Honey Roasted BBQ Better Than Chick-Fil-A


When my mom and I were out Christmas shopping a day or so ago, we stopped for lunch at Chick-Fil-A. I had a chicken salad, but she had a sandwich meal. They included a packet of Honey Roasted Barbecue Sauce. We both loved it. Somehow, we had never tried it before. Mom went back to the counter and requested another packet. She asked me to duplicate it at home if I could. That good!

I read the ingredients on the label, but still, this was a tall order. The sauce is not red, not white. Somewhere in between. I decided to Google to see if there were any copycat recipes, and there are. I decided to low carb the recipe. I mean, no wonder it is good, the original is filled with both fat and sugar! I switched to a healthier fat and different sweeteners. My substitute honey is made with maltitol, so remember this is a condiment, not a sauce to be consumed in larger quantities! Gastric issues aside, this is fabulous! Not as tangy as a honey mustard, but much creamier than a traditional barbecue sauce. No wonder you have to request this sauce at the Chick-Fil-A counter!

Since this was a hit, I packed some sauce into an upcycled mustard jar and added a label. This will be one of my mom's gifts this year. Lucky for me, I have the leftovers in the kitchen to add to my lunch!

I made this yesterday, then roasted a couple of chickens, using this as a baste at the end. Put a little on the plate as a dipping sauce when served.

A Winner! My picky husband liked it so much he went into the kitchen for seconds! He is a died-in-the-wool sugary BBQ sauce man. So when he saw my newest "concoction" was not red, he looked a little suspicious.

But we both loved it! Thank you for another great recipe.
