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.
