Description

Alabama-Style White Barbecue Sauce is a tangy, creamy, and peppery sauce made with mayonnaise and vinegar, traditionally served with grilled or smoked meats like chicken and pork.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup prepared extra-hot horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and horseradish.
  2. Stir in the lemon juice, yellow mustard, black pepper, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more cayenne pepper for extra heat or more vinegar for tang.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve as a dipping sauce or drizzle over grilled chicken, pork, or vegetables. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This sauce gets spicier the longer it sits—taste before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Great as a marinade or a salad dressing base, too.
