Garlic mayo on things other than chicken?

[Mark R (LR)]

I saw a thread elsewhere in which someone experimented with a few different ways to get crisp chicken skin. One of the easiest methods that seemed to work was brushing with mayo. I tried it, liked it, & tweaked it by adding crushed garlic, salt & cayenne. Brushed it on before grilling, & it worked well. I'm now trying to think of other things to try it on ... Ribs? Steaks? Pork butts? I'm thinking it might be about like using mustard to help retain spices. Has anyone experimented with brushing on aioli like garlic mayo mixtures before grilling or smoking things other than chicken? If so, any successes or failures (so I can hopefully learn from & not unnecessarily repeat others' experiments)?

Thanks

Get some Ritz Crackers, crush them up into little bits (but not powder) and mix it in with your garlic-mayo, and add some fresh squeezed lemon. You got some serious stuff going then
