McDonald's Honey Mustard Sauce Complete Information

A McDonald's Honey Mustard Sauce costs $0.37 a pot and carries 60 calories. A zesty dijon base with honey, and reliably the sauce that wins informal polls about the McDonald's card.

It occupies useful middle ground: sweeter than the $0.35 Spicy Buffalo, sharper than the $0.39 Sweet 'N Sour, and creamy without being as heavy as the 110 calorie Creamy Ranch. At 60 calories it is on the lighter half of the card. The dijon is what does the work, since honey alone would make it cloying against breaded chicken. It also happens to be one of the few sauces that suits a burger as readily as a nugget. Pair it with McCrispy Strips, a 4 piece Chicken McNuggets, or Small French Fries.

Health Insight

At 60 calories, this one is on the lighter side of the menu.

How to Make a Honey Mustard Sauce at Home?

Two real ingredients and a balance problem. Too much honey and it turns into a dessert sauce; too much dijon and it stops being honey mustard at all. The ratio below is the one that lands closest.

Tips

  • Dijon, not English or American mustard. It is the only one with the right acidity for this.
  • Equal parts mustard and honey by volume is the ratio worth remembering.
  • Rest it. Straight after mixing the mustard is harsh and the honey is separate.

Variations

  • Add a teaspoon of hot sauce for a spicy honey mustard.
  • Use wholegrain mustard for texture, though it will not look like the original.
  • Swap half the honey for maple syrup for a version that suits breakfast items.

Serve cold with nuggets, strips or fries. A restaurant pot is $0.37 and this batch makes eight.
