Canes Sauce Recipe
This homemade Canes Sauce recipe is creamy, tangy, and perfectly peppery—just like Raising Cane’s Sauce. Stir it together in minutes, then chill for the best “copycat” flavor. Perfect for chicken tenders, nuggets, and fries.
Servings: 8
Cost: $5
Equipment
- whisk
- measuring spoon
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise full-fat is best
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine black pepper add more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt optional, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt (if using) until completely smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
- After chilling, taste and adjust as needed: add more black pepper for bite, a tiny splash more Worcestershire for tang, or a touch of honey for sweetness.
Notes
- Chilling is key: the sauce tastes noticeably more like Raising Cane’s after a couple hours in the fridge.
- Full-fat mayo gives the best flavor and texture, but vegan mayo works if you need a vegetarian option
- Pepper level is personal: start with the recipe, then adjust after chilling for that signature bite.
- Storage: keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 7–10 days.
