Frequently Asked Questions
No, it is not as it has honey, which is animal based.
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".
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.
