Ingredients
Dipping Sauce Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cholula hot sauce, or favorite hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup ketchup, ½ teaspoon garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper. Stir thoroughly to blend the base of the sauce evenly.
- Add Heat and Depth: Mix in 1 teaspoon Cholula hot sauce (or your preferred hot sauce) for a spicy kick, followed by ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, which adds a subtle depth and umami flavor.
- Mix Well: Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and uniform in color and texture.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly before serving with chicken fingers or nuggets.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to tailor the spiciness to your liking.
- For a thicker sauce, use full-fat mayonnaise; for a lighter version, try light mayo.
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangier variation.
