If you’re looking for a bbq sauce for your smoked wild turkey, pork, or chicken, then look no further than this easy Alabama White Sauce recipe. I’m not a very big fan of thick, sweet, gooey tomato-based sauces on my smoked or grilled wild birds.
While sweet sauces have their place, I prefer something that has depths of flavor along with a little twang on the finish. And you can achieve just that without loads of added sugar, with this version of Alabama white sauce. It’s a little creamy, a wee bit spicy, and with just the right amount of tanginess. You can mop your smoked birds or ribs in the sauce after they are cooked or simply use it as a dipping sauce.
COOKS NOTES:
- What Type of Sauce is Alabama White Sauce: This is a mayonnaise and vinegar based sauce with a mixture of seasonings and herbs.
- What is this Sauce Used for? While its most popular served with smoked and grilled chicken, it’s also excellent with wild and domestic pork and turkey.
