Ingredients
- •- ½ cup mayonnaise (use quality brand like Duke's or Hellmann's)
- •- 2 tablespoons honey
- •- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (smoky variety preferred)
- •- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- •- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- •- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- •- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- •- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- •- Pinch of fine sea salt
- •- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Measure the mayonnaise into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring you have a smooth, room-temperature base for optimal blending.
- 2Add the honey directly into the mayonnaise and whisk vigorously until completely incorporated and no streaks remain, about 30 seconds.
- 3Pour in the barbecue sauce and yellow mustard, whisking continuously in a circular motion until the mixture becomes uniformly golden-tan in color, about 45 seconds.
- 4Drizzle in the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, whisking thoroughly to distribute the tangy elements throughout the sauce.
- 5Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the surface of the sauce. Whisk briskly for 1 full minute until all seasonings are completely blended and no spice clumps remain visible.
- 6Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for 30 minutes minimum to allow the flavors to meld and develop their signature taste profile. The resting period is crucial for achieving that authentic restaurant flavor.
- 7Whisk briefly before serving to re-emulsify if any separation has occurred during storage. Serve chilled alongside chicken nuggets, waffle fries, or sandwiches.
