Dietary and flavor variations
- Cut the dairy. Use a vegan or plant based mayonnaise if you’d like this sauce to be dairy free.
- Add heat. Use extra hot chili sauce and amp it up with extra red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
- Add sweetness. For a sweet and spicy flavor, add a tablespoon of either honey or maple syrup.
- Lower the fat. Instead of using mayonnaise, swap it out for Greek yogurt.
Other ways to use this sauce
This sauce is so versatile, it works in a plethora of other ways.
We love to drizzle it over protein to jazz it up, like with chicken breast, chicken thighs, or even pork chops.
It works well as a sandwich spread, as a dressing for your favorite salad (we love it in a spinach salad), or something to dip your leftover pizza crusts in.
