You're probably here because you've been dreaming about Cane's Sauce recipe from the fast food superstars Raising Cane’s restaurants.
And trust me, I get it. That tangy, zesty, creamy sauce is **chef’s kiss**.

The spices? Think Creole-style seasoning with a little bit of spice, just the right amount of heat and depth. It's perfect with crispy chicken tenders, crinkle fries, or even on a sandwich.
Whether you're making air fryer chicken tenders or whipping up a batch of homemade chicken tenders or chicken strips, this delicious sauce is one of my favorite things leveling up your meal.

Ingredients & Substitutions
- Duke's Mayonnaise: From everything I read, the base of their signature sauce is what's called a "heavy mayo" and to me, there is no thicker, better mayo than DUKES!
- Ketchup: Since this is a copycat recipe, there is no real sub for ketchup - otherwise it will taste nothing like the original. Don't use a light mayo like miracle whip or nonfat greek yogurt - it just isn't the same in this creamy sauce!
- Worcestershire Sauce: Same goes with this ingredient but if you had to swap it out, i guess you could try soy sauce.
- Creole Seasoning: Even though we'll never know the real thing, my copycat cane's sauce is soooo close! And I think it's because of the creole seasoning. It's got so much flavor and really adds depth and zest to the recipe. It's the perfect balance to the other components in this homemade sauce.
- Garlic Powder: You could also use garlic salt if you have that, just don't add extra salt at the end.
- Kosher Salt: You could use sea salt but use it sparingly so it doesn't over power this homemade recipe.
- Fresh Cracked Black pepper: We're talkin' big chunks of fresh cracked black pepper to give us that texture and spice! You can use regular pepper but it just won't have the same feel.
- Optional Additions: A lot of people love to add lemon juice to their cane's sauce recipe but from my source, it's not in the original recipe. But if you like a tangy sauce, go for it! Hot sauce is another one, but if you're using a creole seasoning (like tony chachere or this one I have pictured that I got in NOLA), it has enough spice to cover that.
