What is canes sauce?

Canes sauce is the famous dip from Raising Cane's-a fast-food chain loved for its chicken fingers. The exact recipe is top secret, but making a copycat version at home is surprisingly simple. With just a few pantry staples, you'll have a sauce that's creamy, garlicky, and impossible not to double-dip.

Ingredients you'll need

This recipe yields 8 servings (plenty for chicken night!).

½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon coarsely ground fresh black pepper
Hot store-bought chicken fingers, for serving
Hot crinkle-cut fries, for serving

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Gather your ingredients

Lay everything out on the counter. Trust me, this makes mixing so much faster.

Step 2: Mix the sauce

In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic, and pepper until smooth.

Step 3: Serve or chill

If you're eating right away, scoop the sauce into a small bowl and serve with hot chicken fingers and fries.
If you have a little time, cover and refrigerate it overnight-the flavors blend even better.

Tips for the best canes sauce

Chill time matters: Letting the sauce sit in the fridge overnight really deepens the flavor.
Adjust the spice: Add a dash of hot sauce if you like more heat.
Batch-friendly: This recipe doubles easily, and the sauce lasts up to 1 week in the fridge.
Use fresh condiments: Old ketchup or mayo can dull the taste.

Serving suggestions

With crispy chicken tenders (classic Raising Cane's style)
As a dip for fries or onion rings
Spread on a burger or chicken sandwich
Paired with fresh veggies like carrots, celery, or peppers
