If you have ever been to a BBQ joint down South, you have probably been introduced to what is known as “Alabama White BBQ Sauce.” I’m sure that if there ever was an original recipe for this sauce it is now lost to history. My variation is kicked up with a fun spice combination, and some dill relish. My two favorite ways to serve this are with chicken and ribs; however, the introduction of the dill relish, will make it an excellent candidate for seafood. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
