    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Chick-fil-A sauce vegan?

    No, it is not as it has honey, which is animal based.

    Who invented Chick-fil-A sauce?

    Hugh Fleming created it in the early 1980s for his Chick-fil-A store in Spotsylvania. The Free Lance-Star reported that Fleming never named the sauce and patrons referred to it as "that special sauce" or "Mr. Fleming's Sauce".

    Can I freeze chick-fil-a sauce?

    Considering this sauce contains mayonnaise, you should not freeze it. Freezing will only separate all the ingredients and make the sauce taste and look odd.
