Easy Honey Mustard recipe for a sweet tangy sauce perfect for appetizers, sandwiches, and marinades. Made in minutes with 4 ingredients! 

If you love Honey Mustard, you know that it’s more than just a condiment. It’s great as salad dressing, as a marinade, and as a sauce for the three best kinds of chicken: Chicken Nuggets, Chicken Tenders, and my favorite Super Crispy Fried Chicken.

My Honey Mustard recipe is ridiculously easy because it basically has one step. All you have to do is mix everything together in a small bowl. Honey Mustard shouldn’t have to be harder than that to make and it shouldn’t be a sauce you run out to buy last minute. This recipe makes the most crave-able honey mustard ever.

The great thing about making your own homemade Honey Mustard sauce is that you can customize the flavor to get the overall taste you’re craving. You can also drizzle your Honey Mustard on pretty much everything in your cookbook, from veggies to fried food, and it’s one of those easy recipes that you’ll want to use over and over again. This Honey Mustard sauce is the perfect addition to your weeknight dinner or fancy party.

If you’re looking for a delicious homemade sauce to use the next time you make Honey Mustard BBQ Chicken or Baked Honey Mustard Chicken, this is the perfect homemade honey mustard for your recipe!

VARIATIONS ON HONEY MUSTARD 

  • Spices: If you want to add a little more zing to your Honey Mustard, try mixing in some cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, or even a pinch of paprika.
  • Whole grain honey mustard: Instead of using dijon mustard, swap it out for whole grain mustard so you get the pop of the pickled mustard seeds in your honey mustard dressing.

HOW LONG IS HOMEMADE HONEY MUSTARD GOOD?

  • Serve: You should not keep Honey Mustard at room temperature due to the mayo in it. Don’t leave it out for longer than 2 hours.
  • Store: Your homemade Honey Mustard will last you up to 3 weeks in the fridge as long as it is stored in an airtight container.
  • Freeze: You shouldn’t freeze this Honey Mustard sauce because the mayo in it won’t thaw well. You should enjoy your Honey Mustard fresh or straight from the fridge.
