Comeback Sauce Complete Information

KFC Comeback Sauce costs $0.29 and carries 120 cal. Comeback sauce is a Mississippi original, invented in a Jackson restaurant in the 1930s and a Southern staple long before KFC put it on a national menu. Peppery and savoury with a chilli edge, it is sharper than KFC Sauce and less sweet than anything else on the dip list.

Its ancestry shows in what it suits. A sauce built for fried fish and crackers goes better on plain Original Recipe pieces than on anything already sauced, and it is the one dip on the Sides menu that a plain Secret Recipe Fries order genuinely improves. On calories it lands alongside Buffalo Ranch rather than with the sweet sauces, because the base is closer to a mayonnaise than to a syrup.

KFC Comeback Sauce Recipe

A dip is the easiest thing on this site to reproduce at home and the one where the difference in cost is largest. Five minutes of whisking replaces a tub at $0.29, and the result keeps for a week.

Tips

  • Rest it. This is the whole difference between a homemade dip and one that tastes like the tub.
  • Make double. It keeps a week in a sealed jar and you will use it faster than that.
  • Taste it cold, which is how it will be eaten.

Variations

  • Thin with a spoon of buttermilk for a pourable dressing rather than a dip.
  • Add cayenne or hot sauce a quarter teaspoon at a time for a hot version.
  • Double the acid for something sharper that cuts fried food harder.

Serve it with

  • With tenders, which is what dips are actually ordered for.
  • As a sandwich spread rather than a dip.
  • A jar costs less than three tubs at $0.29 each.

A home version of Comeback Sauce. It is our own recipe, not KFC's, and the Original Recipe blend stays a trade secret.

A Mississippi sauce from the 1930s, built on a mayonnaise base with pepper, chilli and spices. It was a Southern staple long before it reached a national menu.

120 cal per tub, in the same bracket as Buffalo Ranch.

Peppery rather than hot. There is a chilli edge, but it sits well below Buffalo Ranch.

Plain Original Recipe chicken, and Secret Recipe Fries. It is wasted on anything already carrying a sauce.
