Copycat Zax Sauce
Description
This homemade Copycat Zax Sauce blends smooth mayonnaise with ketchup and a dash of garlic powder, producing a base that is creamy with a mild tang. Adding Worcestershire sauce introduces complexity and a subtle savory depth, while coating the surface with black pepper multiple times layers the sauce with noticeable peppery heat and aroma.
After mixing, refrigerating the sauce for at least two hours allows the flavors to blend fully. The result is a rich, creamy sauce with spicy pepper undertones that complements fried foods, particularly chicken fingers and fries, similar to the well-known restaurant recipe it emulates.
The preparation is straightforward, requiring no cooking, and can be made in advance. The pepper layering technique provides a distinctive texture and flavor punch that sets it apart from basic mayo-ketchup blends.
