White Barbecue Sauce – It’s creamy, tangy, versatile, and the perfect dip or spread. Pair this White BBQ Sauce with fried or grilled chicken, pork, fries, sandwiches, or as a base for chicken salad. It’ll jazz up any piece of meat.

Additionally, I marinate with it, use it to baste, and use it as an all-purpose table sauce. The possibilities are endless!

White Barbecue Sauce

White Barbecue Sauce is a regional favorite. A traditional Alabama BBQ sauce, this vinegar-based sauce has quickly become a favorite with anyone that’s tried it. It’s not what you envision when you think of barbecue sauce. At all. It’s white and not sweet. It has a vinegar base, not a tomato base like most barbecue sauces. However, with all the differences it sure is good!

It’s ridiculously easy to make. You just whisk everything together in a bowl until smooth, then pour into a jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. It’s so simple, but so, so good.

    I appreciate this recipe since so many white BBQ sauces include horseradish and I despise the stuff. This recipe is good. I added paprika and just a little dijon mustard for some extra kick, but that caused it to not stay so “white” (which is fine by me!). Yum. I normally hate pepper, but I didn’t mind this at all.

  3. Have you ever tried a mix of sour cream and mayonnaise to reduce a few calories. Know it must be great just as the recipe is written. I’m always trying to cut calories. Seems like I gain weight just looking sat food. Ha

  4. what is the green slivers in the sauce? Dill? Chive? no mention in the chicken recipe either.

  5. I tried Alabama White Sauce for the first time last year and it took a little getting use to but I enjoy it now.
    I’ve never made it myself but I will give your recipe a try.
    Thanks for sharing!

  6. I didn’t have any white wine vinegar so I substituted red wine vinegar. This stuff is the BOMB!
    I got a salad dressing recipe (ranch type) from my little sister a few months ago that was to die for. This is the same. Matter o’ fact… this would be tasty on a salad, for pete’s sake!
