The signature sauce in Alabama is the Alabama white sauce with a tangy, peppery bite. While it’s unlike any other barbecue sauce in the nation, it’s hard to imagine a plate of smoked chicken, pickles, and white bread without it. This sauce is in contrast to the spicy vinegar-mopped hog in Eastern Carolina and the sticky ketchup and molasses-covered ribs in Kansas City. Here’s how to make your own Alabama white sauce —
Origin Of The Sauce:
The creamy, peppery sauce known as Alabama white sauce across all of America was made popular by Bob Gibson. The white sauce was on the menu when he started his barbecue restaurant in northern Alabama in 1925. With mayo to keep the meat juicy and vinegar and spice to temper the fat, it immediately became clear that it was the ideal poultry match.
What Does The Alabama White Sauce Contain:
Although it contains mayonnaise, white sauce is a vinegar-based barbecue sauce with coarse-ground black pepper that gives it a tangy, peppery flavour.
You’ll need mayonnaise , spicy brown mustard, prepared horseradish, apple cider vinegar, hot sauce, cayenne, and a tonne of black pepper to make our version of the sauce.
