I have lived in Michigan all of my life, but my Dad grew up in Falkville, Alabama and I can remember him making “white sauce” for his bbq chicken. We all loved it. I am going to try this recipe. It has been a long time since I had it.

Thanks!

I am wondering if anyone has the recipe for a White marinade? When I lived in the South I had this great chicken off the grill. All I remember is it has 3 equal parts of white ingredients. Don’t know if it was vinegar, sugar, oil, salt but it was three things in equal parts. I do know there wasn’t any mayonnaise in it. It was the best chicken I have ever had. If anyone has the recipe I would love to know it! Anytime I search for white barbecue I get the one with mayo in it. I do know this one did not have mayo. Thanks!

My sister lives in Madison AL and introduced me to the white BBQ sauce. We grew up in Madison TN, suburb of Nashville, and never heard of such. Only 2 hours away. But Honey, it is great! I can’t believe it isn’t at all the BBQ joints. I’m glad to have a recipe to make my own.

Hey, I grew up in Gardendale Alabama, (now live in Baltimore)…definitely North ‘bama, and I had never heard of white sauce until I was with my family at our place in Cullman on Smith Lake. There was this little place called the Smokehouse, that makes the most kickin’ smoked ribs, chicken and put in your order little cartons of white sauce. Had never seen it or heard of it, but wow…it was fantastic. It compliments the meat, but never overwhelms it like a sweet sauce can. Count me a fan.

Christy-
Can this be canned? If so what’s the processing time. I think this would go well in some baskets I am making with Jams and BBQ Sauce and even your recipe for Apple butter which I might add is rootin tootin finger lickin! Also, you have me addicted to this hobbyist canning- it is a nice little way to make friends round the town.

I’m from North Alabama, the Cullman/Decatur area. This has been a staple in our home for 25 years. I use it on everything Pork Chops are wonderful I baste them while grilling and smother them afterwards. I like to use fresh squeezed lemon juice when I can. This is the first time I’ve visited your blog and I am enjoying your recipes.

[...] Alabama White Barbecue Sauce: 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? Recipe from Southern Plate. [...]
