Notes

– For the best flavor, allow the sauce to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully. – If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture. – Don’t over-whisk! Mix until just combined to maintain its creamy texture without thinning it too much. – This sauce is fantastic not only on chicken but also as a dip for fries, a spread for sandwiches, or even drizzled over roasted vegetables.
