Everyone loves a good dipping sauce, and this one is a total favorite in my house. It has that perfect mix of creamy mayo, sweet honey, and a little tang from the vinegar. It makes any plate of chicken or fries feel a lot more special.

The secret to getting the best flavor is letting it sit for a little while before you serve it. This gives the ingredients time to blend together. It is so much better than the packets you get at the drive thru.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

4Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a small mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, and apple cider vinegar.

  2. 2

    Whisk everything together until the sauce is completely smooth and one color.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  4. 4

    Stir it once more before serving it alongside your favorite chicken or fries.

Tips

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container or a small jar in the fridge for up to one week. If you like things a little spicier, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or a tiny bit of garlic powder.
