Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Measure out mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, and barbecue sauce until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and whisk thoroughly.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or tang by adding more honey or apple cider vinegar if desired.
  5. Cover the bowl or transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Serve chilled alongside crispy nuggets, sandwiches, or as a salad dressing base.
  7. Store leftover sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week, stirring before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Adjust honey and vinegar to taste for balance. Use fresh smoked paprika for best flavor. Chilling the sauce for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavor. Store in airtight container for up to one week. Can add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicy kick. Vegan substitutions include vegan mayo, maple syrup, and vegan barbecue sauce.
