Description
Alabama White BBQ Sauce is a zesty, tangy, and creamy barbecue sauce made with a mayo base, vinegar, and bold spices. Originally made famous by Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q, this Southern classic is perfect for grilled or smoked chicken, pork, or as a flavorful dipping sauce and slaw dressing.
Ingredients
-
1 cup mayonnaise
-
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp prepared horseradish (creamy or regular)
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
-
Salt, to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
Instructions
Whisk the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust: Adjust seasoning to your preference — more vinegar for tang, more horseradish for kick, or a pinch of sugar if you want to tone down the acidity.
Chill: For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Serve: Use as a sauce for grilled chicken, smoked wings, pulled pork, burgers, or even as a salad or slaw dressing.
Notes
-
This sauce is best served cool or at room temperature—don’t heat it!
-
Great as a dipping sauce for fries, onion rings, or grilled veggies.
-
Make it thinner with a splash of water or vinegar if using as a drizzle.
