Let it rest
- Giving the sauce at least an hour in the fridge before serving allows all the flavors a chance to combine to make the most delicious experience!
Lawry’s Seasoned Salt makes this recipe

How to make Raising Cane’s Sauce

This homemade Raising Cane’s sauce recipe is so easy – you put everything in a bowl and whisk it together until it drizzles! I store it in a half-pint mason jar in the refrigerator.
