Ingredients for Alabama White Barbecue Bbq Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • Cider Vinegar
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper

How to Make Alabama White Barbecue Bbq Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, vinegar, sugar, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  3. For best results when grilling, brush the sauce generously onto chicken, turkey, or pork during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
  4. Alternatively, marinate your meat in the sauce for at least 30 minutes (or longer) for deeper flavor penetration before grilling.
  5. Serve as a dipping sauce alongside your BBQ favorites.
  6. This recipe makes enough sauce for approximately 6 pieces of chicken. Adjust ingredient quantities as needed for larger batches.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
