Alabama white sauce stands apart from tomato-, mustard-, and vinegar-based barbecue sauces. It is pale, tangy, peppery, and especially tied to smoked chicken in northern Alabama. Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur is the landmark most associated with the style, where cooked chicken is famously paired with a mayonnaise-and-vinegar sauce. This home version grills chicken pieces and serves the sauce on the side or brushed on at the end so the flavor stays bright.
