What Do You Need To Make Jack In the Box Good Good Sauce?

Ingredients

Fresh Garlic

Garlic intensifies the flavor of the sauce.

Feel free to add as much as you like. To save time, you can substitute a teaspoon of garlic powder.

Fresh Onion

I recommend using a white onion for this recipe, but if you like a more intense flavor, you can substitute a red onion or a teaspoon of onion powder.

Mayonnaise

Homemade is always best, but feel free to use your favorite store-bought brand.

If you like a tangier sauce, you can substitute Miracle Whip.

Ketchup

Adds the right amount of rich tomato flavor and sweetness.

You can substitute tomato sauce for the ketchup or add a tablespoon of tomato paste for more tomato flavor.

White Vinegar

Gives your sauce some tang.

Feel free to substitute other kinds of vinegar or even fresh lemon juice.

Honey

Gives the sauce more sweetness and balances the tomato and vinegar flavors.

You can substitute molasses instead of honey if you prefer a richer flavor.

Yellow Mustard

Adds another dimension of tanginess. Feel free to substitute different mustards, like Dijon or whole grain, to change the flavor.

Worcestershire Sauce

Adds a touch of savory goodness.

Paprika

Adds a touch of exotic spice and deepens the color.

Feel free to use smoked paprika if you want a smokier-tasting sauce.

Cayenne Pepper

Adds the perfect amount of heat.

Feel free to substitute different chiles, like chipotle or habanero, or a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce.

Salt and Black Pepper

I recommend using coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Salt helps unlock the other flavors, but be sure you taste it so you don’t over-season your sauce.

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Non-reactive mixing bowl
  • Whisk

How To Make Jack In The Box Good Good Sauce

Step Five: Allow your sauce to chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to give time for the flavors to develop.
