Why barbecue mayo belongs on the menu
Mixing barbecue sauce with mayonnaise is a well-known burger trick: mayo brings creaminess, barbecue brings a smoky-sweet taste, and the result rescues a bland or dry burger. With liquid sauces the mix changes from batch to batch; Barbecue sauce powder gives one fixed dose by the gram.
The recipe step by step
- Weigh cold mayonnaise, e.g. 1 kg.
- Weigh 75 g barbecue sauce powder per 1 kg mayonnaise.
- Blend until the colour is completely even.
- Serve in sandwiches or delivery cups straight away.
| Mayonnaise | Powder |
|---|---|
| 1 kg | 75 g |
| 5 kg | 375 g |
| 10 kg | 750 g |
One kilo of powder covers about 13 kg of mayonnaise.
Where to use it
- Burgers and smash burgers.
- Wings and ribs, as a dip or topping.
- Wraps and sandwiches.
- Barbecue pizza.
- BBQ chicken skewers made with BBQ shish tawook seasoning.
Common mistakes
- Mixing with a spoon: the powder spreads unevenly, so one bite is strong and the next is mild. A blender fixes it in seconds.
- Adding extra powder by eye: the weighed dose keeps smoky, sweet and creamy in balance. If you want a stronger taste for one item, test a small batch first and write the number on the recipe card.
- Every cook making it their own way: post the dose next to the blender so the morning sauce matches the evening sauce.
BBQ mayo and classic burger sauce
Many restaurants serve both. Classic burger sauce is made with Mayonnaise seasoning (5 g per 100 g mayonnaise); barbecue mayo goes on items that need a clearer smoky taste, such as BBQ burgers and wings. Both are prepared the same way, mayonnaise plus powder plus mixing, so offering both costs the kitchen almost no extra work. In delivery and cloud kitchens, this one-step preparation lets the team mix what it needs minutes before the rush and fill every cup with the same taste.
Tips for the same taste every time
Use cold mayonnaise and a blender, weigh rather than scoop, and prepare only what the shift will use; the powder itself stores without refrigeration before mixing. For a house sauce, blend it into mayonnaise made with Egg yolk powder. Available in 1 kg packs and 15 and 25 kg sacks.
