Creamy mayo, combined with spicy Sriracha and a dash of chili power takes the word “sauce” to a new level! When it’s time to add a little something special to a sandwich, burger or you want an above-average dip, this is the sauce you need.

I think there’s nothing better than a big, juicy burger cooked over a flame. I love ’em topped with cheese and then, it’s time to build on that smokey flavor with something delicious. For me, it’s the sauce, which is always homemade. If I’m in the mood for something spicy, this sauce is my go-to.

Since these ingredients have some serious flavor powers, I keep things simple. Just three ingredients, that’s it! The real key to this spicy mayo is making sure you’ve got the right ratios for each ingredient.

Mayonnaise, hot sauce and chili powder for Spicy Mayo Sauce.

We all know how powerful Sriracha hot chili sauce is and how quickly it can overpower any dish. I like to keep the heat somewhere in the middle of the road with a layer of spice by adding a little bit of chili powder.

Ingredients For Spicy Mayo Sauce

  • Good Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha Hot Sauce
  • Chili Powder

Substitutions For This Recipe

If you don’t care for mayonnaise, you can substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt. Either are yummy in this recipe.

Once you’ve got your measurements right, just whisk them up and you are ready to enjoy.

How To Store Spicy Sauce

This easy-to-make, super yummy sauce can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. I like to keep it in a mason jar with a lid.

Please don’t think this sauce is just for burgers. That’s just one of the ways I love it but it’s also great as a dip for chicken, fish, and veggies…and don’t forget the fries or chips!

  • Air Fryer Potato Wedges
  • Sheet Pan Hamburger Steaks
  • Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken Sliders

    I made this for the first time last week. Let me say it won’t be the last time. Hubby is putting this on everything. Glad Mayo is usually on sale cause it looks like we’re going to need to hoard it! LOL
