    white bbq sauce with chicken and fries

    When I first heard of White BBQ Sauce I thought to myself that someone had made a mistake. Then I came to realize that this sauce is very popular in the South and is more of a Dipping Sauce.

    White BBQ sauce, also known as Alabama white sauce, is a tangy and creamy condiment that originated in the southern United States.

    Unlike traditional barbecue sauces that are usually tomato-based and sweet, white BBQ sauce is made with mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, horseradish, and spices.

    As I've mentioned previously in other recipes, I love food with a little kick. And this BBQ sauce will not disappoint. Just a handful of ingredients that you mix together and done! No boiling or anything else. That easy!

    This sauce is perfect for dipping chicken tenders or you could even use it in a sandwich wrap. I've had it on turkey burgers and even like to dip my fries in this delicious sauce.

      I tried this kind of white bbq sauce in a bottle, it was a store one time order.. of course after I find I love it .. couldn’t find it again! I’m SO HAPPY to have found your recipe, yes even better than bottled. I have to watch sodium closely.. this if far lower than other sauces. I’ll try mixing up the recipe for fun sometimes. Thank you

        Glad you like the recipe. I LOVE dipping my chicken nuggets in this sauce. Sometimes I even add a little more horseradish when I am looking for a little more kick!
