White Barbecue Sauce – Gourmet BBQ Sauce At Its Best
Barbecuing is not what it used to be. When I was growing up, the only time my
family would start up the grill or smoker was in the summer, on the weekends.
Today, people barbecue every night and all year round.

White Barbeque Sauce, BAMA Style BBQ
Barbecue sauces have
come along way since then as well. There used to be only a couple of choices
at your local market. But now with the invention of “super” markets the amount
barbecue sauces you can buy locally has grown significantly.
For those gourmet
barbecue sauces the web is probably the only place you will find these unique
sauces.
If you don’t live in the Alabama area the only place you will find traditional
White BBQ Sauce like Big Bob Gibson’s is on the web or of course you can try
to make it yourself.
In Alabama Barbecue traditional Sauce uses Mayonnaise as its base rather than
tomato sauce, vinegar, or any of the other more typical barbecue sauce bases.
It is clearly a region favorite.
Bob Gibson of Decatur, Alabama is credited
with the invention the white sauce back in 1925. Friends and family were first
treated to this secret-recipe sauce on chicken and pork at weekend barbecues
where boards were nailed to trees for tables.
Today, this famous mayonnaise-based
condiment is traditionally employed to baste chicken, seafood and pork.
White BBQ Sauce is as synonymous with the state with Alabama as the legendary
"BAMA" football program. White BBQ Sauce’s intriguing flavor complements salads
and is a superb baste for chicken, pork and turkey.
You can also use White Sauce
as an ingredient to add an extra kick to your favorite slaw or potato salad.
However, because the racks of your local grocer are dominated by many incarnations
of tomato-based sauces and white bbq sauce is such a regional anomaly, most
people outside Alabama have not tested this concoction of flavor.
Like many barbecue sauces you want to apply this only at the very end of your
grilling or smoking. It will breakdown and separate if it is heated too long.
Use this sauce on chicken and turkey. It is also good on pork. Alabama White
Barbecue Sauce has a tangy flavor that is a great addition to grilled foods.
White BBQ Sauce makes a unique experience. Use this recipe when grilling chicken;
brush lightly over the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling. This
sauce is also great for dipping; keep some sauce aside for passing at the table.
