Alabama White Sauce

Alabama white sauce is a variety of mayonnaise-based white barbecue sauce. Its origin is frequently traced to Robert Gibson of Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q restaurant in Alabama. The sauce can be brushed on meat or used as a dipping sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 quart mayonnaise
  • 3 cups apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • ¼ tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • Prepared horseradish
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Procedure

  1. Place all ingredients in a very large blender or food processor. Blend for 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined and mixture is smooth. Pour sauce into a large bowl.
  2. Use when grilling chicken or other poultry or meat; brush lightly over the chicken (or meat) during the last few minutes of grilling. This sauce is also great for dipping; set some sauce aside for passing at the table.
