Made this to go with your air fryer chicken nugget recipe. The nuggets were great but this sauce was the 5 star of the show. My mom, who rarely uses condiments, thought it so good she refilled the dipping sauce on her plate three times and couldn’t stop commenting on how good it was. I forgot to add the lemon juice so I expect it will be 6 stars next time I make it!
Easy, quick and super simple to tweak if you like it more tangy like me or more sweet like my kid!
I used half regular and half dijon and it was perfect!!

Pretty good, but I added more mayo because the Dijon was overwhelming.
This is a great recipe! Tried others, this is the best.
What is the shelf life in the fridge?
It will last about a week in the fridge!
Could I use white vinegar if I don’t have lemon juice?
That works!
I LOVE this recipe, seriously obsessed and so easy to make. I’ve tried both and actually prefer to use regular mustard instead of Dijon (less strong mustard flavor). I eat it often with the Tyson crispy chicken tenders and it’s perfection.

Delicious! Better than other simple honey mustard recipes I have tried. The proportions are right, and the lemon makes a difference!
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that you liked it!
Delicious! We didn’t have Dijon, so we used regular yellow mustard. It was still delicious!
We LOVE honey mustard, I did not have any Dijon but yellow mustard works well, also did not have paprika, so without the paprika it was still good!! Thanx for the awesome recipe much ❤️
We love ‘Honey Mustard’ on many things around here, so I’m glad to be able to quickly whip up my own, whenever needed. SO easy, & I always have the ingredients on hand. Thank you.
