Alabama White Barbecue Sauce

[GhenghisVol]

Are you guys familiar with this stuff? Most BBQ stands in N. Alabama have it, generally for chicken but Moe's in Birmingham puts it on their pulled pork samich with red sauce....awesome.

I'm smoking up some butts and chicken today and just finished a batch of white sauce. There are many variations of this recipe, but I like mine a little thicker than most. Some restaurants like Big Bob's in Decatur will actually dunk your chicken order down into a hot vat of this stuff before serving. yum yum

Alabama White Sauce

2 cups a) Bama b) Dukes, or c) (shudder) Hellman's Mayo
1 tbl black pepper
1-2 tsp salt
6 tbl white vinegar
6 tbl fresh lemon juice
1-2 tsp horseradish
1 tsp cayenne
4 tbl sugar

A wire whisk comes in handy. You can thin this out with a little water if you want to.



Here's a variation.

Version 2 is the one I got out of Southern Living I believe it was. The stuff is also bitchin on roast beef. Avatar-Was there a death in the family Gheng?

Chick from Lost. Cynthia Watros.....hotter than an Arkansas Rembrandt.

Yeah that second recipe is what I'm guessing is laying all over that chicken breast I found.

A lot of the ingredients would make their own mayo-like sauce w/o the mayo.

Any foodies who found a recipe from before store bought mayo?

When I had it at Bob Gibson's in Decatur, it was bland.

[GhenghisVol]

You cant make mayonaise out of lemon juice, vinegar, and horseradish.

I dont understand what this means?

Big Bob's is the worst BBQ joint in all of Alabama. That place is a disgrace, still dont know how he's managed to claim all those world titles and turn out such bad food. I dont think he puts salt, cayenne, or as much black pepper in his recipe....and I doubt horseradish.

[tebowisgay]

I think she is looking for a recipe that makes the white BBQ sauce, and within the recipe fabricates the mayo portion of it. (oil and eggs) Right Real Turf?

[GhenghisVol]

Why would anybody want to make fucking mayo-naise to make white bbq sauce with? That doesnt make any fucking sense. Just get some Dukes or Bama mayo for cryin out loud and your done. Gheez.

ate at Moe's the other day G ... they just put one within walking distance of STV hospital ... so it's all over for me now. Good quality Q ... and right across the street from Golden Rule.

Unfortunately .. it went into the place that used to be one of the best value restaurants in the 'ham ... The Oyster House. That place had outstanding food.

[GhenghisVol]

The Oyster House is gone? Shit!

I eat at the Moe's on Rocky Ridge, it is fucking outstanding. Try an Alabama samich, thats about the best thing I ever had in my life.

Since you sort of asked...
As a child I got really sick from mayo. I still remember the episode. I can tolerate the ingredients if they are freshly combined, but a number of the store bought ones have a certain scent and bring back up (pun intended) real bad memories and an urge to hurl.

[GhenghisVol]

Really, wow. I have the same problem with Southern Comfort.

Mayo is easy to make. How do you know homemade wont give you the same problem?

[real turf fan]

Because home made doesn't.
Maybe it's because I use fresher eggs (a day or two from the chicken.)

Maybe commercial mayo has some kind of preservative in it that you're allergic to. Making it fresh avoids the preservative and thus the sickness. However, by making it fresh you are missing out on one of the two major food groups, the other being sugar. :bluepleased:
