TGI Friday's Dragon Glaze Recipe

TGI Friday's Dragon Glaze packs a punch with the right mix of sweetness, heat, and a deep caramelized finish!
The balance of honey and soy sauce gives it that signature sticky texture, but reducing it just enough is what brings everything together.
I use fresh ginger instead of powdered—it makes a huge difference in bringing out a warm, slightly spicy kick.
Letting the sauce simmer on low for a few extra minutes helps it thicken naturally without needing too much cornstarch.
I go easy on the chili flakes at first, then adjust at the end so the spice doesn’t overpower the sauce.
