HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE
- Combine ingredients in a small bowl and chill.
Notes
- The pickle juice makes these nuggets extra juicy. We don't recommend marinating them longer than 30 minutes though, because too much brine time can make them salty.
- The powdered sugar in the dry rub helps create a nice crust on the nuggets and balances out the seasonings.
- Make the dipping sauce skinny by using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise.
- We love using Suzie's organic yellow and dijon mustard for this recipe.
