Sometimes the only way you make a scrumptious bite better is to add some sauce.

What would crispy chicken tenders be without a dipping sauce? They would be good, but still begging for a scrumptious dip to be plunged into. This sauce has only four ingredients, but the depth of flavor is truly spectacular. And it will keep in the fridge for repeated use for days and days! So good!

The Ingredients You Will Need

Since there are only four ingredients in this sauce, be sure to go with top-notch brands. Here’s what you’ll need to have on hand:

Dijon mustard – Regular Dijon is great, for a more distinct flavor, try stone ground or spicy brown.
Mayonnaise – Homemade is great, but a good-quality store-bought is perfectly fine.
Honey – Go with a good brand, if possible. It really makes a difference in the final taste and texture.
Paprika – Smoked adds a nice depth of flavor. Not overpowering, just flavorful.

    This sounds yummy, will definitely try it out. Assuming we don’t eat it all in one setting, how long will this sauce last in the refrigerator?
