From Denny: With all this ridiculous hot weather across the nation we are all left wondering if we are the ones getting grilled! But wait! Time to grill that famous summer BBQ chicken, this time with the Alabama White Sauce becoming so popular.
If you are not familiar with Alabama White Sauce it's based on mayonnaise. Yucky mayonnaise, you say? Hey, all that oil delivers the spicy flavor of this unusual sauce and the mayonnaise taste is completely changed by the following: There is plenty of cider vinegar and lemon juice to cut the oil and the addition of cayenne pepper, black pepper and horseradish definitely spices up the taste. The recipe for this sauce follows so you can make your own.
This Alabama White Sauce recipe is from Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, Alabama, the restaurant famous for this sauce. They have also been featured on the Food Network. And hey, if you can't travel to Alabama, Big Bob's does sell gift baskets of their famous sauces on their web site.
