🍗 HOMEMADE ALABAMA WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE RECIPE 🍗
🍗 HOMEMADE ALABAMA WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE RECIPE 🍗
✨ YIELD: ~1.5 Cups
⏱️ PREP TIME: 5 Minutes
❄️ REST TIME: 30 Minutes
📋 THE COMPONENTS
🤠 Option A: Vintage Sheriff Stand Base
🔹 1 Cup Miracle Whip
🔹 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
🔹 1 Tbsp Prepared Horseradish
🔹 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper
🔹 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
🔹 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
🔥 Option B: Standard Heavy Duty Base
🔹 1 Cup Heavy Duty Mayonnaise (such as Duke's)
🔹 1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
🔹 1 Tbsp Prepared Horseradish
🔹 1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
🔹 1/2 tsp Granulated Sugar
🔹 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper
🔹 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
🔹 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
🔹 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
🥣 PREPARATION METHOD
👉 Step 1: Dissolve Dry Spices
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice (if using), horseradish, sugar (if using), salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Let the mixture sit for 60 seconds until the dry spices fully dissolve in the acid.
👉 Step 2: Incorporate Creamy Base
Add the Miracle Whip (or heavy mayonnaise) to the bowl. Whisk vigorously until the liquid is fully incorporated and the sauce is completely smooth. The consistency should be thinner than standard dressing, resembling heavy cream.
👉 Step 3: The Cold Cure
Transfer the sauce to a glass jar or squeeze bottle. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the horseradish and black pepper to bloom.
👨🍳 CHEF PRO TIP
Traditionally used as a heavy mop or dunk for smoked chicken straight off the pit. If using as a dunk, this thin consistency is perfect. If you prefer a thicker dipping sauce, reduce the apple cider vinegar slightly or thin to preference with a splash of apple juice.
