bbq essentials: alabama white sauce (variation)
This is a BBQ white sauce recipe that I have used for a long time. Over the years, I tweaked some of the ingredients until finally coming up with this formula. It has some great kick, but it is not overpowering. In the Summer, when I am grilling, this sauce is never far from my side. If you are a grillin’ person, and grill a lot of chicken, you might want to check this sauce out. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

2The absolute best mayonnaise for this sauce is Duke’s. Unfortunately, it is hard to find in the Northern States. It is, however, available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Dukes-Mayonnaise-32-ounce-Jar-Pack/dp/B009VMEP2M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 FYI: If you do take a chance and get this through the mail, do not order when the weather is extremely cold (below freezing). The freezing cold will cause the mayo to separate. I learned this the hard way. However, I did call Duke’s directly, and they gave me a refund.
-
3The two ingredients that I have added over the years, are freshly chopped dill, and a few drops of Frank’s Hot Sauce. To me they are deal breakers, and really give the sauce some multi-level flavors. But, that is just me.
-
4Concerning the horseradish… do not use horseradish sauce, use real “prepared” horseradish… The good stuff.
-
5Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
-
6Add all the Main Ingredients to a non-reactive bowl, and whisk until smooth, and fully combined.
-
7Add 2 or 3 drops of Frank’s Hot Sauce, and chopped dill, if using.
-
8Whisk together until smooth.
-
9Chef’s Note: Do a final sampling, and add a bit of salt, and pepper, to taste.
-
10Cover with cling foil, and place in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight, if possible.
-
11Chef’s Note: Since this is not a cooked sauce, the ingredients need some time to get to know each other.
-
12For longer-term storage, place in a non-reactive jar with a tight-fitting lid, and store in the fridge until needed.
-
13Chef’s Note: If properly stored, this sauce should last about 10 – 14 days. It might last longer; however, I have never been able to keep any extra for a longer period of time :-)

15In my opinion, this is the perfect BBQ white sauce for the Summer months, when you are grilling chicken. However, you could try it on other items, and see what happens. Enjoy.
