Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat for best flavor)
  • 1/4 cup chili sauce (or ketchup for a milder flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (or more to taste for extra heat, optional)
  • 1/2 tsp hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot or Tabasco, or to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients.
  2. Mix everything well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For the best taste, use full-fat mayonnaise. Adjust the cayenne pepper and hot sauce to your preferred spice level. Letting the sauce chill for a longer time will enhance the flavors even more. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week; stir before using.
