Do you have Zaxby's where you live? It's a fast-food restaurant down in the Southeast that serves the most amazing chicken-along with their famous spicy Zax Sauce for dipping. (Also sometimes called Fry Sauce or Pink Sauce)

After our last visit, my husband was craving some Zaxby's so I cooked up my own version of their "chicken fingerz" and made this copycat Zax Sauce recipe to serve with it. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you the batch was gone in less than 20 minutes!

Tips for best results

I use light Duke's mayo and have no issues with it although many other copycat recipes I've found online recommend Hellman's, supposedly because the lemon flavor is more pronounced. I add lemon juice to mine so I've had no issue.
Spray your measuring spoon with nonstick spray before measuring the molasses-it will slide right off and make sure you get the proper amount in the bowl, no sticking to the spoon!
Letting the sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least an house is essential to letting the flavors blend. Make it the night before for even better flavor!

Serving suggestions

Serve this sauce with chicken, fries, or onion rings-it's good with SO many different foods! You can spread it on a sandwich or dip your favorite snacks.
