Alabama White Sauce is a tangy sauce that delivers big in flavor. The name "White Sauce" comes from its color. The origin of the sauce is North Alabama and Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q in Decatur Alabama is credited for its invention.

What is in Alabama "WHITE SAUCE"

The base ingredients found in Alabama White Sauce are mayonnaise, vinegar (typically cider vinegar), and salt/pepper.

Additional variations of the Alabama white sauce can include ingredients such as horseradish, mustard, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.

How To Use Alabama "White Sauce"

The Alabama White sauce is reserved for chicken. Traditionally used on smoked chicken as a finishing sauce. In Alabama, this will finish smoked chicken by dipping the whole chicken in a vat of white sauce.

The sauce can also be used on all forms of chicken (e.g. shredded chicken, chopped chicken, grilled chicken) because the penetrating nature of the sauce really creates a special and unique dimension.
