Notes

Can I Adjust the Recipe?
Of course, you can, but any changes you make will alter its signature flavor.
If you prefer a crisp, bright flavor, add lemon juice to the mixture. To achieve more of a tomato-based flavor, double the amount of ketchup in the recipe or add a tablespoon of tomato paste.
Cane’s chicken sauce is mildly spicy, but if you like a spicier sauce, add your favorite hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the mix.
Sour cream can be used instead of mayonnaise in the recipe; it will add another dimension to the flavor, but it won’t quite be the same.
What does Cane’s Sauce taste like?
It’s got a unique flavor profile that starts off tangy and is followed by a subtle peppery warmth. It’s not overly spicy, but the flavor does have a zesty edge. But not to worry; the slightly sweet flavor balances the sauce. Don’t think of it as a “hot” sauce, think of it as a super-charged, gourmet fry sauce!
Can I freeze the sauce?
Mayonnaise-based sauces do not freeze well. They tend to separate when thawed, creating an oily, unappetizing mess.
