Honey Mustard Sauce 'Copycat' Recipes (Bennigan's, TGI Friday's)

[gbrice75]

I know this belongs in the recipe sub-forum, but nobody ever looks there. If it's an issue, i'll have it moved.

I made this tonight and used it to dip Baseline's crispy cornflake chicken recipe w/ cajun spice rub mixed in with the cornflakes. EPIC!!!

I'll list 2 different (but similar) recipes. I have used both in the past, but used the Bennigan's one tonight with Baseline's chicken. Granted, neither of these are the best in terms of 'health' food, but if you use it sparingly it won't make or break your diet. If you can figure it into your macros, even better:

Bennigan's Version:

3/4 cup sour cream (I used fat free sour cream)
1/3 cup mayo (if you can stand low-fat mayo, go for it. I can't, so I used Hellman's regular mayo)
1/3 cup dijon mustard (I used Guldens spicy brown mustard)
1/3 cup honey (yea yea, sugar, I know)
1tbsp + 1tsp lemon juice

Mix it all together and enjoy! If you use fat free sour cream, there are no real worries there - a bit of carbs and some protein. Mayo is the biggest concern here with the fat content, but you're using 1/3rd of a cup for the whole recipe. Dip sparingly and relax.

TGI Friday's Version:

1/2 cup sour cream (again, use fat free)
1/2 cup mayo
2tbsp mustard
4tbsp honey
1tbsp white vinegar

Mix and enjoy. This one is obviously a bit heavier on the mayo, therefore higher in fat. However with 4tbsp of honey, it's lower in sugar. Basically 6 of one and half dozen of the other, take your pick!

may have to try. there is a mayo that i found that has nothing in it! it is from walden farms (i think), it has zero everything.

U mastered the chicken in cornflakes thing then???

Sounds good bro...

Might make mensome Mayo for my fat sources next week and take a few fish caps out here and there, nice for a change...

Egg yolk and EVOO is all you need to make the best Mayo is the world... And IMO a good fat source, ESP if u use omega eggs.

u right base, never thought of taking the time to make my own mayo

u right base, never thought of taking the time to make my own mayo

I always make my own garlic and lemon Mayo for dinner parties as a dip... It goes down a treat, people will be fighting to lick the bowl LOL

You cannot be home made chips with home made garlic Mayo... Damammamamm

And there is no excuse to not make ur own... It is so quick and simple and I bet u throw out a lot of yolks anyway If ur a BB

[RaginCajun]

so right about the yolks, i threw 3 out this morning!
