While I was rummaging through my fridge for sauces to dunk my homemade baked chicken nuggets in, I realized the one sauce I really wanted was one that I didn’t have—Honey Mustard Sauce. Luckily, homemade honey mustard sauce takes only a few minutes to whip up and only requires simple pantry staples. This quick Honey Mustard Sauce was so tangy, creamy, sweet, and delicious that I couldn’t stop licking my spoon! Luckily I saved some for my chicken nuggets. :)

What is in Honey Mustard Sauce?

Honey mustard sauce is the most incredible sweet, tangy, and creamy sauce made from simple ingredients like honey, mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, and a couple spices. It takes only a few minutes to make and can be used several ways. Once you make a batch you’ll likely want to smear a little sauce on just about everything!

How to Serve:

This week I used it as a dip for my Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets, but it also works great as:

  • a dip for fresh vegetables
  • a spread for wraps and sandwiches
  • Honey Mustard Broccoli Salad
  • dressing for chicken salad
  • dressing for green salads
  • a glaze or sauce for grilled or roasted meats

How to Store:

This tasty sauce should definitely be stored in the refrigerator. I don’t suggest keeping the sauce for more than 4-5 days, so make sure you adjust your batch size to the amount you plan on using. This recipe yields about 3/4 cup honey mustard sauce, but the quantity can be adjusted in the “servings” box in the recipe below. All of the ingredients will auto adjust with the change in servings.

  1. This actually tastes like Chic-Fil-A™ sauce. I did a blind test on my kid and they thought they were the same. Just needs a little bit of smoke and it would be impossible to tell the difference.

  2. This was OUTSTANDING! When I first read comments about it tasting so good you’ll be licking the spoon and so forth, I thought, ‘not me.’ But, man, was I wrong. I did lick the spoon! No more store bought honey mustard for me. This will be my go to. I had everything needed without going to the store and it was fast to whisk up a batch. Love it!

  3. Very nice flavor. Not too sweet. I liked the flavor of using 2 different mustards. Don’t fo6to use the salt and pepper. It finished it off.
