When you think of barbecue sauce, this isn’t it. In northern Alabama, pitmen have using this tangy and creamy white barbecue sauce on chicken since the sauce was created in the 1920s by legendary barbecue man Big Bob Gibson. While a departure from the traditional, it’s a delicious accompaniment for smoked chicken dishes. It takes all of five minutes to make and will last, covered, in the refrigerator for weeks.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce

This interesting mayonnaise-based BBQ sauce mates especially well with grilled or smoked chicken. Baste it on in the final minutes of cooking and serve extra in a bowl at the table.
