Alabama White BBQ Sauce
A creamy, tangy, and peppery mayonnaise-based barbecue sauce originating from Decatur, Alabama, perfect for grilled or smoked chicken, pork, fish, and even as a dip for fries.
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups mayonnaise preferably Duke’s
- ¾ cup distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Use the sauce to baste grilled meats during the last few minutes of cooking, or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- This sauce is best made ahead of time so that the flavors have a chance to meld in the refrigerator. Aim for at least two hours, but overnight is best. You can keep it in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Store this sauce in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, or plastic airtight container in the refrigerator to use within a week. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the mayonnaise-based sauce may be affected after thawing.
