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.

Cane’s sauce recipe is a secret, but we’ve used our taste buds to create a copycat Cane’s sauce that I think is pretty close to the real thing. Once you learn how to make Cane’s sauce you’ll never need to head to the restaurant again. Try it for yourself with your own homemade Chicken Tenders!

Ingredients in Cane’s Sauce

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious 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.
