How to make Raising Cane’s famous sauce
Raising Cane’s comes from Baton Rouge, the capital of the US state of Louisiana, and is known for its chicken fingers, fries and buttered toast (preferably on both sides). The chain Raising Cane’s is also famous, and it’s a real shame that this chain cannot be found in the Netherlands. But you can make Raising Cane’s famous sauce at home!
And that’s actually the only thing they sell, besides the chicken burger that’s also on the menu. But still, they don’t need a more extensive menu, because people keep coming back anyway. The reason: Raising Cane’s sauce.
Raising Cane’s signature sauce
That sauce is so heavenly that people not only come back for it, but also buy it in large quantities — so that when they go to another fast-food chain, they still have the famous Raising Cane’s sauce to dip their food in. Naturally, this gives me serious FOMO, because it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a location in the Netherlands anytime soon either… So we’ll just have to take matters into our own hands and make that sauce at home.
It’s a secret recipe, but many people have already tried to recreate it, with varying degrees of success. According to many, the one from Alphafoodie comes closest to the original, so I’m delighted to share this recipe with you.
How to make Raising Cane’s sauce
It’s very simple: just mix all the ingredients together. As for the spices, you can optionally add cayenne pepper, onion powder, Cajun seasoning and/or Creole seasoning , but that’s entirely up to your taste. The very best tip: make it a day in advance, because it’s at its very best after a day. The flavors are then just a little better balanced and it’s wonderfully creamy. Ideal for dipping fries, chicken or really anything into. You’re welcome.
