Can I make this sauce in advance? 

You sure can. As long as you add the ingredients, stir, and store properly, this can be made in advance. The best way to store this is to add the ingredients to an airtight container and then keep it stored in the fridge.

The total time to make it is just minutes so whipping it up to use throughout the week is a great idea. 

What kind of barbecue sauce should I use? 

That's really up to you. Just know that whatever sauce you use, will make up a majority of the flavor and taste. Make note of what you add and what you like so that it can replicate it when you make it again for future use. 

Can I freeze this sauce? 

No, I don't recommend freezing this Chick Fil A Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce Recipe. The colder temperature could cause the sauce to freeze and then unthaw into a different texture and taste. For the best results, make this sauce fresh to use. 

Make sure that you store it in the fridge in a container with a lid. Anytime that you want to use some, use a clean spoon to dip out the sauce that you want.
