Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup ketchup. Use a spoon or whisk to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Add Seasonings: Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the spices evenly throughout the sauce.
Chill to Develop Flavor: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a richer taste.
Serve Chilled: Once chilled, serve the cane sauce cold as a delicious dipping option for chicken fingers, fries, or sandwiches. Stir lightly before serving if separation occurs.

Notes

For best flavor, prepare the sauce a few hours ahead or even the day before serving to allow maximum flavor melding.
Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your preference for spiciness.
Keep the sauce covered and refrigerated; it will keep fresh for up to 3 days.
This sauce can also be used as a spread on burgers or wraps.
