This mouthwatering good six ingredient Southern Comeback Sauce lives up to its name. It will keep you coming back time and time again for more. It is a delicious condiment, but I also love to serve it as a dipping sauce with Beer Battered Onion Rings with Dipping Sauce and Air Fryer Chicken Wings (3 ways).
If you have never had this southern sauce, then I can assure you that you must try it. It takes less than five minutes to mix up, and it is delicious with fries, onion rings, chicken fingers, beer battered fish, fried shrimp, cocktail shrimp, fried green beans, and quesadillas. However, it really needs to come with a disclaimer that once you taste it, you will be addicted. This tasty sauce originated at a Greek restaurant named The Rotisserie in Jackson, Mississippi, as the house dressing.
How do you make Southern Comeback Sauce?
It really does not get any easier than this. Just grab a medium bowl and whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and honey. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to meld the flavors together.
What do you use Comeback Sauce on?
- Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and wraps
- Fried foods like french fries, shrimp, fish, onion rings, and chicken.
- Potato chips, tortilla chips, and pretzels
- Hot wings, fried wings, baked wings, chicken nuggets, and air fryer wings
- Baked chicken, fish, and pork
- Grilled steak, pork tenderloin, and brats
- Appetizers like southwest egg rolls, cream cheese wontons, fried okra, coconut shrimp, onion straws, and fried green beans. The list is only limited by your imagination.
So if you love a lip-smacking good dipping sauce or salad dressing then this baby is for you. Put the ingredients on your shopping list today. Your family and friends will be singing your praises and dipping up a storm.

Hey Beth,
I am going to make fried chicken and was looking for a dipping sauce. This is it!
Can I make this without hot sauce and do I need to add anything (not spicy) in its place?
Thank you!

Yes you can make it without the hot sauce. You do not need to substitute anything in its place.
