What Ingredients Are in Chick-fil-A Sauces?
The exact formulas differ by sauce, and Chick-fil-A does not disclose every secret aspect of its recipes. The company specifically says it cannot reveal the secret ingredients in products such as Chick-fil-A Sauce.
The published ingredient information does, however, show the main components of the sauces.
Chick-fil-A Sauce contains soybean oil, sugar, vinegar, yellow mustard, egg yolk, tomato paste, cider vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, mustard flour, natural smoke flavor, garlic and onion, among other ingredients.
Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Sauce contains sugar, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, jalapeño pepper, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, ginger, red bell pepper and other seasonings and preservatives. Chick-fil-A describes it as sweet and tangy with chili peppers for a spicy twist.
The other sauces use different combinations of ingredients and seasonings. Anyone managing a food allergy should check Chick-fil-A’s current ingredient and allergen information rather than relying only on a general sauce description.
Chick-fil-A Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Sauce
Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Sauce combines sweetness, tanginess and chili heat. A standard container has 45 calories, 0 grams of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates and 0 grams of protein. Chick-fil-A’s nutrition information lists 380 milligrams of sodium and 10 grams of sugar per 28-gram serving.
It is a good option when you want more heat without choosing a creamy sauce. The flavor comes from ingredients including chili garlic sauce, jalapeño pepper, aged cayenne red pepper, ginger and red bell pepper.
