge for an hour or two. The flavors meld together and taste amazing.
Recipe Tips
I spray my measuring cup with non-stick spray to make it easier to measure the honey and mix it with all the other ingredients.
The longer the Polynesian Sauce sits in the fridge the more the flavors meld together. You may find that it gets a little thicker the longer it sits in the fridge. If you don't like the thickness just stir it with a spoon before serving.
