Alabama white sauce is a creamy, tangy mayo-based BBQ sauce made in just 5 minutes with pantry staples. Perfect on grilled chicken, wings, burgers, and as a dipping sauce.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together all the above listed ingredients. Make sure there are no lumps from the mayonnaise.
1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard, 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Transfer sauce to a pint sized mason jar, or any container with a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to using to allow all the flavor to blend well.
Notes
Storage: Store your sauce in a mason jar or any airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Just give it a good stir before serving since it may settle a bit as it sits.Skip the freezer on this one! Because of the mayonnaise base, the sauce will separate when thawed and you won't be able to get that creamy texture back. This one is best enjoyed fresh and cold, straight from the fridge! Tips:
Feel free to play around with the amounts of vinegar, sugar, and prepared horseradish until it tastes just right to you, a little more here or a little less there goes a long way!
Love a little heat? Throw in a few dashes of your go-to hot sauce to kick things up a notch!
Want to give your sauce a deeper, smokier flavor? Simply stir in ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika along with your other spices.
Short on time? Skip the extra bowls and toss everything straight into your mason jar! Just be sure to give it a really good shake or stir before sealing the lid and popping it in the fridge.
