What is Alabama White BBQ Sauce?
As you can probably guess, this white barbecue sauce recipe hails from the South! Specifically Alabama. Unlike traditional tomato-based barbecue sauces (try my homemade BBQ sauce here!) Alabama White BBQ Sauce is mayonnaise-based, which gives it the perfect creamy texture. Because it uses some vinegar, lemon, and a few other spices, this recipe tends to be a bit on the spicy side, so it’s best used as a dipping sauce for fried or grilled meats or even a delicious salad dressing. Although this started in Alabama, it is now seen all over the place because it’s so delicious! I’m telling you, use this sauce as a dip for your wings or fried chicken, and you will never go back to regular BBQ sauce again!

Mayonnaise: The may base of this sauce provides a smooth texture and a subtle egg flavor. White Vinegar: This adds a delicious tangy and acidic flavor. Lemon Juice: The lemon juice brightens the flavor of the sauce Spicy Brown Mustard: With a tiny hint of heat, the spicy brown mustard adds some flavor. Worcestershire Sauce: This savory sauce adds umami to the white BBQ sauce. Brown Sugar: The brown sugar adds some sweetness to balance out the tang and spice from the other ingredients.

Not only is this recipe delicious, but it’s SO easy! You don’t even need to buy it at the store anymore. Making it at home is so much better!
Horseradish Cream: Traditionally, this sauce uses a small amount of prepared horseradish cream. Add one teaspoon if you’re into this flavor and want a little kick! Make it Spicer: If you like spice, add a splash of hot sauce or increase the cayenne pepper. Make it Mild: To make it a little more mild in flavor, decrease the cayenne pepper and use regular or Dijon mustard instead.
