Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use something besides mayonnaise for the sauce?

Sure, greek yogurt would be a fantastic alternative.

Will I be able to freeze the sauce?

Mayonaisse does not freeze very well. I do not recommend freezing this one. Trust me, we make a double batch often because it goes fast. This is my familys favorite sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Try serving with Baked Chicken Leg Quarters, that would be an awesome pairing with the crispy exterior of the chicken.

Dip some bacon-wrapped chicken in this sauce for a flavor-packed combo.

Change up the toppings on this Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger with this sauce for a tasty meal.

This is an awesome sauce with baked chicken breasts, baked Parmesan chicken tenders,
