Zaxby’s Restaurant is a chain of restaurants found in the Southern part of the US.

They are know for serving Chicken Fingersand for their famous Zax Sauce.

This Zaxby’s Chicken Fingers Dipping Sauce Recipe is as close to the real deal as you are going to get.

Cast of Ingredients for Zaxby’s Chicken Fingers Dipping Sauce Recipe

There are only five ingredients and I bet you already have all of them in your pantry.

I like using freshly ground pepper, rather than ground pepper that has been sitting around.

This sauce goes really well with my Air Fryer Seasoned French Fries too, as well as my Air Fryer Buttermilk Chicken.

Zaxby’s Dipping Sauce pairs really well with my Pressure Cooker Shrimp Po Boy Roll and my Air Fryer Southern Fried Catfish {Louisiana Cajun Style}

Low Carb Zax Dipping Sauce

To make a low carb version of Zaxby’s Chicken Finger Dipping Sauce, simple use Heinz Sugar Free Ketchup. It’s that easy and that good. You will love using it on my  Low Carb Chicken Schnitzel {Chicken Cutlets}. Dip the cutlets right into the sauce or use it on a chicken sandwich. It is also wonderful on my Air Fryer Low Carb Breaded Pork Chops. Eating low carb doesn’t have to be boring!

 

Whisk it up really well

Whisk it up really well

Use a Whisk or a spoon and Whisk it up really well, so that it is nice and smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Place the Zax sauce in a Mason Jar or container and sprinkle on a little Freshly Grated Pepper.

Refrigerate the Zax Sauce for at least two hours, to give the flavors a chance to fuse together.

    After some attempts to make this sauce, my family found it didnt taste quite like zax sauce, my cousin suggested adding a dash of lemon juice. For us, it now tastes like zax sauce

    Looks good. I have never had Zaxby’s.

    What are the measurements on the garlic powder and the Worcestershire Sauce? Cups, TBSP, or tsp?

      ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
      ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

      My question is how long will it last in the refrigerator once made?
      THanks, as it does look good. 🙂
