Comeback Sauce is an amazing Southern classic dipping sauce. It’s a delicious sauce with chicken, wings, salads, fries and more! I have no idea who created it, but I sure wish I could hug their neck in gratitude.

Chicken tenders in a blue bowl beside a clear glass bowl of comeback sauce.

A long standing southern classic, Comeback Sauce comes from the Mississippi region of the south – or so I understand – and I couldn’t be happier that friends of ours from that area while growing up introduced it to my family.

Comeback Sauce Recipe

Chicken tender dipped into a glass container filled with comeback sauce.

Full of delicious flavor, Comeback Sauce is easily one of my favorite go-to items in my refrigerator for all sorts of things. Of course it works perfectly as a dip for chicken fingers, chicken wings, chicken legs, as a salad dressing, and yep – even on eggs. (It’s really delicious on eggs!)

How to Make

This southern favorite sauce couldn’t be easier to whip up and takes only minutes!

All you do is mix all of the ingredients together really well. Then store sauce in the refrigerator. That’s it!

Just do me a favor and try it soon. I promise you won’t be sorry that you did. I wouldn’t steer you wrong!

Here’s that scrumptious Comeback Sauce recipe. I know you’ll love it!

    Do you think it would still be yummy if I substituted greek yogurt for mayonnaise?

  2. Kate says:

    When you say chili sauce, do you mean something like Sriracha, that Heinz stuff, or something else?

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      Hi Kate,
      I just use Heinz Chili Sauce, normally. Actually, I can’t think of when I’ve used another kind. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. shelly (cookies and cups) says:

    How have I never heard of comeback sauce? This looks so good…totally gonna give this a try!

  4. Brenda @ a farmgirl's dabbles says:

    I just love all the southern stuff you teach me about! This sauce sounds awesome, can’t wait to try it!

  5. Des @ Life's Ambrosia says:

    I’m glad I’m not the only one that has never heard of this and I am soooooooo glad you shared it. I’m always looking for a new sauce to dip chicken fingers in besides ranch or BBQ. Thanks for the inspiration!

  6. Mary@SiftingFocus says:

    I have definitely heard of Comeback Sauce but I haven’t ever made it or eaten it. That’s about to change. And, I right there with you as far as the eggs thing – sounds good to me!

  7. Andrea says:

    What kind/brand of chili sauce do you recommend? All I can think of right now is the Asian (Thai) variety, but I don’t think that is what you are referring to…

    1. Robyn Stone says:

      I normally just grab a bottle of the Heinz Chili Sauce at the grocery store and use that. ๐Ÿ™‚

    2. kim reynolds says:

      HEINZ near the ketchup

  8. Saltwater says:

    My comeback sauce is Thousand Island Dressing with some cayenne pepper whisked in.

  9. Katrina @ In Katrina's Kitchen says:

    I don’t know that I’ve had this sauce…but I’m REALLY wanting it!

  10. Chels R. says:
