What Is Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce?
Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce is a creamy dipping sauce built on a mayonnaise base, blended with honey, mustard, and vinegar for a sweet-tart flavor with a smooth, spreadable texture. It’s served alongside fried chicken, tenders, and biscuits, and is available both as a free side with combo meals and as a standalone add-on.
For the full lineup of items this sauce pairs with, see the Bojangles Chicken Menu
Flavor & Texture
Flavor: Mild, sweet-forward, with a light tang from the mustard and vinegar underneath. It reads as balanced rather than sharp one of the milder honey mustards in the fast-food category which is part of why it works across both kid- and adult-oriented orders.
Texture: Thick and creamy, similar to a light mayonnaise-based dressing. It clings to fried surfaces rather than running off, which is why it holds up well as a dip for tenders and fries rather than a drizzle sauce.
Ingredients
Verified from the retail-bottled Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce (14 oz), as listed identically on both Kroger’s and Harris Teeter’s product pages:
Soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, water, honey, distilled and cider vinegar, sugar, prepared horseradish (horseradish roots, distilled vinegar, water, salt), egg yolks, salt, mustard seed, spices, paprika, oleoresin paprika, natural flavor, turmeric, caramel color, xanthan gum, propylene glycol alginate, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate (preservatives), calcium disodium EDTA (added to protect flavor).
Two important caveats:
- This ingredient list is for the retail grocery-store bottle, not necessarily the in-restaurant packet or dipping-cup formulation. Restaurant chains sometimes use a slightly different supplier formulation for foodservice versus retail packaging, even under the same product name. Treat this as strong evidence, not a guarantee, for what’s in the in-store version.
- Soybean oil appears in the ingredient list, but the retail label’s allergen declaration doesn’t flag soy — this is expected, not an error: highly refined soybean oil is exempt from the U.S. major-allergen labeling requirement (FALCPA) because the refining process removes the proteins that trigger soy allergies. Someone with a soy allergy should still exercise caution and ask, since this is a general labeling rule, not a guarantee for this specific product.
For allergy-critical decisions, always confirm against the current in-restaurant allergen sheet or ask a manager — ingredient sourcing can change without updating third-party retail listings like this one.

For a smaller 1 oz portion, figures are commonly estimated at roughly half (~140 calories) — but treat this as a rough extrapolation, not a sourced figure. Sauces don’t always scale perfectly linearly by weight (settling, water content, and fill variance can skew smaller cups slightly off a clean 50% split). Always check the packet or Bojangles’ official nutrition PDF for the exact size you’re being served.
Allergens
Per Bojangles’ official nutrition guide, Honey Mustard Sauce is declared to contain only egg as a major allergen soy, milk, and wheat are not marked for this specific item on the official chart, despite soybean oil appearing in the retail ingredient list (see the FALCPA note above for why that’s not a contradiction).
That said, Bojangles’ own guide carries a blanket disclaimer that applies to every item on the menu: “Some products may contain allergens including but not limited to milk, eggs, wheat, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish and sesame. As a result, we are unable to guarantee that any menu item can be completely free of allergens.” In practice, that means cross-contact with other allergens (mustard, wheat, dairy) is possible depending on the location’s kitchen setup, even though only egg is formally declared for this sauce.
If you have a food allergy, Ask staff for Bojangles’ current printed allergen guide or check bojangles.com directly, since formulations and cross-contact risk can change.
Is It Gluten-Free?
The core recipe doesn’t call for wheat-based ingredients, so it’s typically considered gluten-free. However, because it’s prepared in a kitchen that also handles breaded, wheat-containing items, cross-contact is possible. If you have celiac disease rather than a general sensitivity, treat “gluten-free” claims from any fast-food kitchen with appropriate caution and ask about dedicated prep procedures.
Is It Healthy?
Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce is a flavor add-on, not a health food at 280 calories and 25g of fat per 2 oz serving, it’s calorically dense for its portion size, and most of that comes from the mayonnaise base. Using it sparingly (a light dip rather than a full coating) keeps it from meaningfully derailing a meal. Pairing a small amount with grilled options rather than fried ones is the more moderate way to enjoy it.
Best Pairings
Unlike the nutrition and allergen data above, these pairings are editorial judgment based on flavor profile and common ordering patterns not sourced from an official Bojangles “recommended pairings” list, which doesn’t appear to exist publicly. Treat this section as a suggestion, not a documented fact.
| Menu Item | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Chicken Supremes® | Classic crispy-chicken-and-honey-mustard combo |
| Bo Bites™ | Small bite size makes for easy full-coverage dipping |
| Cajun Filet Biscuit | Sweetness balances the cajun spice |
| Biscuits (plain) | Neutral base lets the sauce flavor lead |
| Coleslaw | Adds crunch and acidity alongside the creaminess |

Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce vs. Chick-fil-A Honey Mustard
Not all Bojangles Honey Mustard Sauce are built the same way the base changes the calorie profile a lot. Bojangles’ is mayonnaise-based (creamy, higher fat), while Chick-fil-A’s is closer to a light vinaigrette (fat-free, thinner texture). Figures below are official where available.
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 430 |
| Total Fat | 22 g |
| Saturated Fat | 9 g |
| Sodium | 980 mg |
| Protein | 14 g |
If you’re watching calories or fat, Chick-fil-A’s version is the lightest of the two by a wide margin it’s essentially fat-free. If you want the richest, most indulgent dip specifically for fried chicken, Bojangles’ mayo-based version is built for that job.
Chick-fil-A figures sourced directly from its official nutrition page (chick-fil-a.com); Bojangles figure sourced directly from Bojangles’ own official Nutrition Facts guide (bojangles.com/menu/nutrition/) the 1 oz figure remains an extrapolation, as noted above.
