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.
What is White Barbecue Sauce Made of?
This sauce starts with mayonnaise and is thinned out with vinegar. Next, it gets a flavor kick from lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
What does Alabama White Sauce taste like?
It’s creamy and tangy and has a good ‘dose’ of freshly ground black pepper giving it just enough kick. You’ll definitely want to use freshly ground pepper, it makes a world of difference with the flavor!
Is Alabama White BBQ Sauce the same as Ranch dressing?
No. Ranch is creamy with dill. Alabama White Sauce is tangy with a black pepper flavor.

Stopping by from Foodie Fridays! This is interesting, I’ve never had nor heard of “white” BBQ sauce before! Sounds garlicky and super yummy. I love to dip french fries in regular BBQ…this would be even tastier!
gosh, this is so good, I knew it was a “Southern thing” but I’m surprised at how many people have never heard of it.I almost always keep it in the fridge for grilled chicken, fries, spread for sandwiches. Thanks for stopping by!
