Alabama White Sauce
This Alabama white sauce is a mayonnaise-and-vinegar-based barbecue sauce with Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, celery seed, thyme, and black pepper. Perfect for grilled or smoked chicken, turkey, seafood, and pork.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar-based hot sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. The sauce should be smooth and pourable.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Transfer to a covered non-reactive container and refrigerate until needed. The sauce can be eaten right away or left to rest in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors develop.
NOTES
Rest in the Fridge: You can use it right away, but the flavors are better if you let it rest for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Not just for chicken: This sauce is also excellent on grilled or smoked turkey, pork, ribs, and seafood.
Swap the sweetener if needed: You can replace the sugar with maple syrup, sorghum, honey, or agave nectar. Just be sure to add a little at a time so that you don't over-sweeten the sauce.
Store it in a nonreactive container. This sauce contains vinegar. To avoid off-flavors, store in a glass or stainless steel container.
Not just a dipping sauce: Use this as a marinade for meats. It also doubles as a perfect base for making coleslaw.
