Swiss Chalet is one of the biggest Canada-based restaurant chains with over 200 stores, and it’s the place our northern neighbors go when they want delicious rotisserie chicken and ribs. At one time there were a few Swiss Chalet restaurants in the U.S., but the last of those closed in 2010. So, if you to want to taste the food from Swiss Chalet and you live in the States, you’re out of luck. Unless you do a little food hacking.

Fortunately, the Canadian chain makes a few of its products available to purchase outside of the restaurant, including the most sought-after recipe from the chain: the dipping sauce. The famous dipping sauce is used on the chain’s popular chicken, fries and rolls, and the instant version of the sauce comes in 36g envelopes, but even those are tough to find in the States. Luckily, I found some on eBay and got to work.

An instant mix like this sauce powder is often tough to copy since many ingredients in the packet are hard to find in supermarkets. For this hack, though, I found Knorr tomato bouillon cubes to be incredibly useful. These cuboids of concentrated flavor contain many of the ingredients we need for a great clone, including tomato powder and chicken fat, both of which can be found in the original.

After you pulverize the bouillon cube into powder, combine it with the other ingredients in a small bowl, and you’ve got an instant dry blend that can be converted into a flavorful sauce in minutes, just like the real thing.
