An incredible substitute for traditional ketchup barbecue sauces, my Alabama White Sauce is a tangy, mayonnaise based white sauce that delivers big on flavor.
What is Alabama White Sauce?
Need a change from your regular barbecue sauce?
Ever hear of a Alabama White Sauce? It’s also known as White BBQ sauce, too.
This stuff is amazing and a fantastic change from typical vinegar/tomato puree or ketchup based barbecue sauces.
This mayonnaise based white sauce requires no cooking, is whipped up in minutes and the flavor!
What is Alabama White Sauce made with?
Made with ingredients like horseradish, apple cider vinegar, mustard, black pepper and a little cayenne this is tangy, lip smacking and fun change that can be used on your next batch of smoked or grilled chicken. I used it the other night on my BBQ Spatchcock Chicken. So, so good!
I like to reserve some white barbecue sauce to use as a dipping sauce for shredded chicken and in sandwiches, too.
For another homemade barbecue sauce, give my Kansas City Style BBQ Sauce a try on your next rack of ribs. Enjoy!

The Metric conversion is way out, making the apple cider vinegar 3/4 as much as the mayonnaise…
Neerena, I use a recipe plugin that automatically calculates that info. I went in and double checked it, does it seem to be working correctly for you now?
Hi, Would it ruin the recipe if I switched yellow mustard to brown or dijon?
Thanks!
Nope, not at all Mary Beth. 🙂
Great change to everyday BBQ sauce! Everybody love it!! One question..How long will last in the fridge after 1st use?
Thanks Chad! Actually mine hasn’t made it past the 2 week mark, so I don’t know more than that! 🙂
about a week
What a delicious sauce!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed this Kevin. Sometimes you just need to switch it up a little!
I am trying this on chicken wings tomorrow
Great idea! Bacon wrapped tots, too Kevin.
