This easy good good sauce recipe copies the Jack in the Box favorite in 5 minutes. Creamy, sweet, tangy, and spicy, with pro tips and tasty variations.
Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Airtight jar or container
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha or hot sauce, to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional add-ins:
- 1 tsp ketchup for a slightly richer tomato note
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika for a smoky twist
- 1 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard for extra tang
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients. In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, white vinegar, honey, and sriracha. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. If using any optional add-ins like ketchup, paprika, or mustard, add them now.
- Whisk until smooth. Whisk everything together until the sauce is completely smooth and well combined. Make sure the honey is fully blended in with no streaks.
- Taste and adjust. Taste the sauce and adjust to your preference, adding more honey for sweetness, more vinegar for tang, or more sriracha for heat.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop and meld.
- Serve. Serve chilled as a dip or spread. Use immediately or store in the fridge.
Notes
- Chill the sauce for at least an hour before serving, since this is the key step that lets the flavors blend and deepen.
- Taste and adjust as you go, since the magic of this sauce is the balance between sweet honey, tangy vinegar, and spicy sriracha.
- Use full-fat, good-quality mayonnaise for the creamiest, richest result.
- For a milder, kid-friendly version, reduce or skip the sriracha. For more heat, increase it or add a pinch of cayenne.
- Swap white vinegar for apple cider vinegar for a slightly different, fruitier tang.
