Tzatziki Sauce

July 15, 2022

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Although this is a Mediterranean staple, we love to have Tzatziki sauce on hand at all times. Simple ingredients combined with simple cooking steps makes it easy to whip this up in minutes.

Kitchen tools you might need.

I like to keep things simple and throw everything in a mini food processor like this one. But can also whip things up by hand. Be sure to have a good airtight container to keep your sauce fresh for as long as possible.

Try it out with our Greek Chicken Kabob recipe.

Tzatziki Sauce

This easy tzatziki recipe is great with all of your summer grilling recipes. Light, airy and full of fresh herbs. It goes great with meat or veggies!

PSA: Once you make this homemade Play-Doh, there’s PSA: Once you make this homemade Play-Doh, there’s no going back to the store-bought stuff 😄 It’s taste-safe, soft, and super satisfying to make with your littles!

I followed the viral recipe, but quick note: I found that 1 cup of flour wasn’t enough—it was too wet for me so I needed to add more. 

Below is my adjusted recipe

INSTRUCTIONS:
1️⃣ In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix well.
2️⃣ Add the oil and mix again.
3️⃣ Add a few drops of food coloring to your boiling water and pour it into the dry mix.
4️⃣ Mix everything together and knead it with your hands once it cools slightly—add a little more flour if needed until the dough isn’t sticky.

🫙 Storage Tip: Let dough cool completely, wrap in plastic, and store in an airtight container at room temp. Lasts up to 6 months!

Or maybe it’s called Apricot Sweet & Spicy Chicken Or maybe it’s called Apricot Sweet & Spicy Chicken 🍗🔥, choose one. 

This chicken is sticky, savory, and has the perfect balance of sweet heat.

I used thighs and drumsticks, seasoned them generously, and roasted them until golden and crispy. But the real magic? That apricot glaze.

It’s buttery, bold, and made with jam, mustard, hot sauce, and ginger paste. I poured it right over the crispy chicken and let it soak in. SO good.

This one’s going on repeat.

Full recipe:
Seasoning Mix:
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1 tbsp garlic powder
– 1 tbsp onion powder
– 1 tbsp smoked paprika
– 1 tbsp ground mustard
– 1 tbsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp ginger paste
– 1 tsp crushed red pepper
– Salt to taste

Bake: Chicken thighs + drumsticks at 400°F until internal temp reaches 165°F.

Apricot Glaze:
– 2 tbsp butter
– 1 small jar apricot jam
– 1 tbsp yellow mustard
– 1 tbsp hot sauce
– 1 tbsp ginger paste

Melt butter, mix in sauce ingredients, simmer, then pour over the cooked chicken. That’s it!

Would you try this? Save it for dinner this week.
