For Father’s Day, why not treat Dad to something special he can really sink his teeth into? I’m talking about the Big Daddy Burger with a very special sauce; a sauce that America loves. If you believe social media, the Chick-fil-A Original Dipping Sauce Is one of the most craveable condiments for burgers, bites and nuggets. In cooking school this week I had a class filled with Dad’s and their kids, creating special recipes for Dad’s big day. We wondered if we could re-create the famous Chick-fil-A dipping sauce for our chicken burgers. So we put our heads, creativity and ingredients together and started whisking away! Wow!! Winner, winner, chicken dinner and a delicious sauce for Dad’s Father’s Day burger and fries!

Instructions
For the Burger:
- Make the Special Sauce by combining the mayo, honey, mustard, BBQ sauce, liquid smoke, paprika and salt in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and refrigerate until ready to use. In a skillet, heat butter over medium high heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown. Let cool. In a bowl, combine ground beef, cooled sautéed onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Gently mix to combine. Form 4 equal sized patties. Grease a large skillet or grill plate with cooking spray. Cook burgers on medium high for 6-8 minutes on each side. Flip once, and add a slice of cheese on top. Cook meat to 155 degrees for beef and 165 degrees for turkey and chicken. Slather the special sauce over buns and top with burger, a slice of tomato, avocado and a piece of lettuce.
For Air-Fryer French Fries:
- Cut potatoes lengthwise into planks, then into 1/2 inch sticks for the fries. Place potatoes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Drain and repeat until water is clear. Cover with HOT tap water and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. In a bowl, gently toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil. Cook for 10 minutes at 350 degrees or until potatoes go from white to golden blonde in color. Transfer the fries back to the bowl and gently toss with 1 more tablespoon of oil, salt and garlic powder. Return fries to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
