Ingredients

¾ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp black pepper finely cracked
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
Let chill in a covered container in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld.

Notes

One of the key flavors of Raising Cane's Sauce is the pepperiness - Raising Cane's calls it "tangy with a little bit of spice". The best way to recreate this is by using freshly ground black pepper - this is how you can get the best and boldest pepper flavor. Store bought black pepper loses flavor during storage and due to oxidation, so it will not have the same impact as freshly ground.

I recommend letting the flavors meld overnight in the fridge after mixing to allow for the best tasting sauce.

Storage tips:

Store homemade Raising Cane's Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
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.
Don't leave your Homemade Raising Cane's Sauce out - put it back in the refrigerator after opening or using, as the mayo can lead to your Homemade Raising Cane's Sauce going bad if left out.
