PDQ Sauce is a popular sauce known for its unique flavor, often used as a dipping sauce for chicken. The recipe for PDQ Sauce is somewhat of a closely guarded secret, but it's generally known to be a creamy, tangy sauce with a blend of flavors.
In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.
Pour in 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix well until everything is smooth and evenly distributed.
Add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Stir until the spices are fully integrated into the sauce.
Taste the sauce and add salt and black pepper according to your preference. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Use the PDQ Sauce as a dip for chicken tenders, fries, or veggies, or spread it on sandwiches and burgers.
Notes
The mayonnaise is the base of the sauce, so using a high-quality brand will make a noticeable difference in the flavor and texture.
