Raising Cane's Sauce Copycat Recipe - Little Sunny Kitchen (1)

Raising Cane’s is a chain fast food restaurant based in Louisiana with over 570 locations across the United States and internationally. If you’ve been lucky enough to visit one of those locations, you may have had the experience of their delicious fresh, hand-breaded chicken fingers with coleslaw and their tangy creamy sauce.

Mayonnaise – This is the base of the dipping sauce and makes it creamy and thick.Try my 5-minute homemade mayonnaise, it’s so easy to make and tastes much better than the store-bought stuff!
Ketchup – The orange color of the sauce comes from the ketchup mixing with the mayonnaise. Ketchup adds sweetness too.
Worcestershire Sauce – This savory sauce adds tons of flavor and a bit of tang to the mix.
Lemon Juice – This adds a bright tang to our copycat sauce.
Garlic Powder – Big, sweet, garlic flavor comes from this spice.
Black Pepper – I like to grind mine fresh for extra spice.
Salt – Any good dipping sauce is going to be a bit salty. Add more or less to your own taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Canyou buy Cane’s Sauce in a bottle?

At this time Cane’s sauce is not sold in stores, but if you have a restaurant nearby they will sell you larger containers of the sauce if you ask. I think I’ll stick to making my own!

Is Cane’s Sauce Thousand Island?

There’s some debate on the internet about whether or not Cane’s sauce is just spiced up thousand island dressing. You can see from this recipe that it’s definitely way different than that. The base of the sauce is similar though. Thousand island dressing starts with mayo and ketchup as well.

Can you Make Vegan Cane’s Sauce?

Absolutely. Sub in your favorite vegan mayo for the mayonnaise and you’ll have a delicious vegan friendly Cane’s sauce.

Just made this. It is yummy! I used a teaspoon of pickle juice. I didn’t have any lemon. Going to put it on homemade cheeseburgers with some homemade pickled onions.
