Copycat Zax Sauce

We recently went on a road trip, and we were able to hit many restaurants that we usually don’t go to. One of my kid’s favorites was Zaxby’s. I had never heard of it, and I assumed it would be like another fast-food restaurant. My son tried the chicken finger and fell in love with Zax Sauce.

If you have not gone to Zaxby’s or eaten their chicken, let me tell you, it’s flavorful. It is the perfect dipping sauce. So, today, while my kids were doing online school. I made some chicken fingers and surprised them both with my version of Zax Sauce.

You need very little for this sauce, and most of the ingredients are probably in your pantry or refrigerator. So, I hope you can whip up a batch soon.

Pro Tips:

When making this sauce, don’t forget to let it rest in the fridge before serving! This will allow more of its flavors and complexities to meld together.

A few hours should be enough time for you, and I love to make this copycat sauce up and then leave it in the refrigerator overnight. So, by the time I am ready to Serve my Air Fryer Chicken Tenderloins .up, the kids have a great dipping sauce that is already prepared.

What To Serve With Zax Sauce:

If you’re looking for the perfect sauce to serve with your next meal, look no further than Zax Sauce! This unique sauce is ideal for everything from chicken to seafood. But what should you serve with it? Some of my favorite recipes to serve this copycat sauce with are:

  • AIR FRYER SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE (OUTBACK COPYCAT RECIPE)

Variations:

Just like the Zax sauce, you can alter this in several ways. Some of my favorite changes are:

Spicy Version: Add some hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or red chili flakes

Sweet Version: Add maple syrup, granulated sugar, or even honey.

Zesty Version: Add some dried herbs, or even thyme, rosemary, Italian Seasoning, or Ranch Seasoning Mix.

How To Store:

Storage: For best results, make this recipe about 12 to 24 hours ahead of time, and cover and place it into the refrigerator. It will last for about two weeks when kept in the fridge in a stored container.

Freezing: Because the ingredients do not freeze well, it’s not recommended to freeze.
