If you love Sriracha, you’ll love this super easy recipe. Skip the expensive bottled varieties like Stonewall Kitchen and make your own instead!

It’s great as a dipping sauce, and you can spread it on your favorite sandwiches for a spicy kick. In fact, you can use it just like mayo whenever you want some extra zip.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Spicy Aioli

Sriracha Aioli ingredients on the counter.
  • Mayonnaise: This is the foundation for the aioli and creates the creaminess. Try to get real mayo instead of mayo alternatives. In a pinch you can use a thick Greek yogurt as a substitute.
  • Sriracha Sauce: This Asian hot sauce is made with chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. Huy Fong is my favorite brand, and you can find it in the Asian section at most supermarkets. Alternatively, you can order it online at Amazon.
  • Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice works best for this recipe.
  • Salt: There is already some salt in Sriracha and mayo, but you may want to add a pinch of fine salt to taste.
  • (Optional) Garlic: There’s already garlic in Sriracha, but if you love garlic then put a clove through a garlic press or mince finely. Don’t substitute garlic powder.

Sriracha Aioli Variations

  • Make it Vegan: Substitute with vegan mayo for a vegan sriracha aioli.
  • Non-spicy: If you want less heat, try substituting jalapeno, BBQ, pesto, ranch or gochujang.

Ways to Use Sriracha Mayo Aioli

Sriracha aioli goes with pretty much everything! Some of my favorite combinations include:

  • Serving it as a dipping sauce for French fries, potatoes or onion rings. It’s also fabulous with vegetables such as Brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower.
  • Spreading it on top of burgers, and it’s especially good on black bean burgers.
  • Pairing with seafood such as lobster, crab legs, crab cakes or fish tacos.
