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 Zax Sauce for dipping.

Copycat Zaxby’s Zax Sauce Tips
- I use light Duke’s mayonnaise 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!

I love Zazbys! Can’t wait to try your copycat!!
I was a manager of a Zaxby’s for a while. While it isn’t the exact thing, this is the closest copy I’ve ever made. So so good!
That’s awesome Tom, we’re stationed with the military overseas and I make this a lot, can’t wait to get back to the US and have the real thing later this year! ~Melissa
How much does it make?
It’s just under 2 cups Ellie, about enough for our family of 5 for one meal dipping chicken fingers and fries-it may vary for other families… ~Melissa
