This simple and quick 3-ingredient honey mustard sauce is deliciously easy to make.
Similar to the popular Chick-fil-A brand, this DIY honey mustard dipping sauce is an easy homemade version that can be made sweet or spicy.
Use it as a sandwich spread, a salad dressing, or as a classic dip for nuggets, wings, or even fries.
Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: This honey mustard is a creamy blend of tangy mustard, sweet honey, and smooth mayonnaise, creating a perfectly balanced, zesty, and rich flavor.
- Difficulty: This is so easy, just mix a few ingredients and it’s ready for serving.
- Serving suggestions: This multi-purpose sauce is great for dipping, dunking, and dressing.
Ingredients and Variations
Mayonnaise: Full-fat mayonnaise delivers a creamy consistency and flavor, but a no-mayo version can be made using sour cream or even Greek yogurt.
Mustard: This recipe is made with yellow mustard, which gives it that bright, tangy flavor. But feel free to experiment with Dijon, stone ground mustard, or even Chinese hot mustard.
Honey: Honey gives the sauce its signature sweetness but maple syrup will add a different depth of flavor. For a sugar-free honey mustard sauce, use Lakanto or monk fruit syrup instead and adjust for preference.
What Does Honey Mustard Go With?
- This is great for dipping chicken strips, chicken tenders, or nuggets.
- Brush it on chicken drumsticks for a delicious main course. For chicken pieces, brush with honey mustard sauce and bake, barbecue, or air fry.
- Sweet potato fries or tater tots make fun dippers. And for healthier dippables, try oven-roasted asparagus or cauliflower, or brush the sauce on a fresh piece of oven-baked corn.
Leftover Dip?
It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
Freeze honey mustard sauce in ice cube trays and pop out a cube or two to add to a stir fry or mix into a potato salad. For a thicker spread to use on burgers, sandwiches, or wraps, mix honey mustard sauce with a bit of cream cheese.
