What is Raising Cane's special sauce made of? ›

What Is In Cane's Sauce? Cane's sauce is a take on Russian Dressing or Thousand Island Dressing, AKA many fast food chain's special sauce. It's a mayonnaise-based sauce with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings like garlic powder and lots of freshly cracked black pepper.

Like Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A sauce has a thick mayo base and a tangy sharpness supplied by pepper, vinegar, and garlic. Where it diverges is the addition of sweetness from honey mustard and ketchup-based barbecue sauce.

Raising Cane's cooks all of our fried foods in an all-vegetable, trans fat free blend of soybean and canola oil. According to the FDA, highly refined soybean oil is not considered allergenic, and therefore is not labeled as such. Please inform the Manager if you have a food allergy.

Cane's sauce should be stored covered in the refrigerator. If using store-bought mayonnaise and ketchup with preservatives, your homemade Cane's sauce will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. If using Paleo or homemade mayo and ketchup, the sauce should be used within seven days.

Our Namesake
