Ingredient Notes

• Mayonnaise: Use full-fat mayonnaise for the creamiest texture. Light mayonnaise works too, but the sauce will be slightly thinner and tangier.
• Barbecue Sauce: Use a classic sweet and smoky barbecue sauce for the most familiar flavor. Avoid spicy or strongly flavored varieties unless you want to change the sauce’s flavor.
• Honey: Maple syrup can work in a pinch, but it will give the sauce a noticeably different flavor.
• Yellow Mustard: Use classic yellow mustard for the most authentic flavor. Or replace with Dijon mustard for a sharper flavor.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: A small amount cuts through the richness and brightens the sauce. Lemon juice is a good substitute and works well in many copycat versions.

Variations

• Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne, a splash of hot sauce, or a little chipotle powder.
• Extra smoky: Use a smoky barbecue sauce or add a tiny drop of liquid smoke.
• Tangier: Increase the mustard or apple cider vinegar slightly.
