📝 Ingredient notes:
- Mayonnaise - I use a full-fat mayo and love to use Duke's but use the mayonnaise that your family loves.
- BBQ-Sauce - for this recipe I used a store-brand barbecue sauce.
- Mustard - yellow mustard is used in this copycat recipe. See the substitutions for other options.
- Honey - I will always advocate using local honey because you are supporting a local beekeeper as well as being sure that it is pure honey.
- Lemon juice - bottled lemon juice is what I used for this recipe. I would say that fresh is not called for like it is in my lemonade popsicles.
🔄 Substitutions
Everyone likes to make their fry sauce their own with a special twist. Your special twist could be switching out dijon mustard or whole grain mustard for the yellow mustard. BUT plain yellow mustard is more authentic.
