Bojangle’s Bo’s Special Sauce (Copycat Recipe)

I love a simple fried chicken sandwich. Delicious, moist, tender chicken. Crunchy breading. Served on a bun with lettuce, tomato, onion… and a sauce. A good sauce. A little something to cut through the heaviness from that deep-fried loveliness. This copycat recipe of Bojangle’s Bo’s Special sauce did the trick. This nice creamy sauce has a little edge to it. A little kick. Thanks to horseradish.

Heck I’m Not Even A Fan Of Horseradish

The funny thing about this copycat recipe of Bojangle’s Bo’s Special Sauce? I’m not even a big fan of horseradish and I still loved it. Sometimes dishes go too far with the horseradish for me. It’s not that I don’t like that taste, that flavor. It just makes my mouth feel weird! But not in this sauce! This sauce has the perfect balance of flavors, even the horseradish!

Make a batch and keep it on hand for more than just fried chicken sandwiches. Try it on burgers. Lunchmeat sandwiches. Any place you might want to use mayonnaise, this is better. And yes, that includes dipping French fries! What? You don’t dip your fries in mayo? Well, now’s the time my friends!

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Mmmmm Mayo

I’m rather a bit of a mayo-aholic. I love the stuff. Not the point where I can sit down with a spoon and a jar of it like I would peanut butter. But close. And I’m kinda picky about my mayo too. I think I should be. In a recipe like this, the mayo you use can make or break it. That’s why I use Blue Plate. It’s a good tasting, quality mayonnaise. That tastes like mayonnaise. I love it!

This sauce is great on my spicy fried chicken sandwich.
