Recipe: Alabama White Barbecue Sauce
Try this barbecue sauce as a dipping sauce on chicken, turkey, pork, salads, sandwiches, chips and pretzels. (Southern Bite)
Now, most folks are probably scratching their heads right now and saying, “White barbecue sauce?”
This mayo-based concoction is hugely popular in north Alabama and was made famous by the amazing barbecue joint Big Bob Gibson. I love it on grilled or smoked chicken or turkey, but it’s also great on pork. I recommend basting with it toward the end of cooking and serving it with the meat as a dipping sauce. It’s also great on lots of other things, too – salads, as a dip for chips or pretzels, you name it.
If you’ve never tried this, I bet you’re going to love this deliciously tangy sauce.
Most of the ingredients needed for this recipe are already in your kitchen. (Southern Bite)
