Ingredients

1 cup mayo
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
Juice from 1/2 lime
1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions

Add the mayo, BBQ sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and paprika to a medium mixing bowl. Make sure all ingredients are measured evenly for a smooth and balanced flavor.
Whisk everything together thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and fully combined. The color should turn into a rich orange-brown with no streaks remaining.
Taste the sauce and adjust as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or extra BBQ sauce for a smokier flavor. If you prefer more tang, add an extra squeeze of lime juice.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend together and slightly thickens the sauce.
Serve chilled with chicken tenders, fries, burgers, wraps, or sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
