Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • medium bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, ¾ cup barbecue sauce, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, and ½ teaspoon paprika.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired, adding more chipotle for extra kick.
  4. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Notes

– For best flavor, let the sauce chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving; this allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
– I found that using a good quality mayonnaise makes a noticeable difference in the overall creaminess and richness of the sauce, so don’t skimp there.
– If you prefer a milder sauce, start with half the chipotle powder and add more to taste.
