How to Make Raising Cane’s Sauce
Making Copycat Cane’s Sauce is so easy – it’s only two steps!
- First step is to prepare all of the ingredients – measure out the mayonnaise, liquid seasonings, and dry seasonings then add them into a bowl.
- Second step is to mix all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours. I cannot stress how important this step is – the 24 hours allows all of the flavors meld together to create that iconic Raising Cane’s flavor.
CJ’s TIPS
CJ’s Recipe & Storage Tips
Let it Rest for 24 Hours! A secret of Raising Cane’s is that they supposedly do not use any sauce that has not rested for at least 24 hours – this may be why your homemade sauce does not taste the same! Mixing the ingredients together is only the first step – you need to let it rest for 24 hours in the refrigerator so the flavors can meld together. (If you skip this step, your sauce will most likely just taste like ketchup.) I promise the wait is worth it – make sure to let your Raising Cane’s sauce rest for 24 hours before enjoying it!
How to Store Homemade Cane’s Sauce
- You can store Homemade Raising Cane’s Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Don’t leave your Homemade Raising Cane’s Sauce out – put it back in the refrigerator after opening or using.
- Make sure your container is well sealed to prevent your Copycat Raising Cane’s Sauce from spoiling.
- Avoid dipping directly into the jar and only use clean utensils – any bacteria from food or used utensils will make your Homemade Raising Cane’s Sauce go bad faster.

This is an update on my comment of yesterday morning. We had this sauce on fried chicken sandwiches last night for dinner. Although the sauce was only able to sit about 12 hours in the fridge, it was still very yummy. I used regular coarse ground black pepper because that’s what I had and I did add a extra black pepper. I also added a few dashes of hot sauce Let me reiterate that i’ve never eaten at a Raising Cane. this rating isn’t about how close it tastes to Canes sauce because I have no idea. It’s rated on the taste of the sauces itself, which is very tasty 😋 I can’t wait to try it on fries and onion rings.
Thank you for your recipe. I’ve had it for a few months and I’m finally getting around to making it today.
I’ve never eaten anything from Raising Caneuce so I don’t have anything to compare it to. But I came across your recipe and saw the pic and it looks so yummy I decided to try it.
I didn’t realize this had to sit overnight and plan to use some of this tonight for dinner.
I compleeetely understand it that it may not be “as good” if it doesn’t sit that long to give the flavors have time to “party” (same as when you make potato salad, pasta salad, coleslaw, etc. Ya gotta let it sit at LEAST 12 hrs for optimal yumminess) but that doesn’t in any way mean it won’t be delicious sooner and I’m not looking to copy the taste of something else – just looking for a yummy condiment.
Thank you again. Will let you know how it comes out.
You can absolutely enjoy it as soon as it’s mixed, but it’ll only get better with time! Thanks for trying my recipe!
Going to try this thanks !
Add a touch of cayenne < your welcome
Delicious! Tastes identical to Caine’s sauce
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Barbara!
“Perfect” in the words of my 12 year old son who was requesting Raising Cane. I have never had their food before, but this sauce sure was delicious, Thanks
Easy and perfect!!
Very helpful. thanks for sharing.
I’m speechless. This tastes so good! I’m not from the US, and we don’t have Raising Cane’s in our country, so I tried to use recipes online. I tried to make your recipe and, needless to say, I’m in LOVE with the taste. Thank you!
That makes me so happy to hear – thank you Sanaz!
Can’t wait to try it! The very first Raising Canes was opened by Todd Graves right outside the gates of the LSU campus. Now he lives right across the small lake from the LSU campus. We pass his house every game day!!!
Let me know what you think!
