Equipment

Ingredients

For Buttery Base & Creamy Texture:

  • 4 ounces of unsalted butter
  • 1 cup of creamy mayonnaise

Mustard Duo:

  • 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons of regular mustard

Spice and Flavor Infusion:

  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon of freshly ground cayenne pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of finely crushed onion powder
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon of spicy garlic B-dubs sauce

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, mustard, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper powder and dried parsley.
  • Mix everything together and let it cook for a few minutes until all of the ingredients are combined. Add garlic powder, spicy garlic B-dubs sauce, garlic cloves, brown sugar and black pepper to the pan and mix everything together.
  • Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in pickle juice. Let the sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure you use fresh garlic cloves for this recipe, as they will bring out more flavor than dried garlic.
  • You can adjust the heat level by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper powder you use. If you like your sauce to be extra spicy, add more!
  • If you don’t have pickle juice on hand, white vinegar also works well for this recipe.
  • This sauce pairs great with fried chicken, french fries and more!
