White Barbecue Sauce From Southern Living Recipes

If you've lived in the South for more than a minute, you know that BBQ-and the sauce that's served with it-is a matter of regional pride. Texans love their brisket, Kentucky claims chipped mutton, and in North Carolina they'll take their pork with dip. Next time you're talking 'cue in Alabama memorize these three little words: Alabama white BBQ sauce.Bob Gibson of Decatur, Alabama is credited with creating this mayonnaise-based sauce all the way back in 1925. "We marinate with it, use it to baste, plus we use it as an all-purpose table sauce," says Chris Lilly, a world barbecue champion and current pitmaster at Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q. "It's the only sauce we know here, because it's what everyone grows up on." Most folks like to serve Alabama white sauce with smoked or grilled chicken, but this versatile condiment can jazz up just about any piece of meat. Southern Living Test Kitchen Pro Ivy Odom likes to fry up turkey cutlets and serve them with Alabama white sauce on the side. This could become your family's new favorite spin on a Southern Thanksgiving. We think everyone should make a pilgrimage to Big Bob Gibson's barbecue joint, but we also like to keep this white BBQ sauce recipe on hand for any moment that the craving might strike.

A friend of my mom's from Alabama gave her this recipe. It will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. Remember to keep any sauce you use for brushing or basting meat separate from the rest, for food safety reasons!

I much prefer this as a dipping sauce over the red version for steamed or boiled shrimp. I had lost my favorite recipe until I found this. It is also, of course, a great sauce for chicken on the grill.

This North Alabama classic was printed in Southern Living, a tribute to the great barbecue experts of the peanut state. I have yet to try it, but I cannot wait. It is said to be best used to marinate and baste grilled chicken in, but is also used as a dip and popular table condiment.

From Southern Living. Bob Gibson created white barbecue sauce in 1925. This condiment is as synonymous with the state of Alabama as legendary football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. If you prefer a thicker sauce, leave out the water.

This recipe is from Jean Anderson and her book "A Love Affair with Southern Cooking" literally bring tears to my eyes because she really loves Southern cooking and it shows through history, personal experiences, stories, etc. It's like reading a novel and so full of passion and love for cooking. According to her not many Southerners beyond northern Alabama know this sauce. It is used to marinate everything from chicken to fish. Also can be used as a dip for fresh veggies and in my case used as a dip for cracked crab and chilled cooked shrimp. Speak of delish! I had this sauce with Dungeness crab, coleslaw recipe from Dinosaur BBQ and gruner veltliner wine. Perfect.
