Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Taste and adjust to your preferred level of spicy.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Taste and adjust! I always recommend tasting while cooking so you can get to know the dish and adjust the seasoning as you like best.
  • Start with high-quality mayonnaise - The main ingredient in this recipe is mayonnaise, so choose a high-quality brand or make your own at home. The mayo is a lot looser and pliable when at room temperature.
  • Avoid Lumps - Add spices and seasonings on top of the mayonnaise while mixing. This will help avoid lumps.
  • Allow flavors to meld - For best results, let your spicy mayonnaise sit for 15-20 minutes before using.
  • Short cut - with mayo, favorite hot sauce, and vinegar. Start with 1 tbsp hot sauce and ¼ tsp vinegar. Taste and adjust with more hot sauce as desired.
  • Too hot? Cool it off with a bit of sugar. Add 1 tsp of granulated white sugar at a time. You can also dilute the batch with more mayo until it’s more palatable.

Serve: with DIY Popeyes’ chicken sandwich, hot dogs, salads like potato salad, egg salads, and tuna salads, as a dip for french fries and chicken wings, or as a sandwich spread on BLT or a ham sandwiches.
Store: Store in a see-through, air-tight container or a glass bottle. When kept in the refrigerator, this sauce lasts 3-4 weeks. Freezing is not recommended.
