Answering the prayers of man Chick-fil-A fans, the hit chicken chain will soon begin selling bottled Chick-fil-A and Polynesian sauces.
Starting this April in Florida, Chick-fil-A will begin testing the sale of bottled Chick-fil-A and Polynesian sauces. Both sauces will be the same as the ones used in the fast food restaurants and will come in 16-ounce bottles. The ready-to-use sauces will be available at select retailers in Florida, including Publix, Target, Walmart, and Winn-Dixie. Additionally, 100 percent of the proceeds from Chick-fil-A's retail sales of the bottled sauces will go towards the chain's Team Member scholarship programs.
For those looking for even more sauces, all Chick-fil-A restaurants in Florida will also be offering its Barbeque, Honey Mustard, Garden Herb Ranch, Chick-fil-A, and Polynesian sauces in smaller, 8-oz bottles with catering orders or as separate purchases.
