How to make the best chicken finger dipping sauce

Here's how to make our favorite easy recipe. No artificial ingredients here!

Ingredients

• Mayonnaise - this is what gives you the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Ketchup - gives the sauce just the right amount of tang.
• Garlic powder - for a hit of nutty spice.
• Black pepper - to add a slight bitterness (or we like to say prickle) to make sure the other ingredients aren't too rich.
• Cholula hot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce) - depending on how much you use, this gives the sauce a little spice.
• Worcestershire sauce - the secret ingredient that brings the sauce together.

 You can find measurements in the recipe card. 

Instructions

• Mix mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Add in the remaining ingredients a little at a time so you can adjust to your taste preference.
  Pro Tip: Add more hot sauce if you like a spicier flavor.
• Serve with chicken fingers or nuggets or place in the refrigerator for later use.

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container for a couple of weeks, and get it out whenever you want to snack on your favorite finger foods.
