Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Add the mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard, barbecue sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and paprika to a small bowl.
  2. Whisk the ingredients until the sauce is completely smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best flavor, chill the sauce for several hours or overnight.
  4. Stir the chilled sauce before serving, then use it with chicken, fries, nuggets, sandwiches, or burgers.

Notes

Use full-fat mayonnaise for the closest thick, creamy texture. Choose a mildly smoky barbecue sauce instead of one that is intensely spicy or very sweet. The sauce keeps its best flavor when covered and refrigerated, and it should be stirred before serving.
