My Alabama White Sauce is a tangy, creamy white BBQ sauce that will kick up the flavor on all your favorite grilled foods and sandwiches. It also makes a great dipping sauce for chicken wings, chicken tenders and french fries.
Add the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, spicy brown mustard, horseradish, and worcestershire sauce to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the kosher salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
Pour the white barbecue sauce into an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 - 4 hours before using. If possible let the sauce sit overnight before using, it will give the seasonings time to bloom and the sauce will be more flavorful.
Notes
For a spicer sauce, you can increase the amounts of the horseradish and cayenne pepper. You can also add a little of your favorite hot sauce. For a milder sauce, decrease the amount of cayenne pepper or horseradish.For a tangy sauce, add a little extra apple cider vinegar; just be careful not to add too much.For a touch of sweetness, add brown sugar, honey, agave, and even corn syrup. The sweetness will offset the heat. Adding sugar or honey is a personal preference. We didn’t add it to our sauce originally, but when I made another batch, I added sugar and liked the way it balanced the heat.If you’re not a fan of mayonnaise, you can use half sour cream or plain Greek yogurt. The yogurt will increase the tanginess of the sauce and won’t affect the overall flavor.You can also add some of your favorite seasoning blends to make your own unique blend of white barbecue sauce.
