How to Store It

The sauce will last for at least a week if stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It is made of mostly processed ingredients, so it keeps fairly well. (If you use homemade mayonnaise, it may not last as long.) Stir before each use.

Recipe Variations

Make it SPICY. Add more sriracha and about 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne to make the sauce really spicy.
Use Garlic Chili Sauce instead of Sriracha Sauce for a tasty spin on this fun sauce.
Make Vegan Boom Boom Sauce by using vegan mayonnaise.
Add a pinch of curry powder to the sauce. It sounds weird, I know. But it is actually delicious.
Make Salad Dressing - Thin some sauce by whisking it with milk or buttermilk until it is the consistency of dressing. The spice and tang of the sauce, with just a little bit of sweetness, make for an amazing salad dressing - especially if you make a salad topped with diced bacon and chopped-up chicken tenders. Give it a try - your taste buds will thank you ;)
