White Barbecue Sauce


Adam's uncle owns a barbecue restaurant in Alabama that is phenomenal. They actually even catered our rehearsal dinner. This was where I first tried white barbecue sauce and it was so creamy and tasty! My mom absolutely loves it so I knew I wanted to make some for her sometime. Adam's uncle's recipes are top secret, but I had come across a recipe several years ago in Southern Living but had never got around to making it. I thought our BBQ Father's Day dinner would be the perfect time to try it out. This was so creamy and added such a great flavor to the regular barbecue sauce without taking away from it. This is great alternative to your typical bbq and also fun for an additional topping for your guests. I cooked my chicken in the regular bbq sauce and then used the white for topping.

  2. I’m from Alabama and worked in a restaurant that served several dishes featuring white bbq sauce. I haven’t had it since I worked there which has been several years. Thank you for posting this because you reminded me how much I loved it then and now I can’t wait to make it so I can enjoy again :)
