Tips for Making Dill Sauce for Chicken
- Use fresh dill. Fresh dill has a more intense flavor than dried dill, so it's worth the extra effort to find it. If you can't find fresh dill, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill per tablespoon of fresh dill.
- Chop the dill finely. This will help the dill to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the sauce.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will have a smooth, rich flavor. Avoid using Miracle Whip, as it has a sweeter flavor that can overpower the dill.
- Gradually add the dill to the mayonnaise. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. You can also add a touch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Dill sauce is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion
Dill sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on chicken, fish, or vegetables. It's also a great dipping sauce for appetizers. The dill adds a bright, fresh flavor to the sauce, while the mayonnaise makes it creamy and rich. If you're looking for a new sauce to try, dill sauce is a great option.
