A bit of history

Wing sauces have a fascinating history. Over time, they have evolved from a simple combination of oil and vinegar to complex recipes that include mayonnaise, ketchup, and various spices. This specific sauce that I will present today blends classic and modern flavors, offering a refined taste that will delight anyone's taste buds.

Step by step

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by accurately measuring the ingredients. Make sure you have a quality mayonnaise on hand, preferably homemade. The taste of freshly made mayonnaise is incomparable, providing a creamy texture and rich flavor.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise and ketchup. Use a spatula or whisk to combine them well. Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth texture.

3. Adding the lemon juice: Squeeze the juice from the 3 lemon slices directly into the mayonnaise and ketchup mixture. The lemon will add a note of freshness and balance the flavor of the sauce.

4. The garlic: Add the 3 crushed cloves of garlic. Fresh garlic will provide an intense and aromatic flavor. If you're a garlic fan, you can add even more, but be careful not to overwhelm the other flavors.

5. Seasoning: Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper and a pinch of hot mustard. These spices will intensify the flavor of the sauce, making it spicier and more aromatic.

6. Final mixing: Use the spatula to mix all the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous sauce. Taste the sauce and adjust it according to your preferences. If you like it tangier, you can add more lemon juice.

7. Refrigeration: Let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to combine and intensify.

Practical tips
