Method
-
Whisk the mayonnaise and honey together in a small bowl until glossy and completely smooth.
-
Add the barbecue sauce, mustard and lemon juice and whisk again until the color is an even golden orange.
-
Dust in the smoked paprika and stir it through.
-
Taste: add a little more honey for sweetness or a squeeze more lemon for tang, half a teaspoon at a time.
-
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour so it thickens slightly and the smoke comes through.
Tips for a closer clone
- Warm a stiff honey for 10 seconds in the microwave so it blends in without leaving threads.
- Smoky barbecue sauce matters more than the brand: a very sweet one turns this into plain honey mustard.
- Serve it cold with fried chicken strips or nuggets; it also works as a burger spread.

About this dupe
UK and US
Every ingredient is on British shelves too. Pick a smoky barbecue sauce rather than a sweet or hickory-heavy one, and use mild American-style mustard: English mustard would take over.
vs the original
On the menu in the US (menu status reviewed Oct 14, 2026). The chain has opened a small number of UK restaurants, but we have not been able to confirm the UK menu, so we list the sauce as US only. Dipping sauces are not priced on their own in our data, so there is no savings line.
What it costs: ingredient costs are estimates for the amount used, from supermarket listing prices checked on Oct 14, 2026 (Target.com in the US, Trolley.co.uk for UK supermarkets). Prices vary by store and week.
