Recipe Tips:
- Feel free to adjust the flavors based on your preference. So, if you like it smokier, use some liquid smoke.
- Any type of mayo will work just great. You can even use vegan mayo.
- Also, additional spices can be added, such as paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Similarly, any honey type will work. But if you are looking for a milder taste, go with wildflower honey.
- Prior to serving, I highly recommend storing the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This way the flavors combine together and the texture is just right.
