Alabama White Barbecue Sauce
Today, I’m bringing you a real rarity. In fact, it is pretty much unheard of outside of North Alabama. White BBQ Sauce, even my husband (who is from a town in Georgia only four hours away) had never heard of it. A lot of folks in south Alabama have never heard of it.
This is truly a regional thing, but also a regional requirement. EVERY BBQ restaurant in North Alabama features white bbq sauce on their menu, their meats, and their tables and North Alabamians eat it with everything from french fries to bread to chicken and ribs. This unique, tangy flavor is the perfect compliment to just about everything.
Personally, I like to use so much that my food is swimming in it. How about we make up a batch for you?
To make your own white barbecue sauce, you’ll need: mayonnaise, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, white vinegar, and sugar.
Place mayonnaise in a bowl, add vinegar.
Add lemon juice.
…salt
…pepper
…and sugar.
Mix it all well with a whisk, or just put all of your ingredients into a large jar with a lid and give it a really good shaking!
OH LAWDY!
You have just made White Barbecue Sauce!
Before you go wow your friends, get a french fry or a piece of chicken and give it good dunking so you can be the first to taste!!!
YUM!!!
I could just live on this y’all, honest!

Oh by the way Christy, that was the first time I have ever sent in a review. I just want to let you know that I really enjoy your encouraging words and all the scrumptious recipes. We absolutely love the Mexican Cornbread recipe and many others. Sooooo good!! I cant wait to make the White Sauce. Thank you for taking so much time out of your busy life to give us a slice of the “good ole days”. Thanks!!!!
When you use it on chicken does it have to be barbqued? Are you saying that you cover the meat when barbqueing or mostly just things at a bar b que you can use it to cover and dip them with? It sounds great…
Please let me know…
I would love to print some of your recipes. sort of a beginner,etc. How,What do you recommend. I do not like going to Face Book or others,etc. why do you not provide simple spot to click on ?? Print recipe here or etc. most food sites do this, makes it so easy for anybody, without jumping thru hoops to do it.
Help, please. I am a recipe addict and I love your site. don rosebaugh
Don,
Look below the ingredients and instructions part of the recipe thats outlined with a black line, making a square around it. Look under that and you will see blue printing that says “Print This Recipe”.
I will have to try this, I have never heard of white BBQ sauce either up here in MI. Have you added other seasonings to this? Like garlic powder?
Another question; when making biscuits have you tried replacing half of the liquid with ranch dressing? (Not sure if you like ranch dressing) I did and then added shredded cheddar cheese to the dough and ended up with a cheddar ranch biscuit.
I’m Southern born & raised so white bbq sauce isn’t strange to me. I love it. But the recipe I have been using is just a bit different from this one. I’ll give this one a try. Thanks for posting it. I never can have too many recipes. I’ve got so many cookbooks, cooking magazines, homemade recipe notebooks, etc. that I’ll have to mention them in my will so they don’t get destroyed. I love cooking!
Forgot to mention that I use white pepper instead of the black in order to keep everything ‘white’.
I live in KY and I have never even heard of white bbq sauce so this is going to be a must try and later today I have a cook out happening so what better a time to try I can’t figure. Thank you girl I like all the ingredients in it so it should be interesting. I would also like to know like one other poster on here, is it for dipping mostly, or using like a regular bbq sauce? I would assume more for dipping but not exactly sure.
I am so ecstatic to have found your website this morning. We just returned from visiting my Mom who lives just outside Huntsville. Of course all we want to eat when we are in Alabama is Barbecue since what is described as such in Sarasota, FL is not what we have in mind. I am going to make your pulled pork and vinegar slaw for Memorial Day and a batch of the white sauce to have in the fridge. Thank you for sharing.
I’m from western Kentucky and while we have our very own proud BBQ heritage here (lots of smoked pigs), sadly white sauce is absent. On the other hand north Alabama is only 2 hours away, so I can make a run to Big Bob Gibson’s if need be. Ive loved it since I first had it from a BBQ joint in Nashville, and been lookin for a good recipe to try out.
It’s for dipping, not a marinade
