Being a Southern cook is the best! The South is famous for so many great culinary dishes and we sure love to highlight them here. Take a gander at our HOMEMADE BISCUITS or our SAUSAGE GRAVY and even our WHITE ROUX RECIPE to get a good taste of the South.

Today, I get to share an Alabama born recipe and I am very excited about that.

What is Alabama White BBQ sauce?

I know what you are thinking. WHITE BBQ sauce? That just doesn’t fit. Trust me. It does.

This mayo based creamy, zingy BBQ sauce has had Alabamians in love with it since 1925. Developed in Decatur at Big Bob’s BBQ, this has become a state signature recipe.

Of course, every Bama cook has their own version and The Buttered Home has one that we love as well. And so you can share in the creamy BBQ sauce craze, I will share it with you.

Where was this BBQ sauce invented?

This delicious staple in Alabama homes was first thought to be made in Decatur Alabama at  Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q . A delight for chicken and smoked pork, this creamy sauce is the perfect pairing.

Can I use another mayo?

I don’t know why you would. Duke’s is the best but yes, you sure can. I would stay away from mayo’s that are also considered salad dressings, as not to over power the other ingredients.

What makes this sauce different?

The sauce is thought to have been born out of necessity. Sometimes, smoking meats can make them dry. This sauce helps put the moisture back into some meats that tend to dry out. It also makes a great marinade for this reason.
