Chick-fil-A’s signature sauce now has a new home at wholesale dealers Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s.
For those wanting more than just those little packets at Chick-fil-A restaurants or the Walmart 16 oz size bottles, they can get now get 24-ounce two-pack bundles at wholesale clubs, per Oregan Live.
The new hefty packs are “giving customers a simple way to bring their favorite flavors into their at-home cooking routines,” Chick-fil-A said in a statement.
There’s a lot you can do with that much sauce. Have it on a salad or hotdog, put it on homemade chicken sandwiches or use it as the base sauce for a pizza — that went viral last year — the possibilities are endless.

The fast-food chain also launched three new condiment flavors in regular grocery stores. It’s stocking shelves with Zesty Buffalo Sauce, Honey Mustard Sauce and in-store exclusive — Parmesan Caesar Dressing, as reported by Allrecipes.
All of these new products will arrive on shelves in the next few weeks.
Ahead of the launch, Chick-fil-A’s grocery line included Chick-fil-A Sauce, Polynesian Sauce, Barbecue Sauce, Sweet & Spicy Sriracha Sauce, Avocado Lime Ranch Dressing, Garden Herb Ranch Dressing, Creamy Salsa Dressing and Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing.
On the restaurant side, Chick-fil-A just introduced a few new items on March 17, the Smokehouse BBQ Bacon Sandwich and Pineapple Dragonfruit drinks: Pineapple Dragonfruit Frosted Lemonade, Pineapple Dragonfruit Lemonade, Pineapple Dragonfruit Iced Tea and Pineapple Dragonfruit Sunjoy.
If you’re an adult who grew up going to Chick-fil-A, you may remember that its signature sauce wasn’t always on the menu. The company officially introduced the sauce in 2006, but its origin actually goes back to the early ’80s.
Virginia franchise owner Hugh Fleming got wind that some of his customers thought the chicken nuggets would taste better with dipping sauces. According to Chowhound, at the time, Chick-fil-A didn’t offer any sauces. So, Fleming and his staff started making homemade honey mustard dipping sauce.
When a staff member accidentally combined barbecue sauce with honey mustard, a legend was born. Fleming further developed the recipe, which is said to consist of honey mustard, barbecue sauce and ranch. It was a huge success, and Fleming’s restaurant would go through gallons of the sauce.
After a couple of decades, he generously gave the recipe to corporate Chick-fil-A at no cost. Now, 20 years later, here we are with millions of Americans benefitting from the happy accident — running to Costco.
