Canes sauce is known for its crazy good flavor profile. Dip your chicken fingers, potato chips, and even fries.
If you’ve ever craved that creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy dipping sauce from Raising Cane’s, this homemade Cane’s Sauce recipe is for you! It’s incredibly easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and delivers all the bold flavor you know and love. Perfect for dipping chicken tenders, fries, or spreading on sandwiches—once you try it, you’ll want to keep a jar in the fridge at all times.
Canes Sauce is similar to a fry sauce but it has the black pepper, Worcestershire and garlic powder in there that give it more flavor. It is tangy with a little bit of a kick. Fry sauce is really just ketchup and mayo, so this is a little different, but very similar.
Unfortunately Raising Cane’s restaurants are not all over the place, so not everyone can experience it. But trust me, try this copycat version for Canes Sauce and you will understand what all the hype is about.
What You’ll Need

- Mayo – for a true copycat recipe you will want to use the full fat variety.
- Ketchup
- Garlic Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Black Pepper
- Cajun Seasoning – this is optional, but I think it gives it the kick that Canes sauce has
How to Make Canes Sauce
- Measure. In a small bowl add all of the ingredients.
- Mix. Whisk until it is well blended.
- Chill. Cover and store in the fridge for at least a few hours before serving.
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
- Chill. The key is really to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together. This makes all the difference between a boring sauce and the Cane’s sauce you will fall in love with. The longer this sits in the fridge the better it gets. You need a minimum of 2 hours for the flavors to start to come together, but if you can let it sit for 24 hours, that is even better!
- Cajun Seasoning. This is a little bit of a debated ingredient in the recipe. Some people swear it is in there, others say absolutely not. I think just a pinch works great in this, not very much. But it is up to you if you add it or not.
- Storage. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Serving Suggestions
Canes sauce has quickly become a staple at our house. It is good on so much more than just chicken tenders.
- Great for topping burgers
- Dip your fries, sweet potato fries, and tots
- As a dip for chips or veggies
- Use in place of mayo on sandwiches

I would dip everything into this sauce. I bet it even tastes better than what you can get from Cane’s.
I bet this tastes much better than the original. I know that I wouldn’t be able to stop double dipping!
This sauce was really amazing! Can’t wait to make it again!
This tastes JUST like the one from Cane’s. I love that I can always have some on hand now!
Made this and added Old Bay seasoning..
PERFECT MATCH!!!
my nephew works there and says there is dijon mustard and onion powder in it… so my recipe is mayo, ketchup, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, fine ground black pepper, kosher salt, and i added a bit of tony cachere’s, cuz if you look at the sauce, there are red specks in it.. likely from paprika or cajun seasoning. mine tastes just like theirs.
measurements???

Super easy sauce and it was excellent with the EXTRA Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Tenders. I used light mayo to keep the calories in check and of course no one could tell. Kids loved it too! It would be excellent for fries, onion rings, and even burgers!
I added Dijon mustard per one of the above comments and it was perfect! I added about 1 -2 T. Yum!
