What Do You Need To Make Checkers Squawk Sauce

Ingredients

Fresh Garlic

Everything tastes better with a bit of garlic.

Besides its terrific health benefits, fresh garlic adds the perfect spicy flavor.

You can substitute garlic powder if you don’t have any garlic cloves on hand.

Mayonnaise

When it comes to mayo, nothing beats homemade for its creaminess and rich taste.

However, feel free to use your favorite brand. Also, you can substitute Miracle Whip for the mayonnaise if you want more tang.

Tomato Sauce

Adds the perfect sweet tomato flavor.

If you like a sweeter-tasting sauce, you can use ketchup instead of tomato sauce.

And if you want a deeper tomato taste, add a teaspoon of tomato paste.

Worcestershire Sauce

The perfect blend of savory and umami flavors.

Honey

Adds the perfect sweetness to balance out the spice.

Cayenne Pepper

Here comes the heat! Use as much or as little as you like.

Also, you can substitute different chilis, like jalapenos or habaneros, to change the spiciness.

Paprika

Adds more dimension to the flavors and deepens the color of your sauce.

For a smokey taste, use smoked paprika instead.

Salt and Pepper

The finishing touch to bring all the flavors together.

However, use sparingly, so you don’t over-season your sauce.

Equipment

• Cutting board and knife
• Non-reactive mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula

Other Things To Consider When Making Checkers Squawk Sauce

You Can Customize Your Sauce

This Checkers Squawk Sauce recipe makes a great base recipe for a variety of delicious sauces.

You can create new and delicious variations with just a few easy changes.

For example, use barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce for a more intense flavor that goes great with grilled chicken.

Or add a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce to kick up the heat.

If you like it tangy, substitute Miracle Whip for the mayonnaise.

And speaking of tang, a couple of teaspoons of your favorite mustard or vinegar will brighten the flavors.

Another great option is substituting your favorite steak sauce for the Worcestershire sauce for a savory burger sauce.

While adding pickle relish will give your sauce some texture, added flavor, and crunch.

I like to use smoked paprika instead of plain paprika for an intense smokey flavor that pairs well with grilled chicken and pork.

Add diced jalapenos, habaneros, or chipotle chilis for Southwestern heat.

While adding fresh herbs, like thyme and oregano, will add an elegant flavor to your sauce.

So go ahead and have fun and play around with the recipe. Who knows? You might discover a variation that tastes even better than the original.

Make More Than You Need!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to hear a lot of squawking.

And when I run out of Checkers Squawk sauce, well, you guessed it, that’s what I hear.

So that’s why I always make a double batch.

Not only does it stay fresh in the fridge for up to two weeks, but this delicious sauce will get better the longer it sits.

However, like most mayonnaise sauces, it doesn’t freeze well.

This sauce tastes great chilled, but if you like your sauce warm, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and you’re ready to go.
