Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons ketchup, and 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce. These form the base of the sauce, creating a creamy and tangy mix.
- Add 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce to the mixture. This is where the magic happens, as it introduces a delightful heat that will elevate the taste.
- Next, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. These spices will enhance the overall flavor, adding depth and richness to the sauce.
- Season your mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste the blend and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring it meets your preference.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth. You want a uniform texture without any lumps. Look for a creamy consistency that’s easy to drizzle or dip.
- Once combined, taste your sauce. If you think it needs more heat, feel free to add a dash more of the sriracha sauce. This sauce is all about personal preference!
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld together and develop a richer taste.
- After the waiting period, take your Boom Boom Sauce out of the fridge. Give it a good stir before serving to reintegrate any ingredients that may have settled.
- Serve your sauce with your favorite dishes, like grilled chicken, veggie sticks, or even on burgers. You’ll find it enhances everything!
