What Is Awesome Sauce?
Is it an expression that people use to add another level to the word “awesome”, or is it a sauce that’s truly mind blowing?
The short answer is – it’s both.
So is there is actually an Awesome Sauce recipe…like is it not just a saying…but is it an actual thing? Some people call the McDonald’s signature sauce recipe “awesome sauce,” but there didn’t seem to be much on Google for how to make awesome sauce at home. So it got me thinking.
I should totally come up with a dipping sauce recipe to go along with this phrase, but it does obviously need to be awesome.
Awesome in flavor for sure, but also awesome in the sense that it can be used for so many different things like steak or chicken or fish or french fries or sandwiches.
Ok I’ll stop there but you get the idea.
I have to admit, I used to be a TOTAL non-condiment guy.
I mean, I’d watch people eat a perfectly good steak and dip it in hollandaise or a red wine steak sauce of some sort and think what the actual *!#@ are they doing?
But as we make more things here on the site I have experienced more and more things I like covered in tasty sauce. Like these Honey Mustard Pulled Pork Taquitos,or this Sheet Pan Chicken Murphy.
Both recipes I love and wouldn’t be the same without the tasty sauces that are what make those recipes.
One of my catch phrases these days is actually “the sauce makes this recipe”. Christie thinks it’s funny for me, the non-condiment guy, because I’ll still go out to eat and order a burger with nothing on it.
Old habits die hard, my friends.
Is Awesome Sauce Easy To Make?
Now I have to tell you…this dipping sauce recipe is EASY. Just get all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.
Nothing complicated here.
Can You Make This Dipping Sauce Ahead Of Time?
Absolutely! And you should. The flavors in this sauce recipe are going to blend together as they sit in the refrigerator for a while so it just gets better.
So even if you’re making it for a meal right away, try and give the sauce at least an hour in the refrigerator before you need it.
Now brace yourselves, I’m about to blow your minds. Because the other awesome thing about this sauce recipe is that it’s good cold or warm.
YES! Warm or cold. Or even just at room temperature! Also chilling the sauce will combine the flavors more, but I’m telling you. Right out of the bowl after you mix it will do just fine.
Make a big batch, eat it cold from the fridge or warm it up a little in the microwave and use it for a steak…or whatever else you can think of.
How Long Does This Sauce Keep?
This Awesome Sauce recipe is going to keep in your fridge for about a week, but it never lasts that long at my house so expiration time isn’t really an issue.

Our Side of S'Awesome Sauce combines the creaminess of ranch dressing, smoky barbeque, a kick of hot sauce, a hint of honey mustard and a dash of Worcestershire that perfectly complements the savory flavors of our Classic Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich.
Whether you're working with breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or wings, pat the meat dry. This is especially important for skin-on chicken or marinated pieces, as this can help sauce to stay put. Applying a rub can also be useful, much like working with a thicker sauce.
Awesomesauce apparently originated, or at least was popularized by, the Flash-based internet cartoon Homestar Runner. The origin of "awesome sauce" is probably from Strong Bad, although in that case, he refers to a cleaning product with the trade name of Awesome Sauce.
It's similar to a classic burger sauce but is a little more complex and layered in flavor, with just a bit of kick. It's not too sassy but it has a nice heat and a good tang. Who knew a sauce could have all of these things going for it and only take 5 minutes to make!
The Wendy's Big Bacon Classic Triple Burger may be the worst thing on the menu, with 1,220 calories in just one sandwich. And don't forget about the 36 grams of saturated fat— or 163% of the recommended daily value (DV) of just 22 grams per day—and 10% of your daily calories.
As of October 2021, the sauce has been removed from the Wendy's menu. We need this sauce back — the tangy, smoky flavor is a delight to the tastebuds and a gem lost to the endless tide of new flavors. Bring back S'awesome Sauce, the best sauce.
Butter and other saturated fats (i.e. bacon fat or even chicken fat) will do wonders to "bind" sauces to chicken. Among other reasons, it's partly because saturated fat is solid at room temperature and still fairly viscous at moderately higher temperatures.
However, there's a simple technique that can help the maximum amount of sauce coat every inch of the wing's surface area: Dusting chicken wings with flour before cooking. This easy step transforms the wings into a canvas that both promotes a crispy texture and ensures that the sauce clings irresistibly to every inch.
Use one tablespoon cornstarch mixed with one tablespoon cold water (aka a cornstarch slurry) for each cup of medium-thick sauce. Thoroughly mix the cornstarch and water together, then pour into your sauce. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
The earliest known use of the adjective awesomesauce is in the 2000s. OED's earliest evidence for awesomesauce is from 2001, in Re: Shadowy Men in Taco Bell Ad!. awesomesauce is formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: awesome adj., sauce n.
Provides useful Anti - Oxidants and Anti - inflammatory:
The capsaicin in chillies have high levels of anti- oxidants and anti-inflammatories. So your regular dose of hot sauce can help you to reduce blood pressure level, cure arthritis, fight migraines and joint pain.
Steak sauce is not only great with steak, but is also versatile enough to be used as a marinade, a basting sauce for roasting, or as a flavorful addition to burgers. A little known trick is to add it to your vegetable stir-fry or grilled vegetables for an unexpected depth of flavor.
