The origins of Alabama-style white barbecue sauce

There's probably no one alive who knows the reason, 100 percent, for absolute certain. Why did Bob Gibson come up with the idea of using mayonnaise with vinegar in a barbecue sauce for smoked chicken? Chris Lilly, executive chef and vice-president of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, the iconic Decatur barbecue restaurant Gibson founded, has an interesting, logical theory. Although, "I can only speculate based on my conversations with his kids, back when I first joined the family," says Lilly, who is married to Gibson's great granddaughter Amy. "They're all since passed away."

So, is it just for chicken?

It’s good on pulled pork too. It’s fricking amazing on chicken though

It's great on BBQ chicken. Saw's puts it on their wings which is also fantastic.

I make it and I like a dab on scrambled eggs. 
Here is one I made a couple weeks ago.

Big Bob can keep his white sauce to himself. Hard pass on chicken or anything else.
I’ve started going up 65 and across 72 instead of Alt 72, just so I don’t have to pass through Decatur and avoid Big Bobs on my way out that way all the time.

Martini, what recipe did you use for the white sauce?

Jim N Nicks has an awesome white sauce with their smoked chicken

My hunch is that someone used rancid mayo from the back of the fridge (we all have that bottle of mayo that's been there forever) when they didn't have another sauce and it was well liked, so they tried to replicate with new mayo + vinegar.

Uh, no we don't. At least I don't.
But I may have to finally give this stuff a try. I've always been curious about it.

Pretty much, though if they had something that was somewhat passable, it would be their chicken.
If you're in Alabama though, just go to Gibson's or Miss Myra's if you want chicken and white sauce.

Anyway, I found Clayton on one such trip and was charmed. Stopped by a little food truck called the Wicked Pig; just the nicest folks and the BBQ was not bad at all. Looks like they've taken over the brick and mortar behind them and appear to be doing well. I'm happy for them.

Their white sauce recipe, aka MoCo or Morgan County White Sauce is pretty simple. Mayonnaise, Apple Cider Vinegar, Black Pepper, Salt, Sugar, Cayenne.
As for the chicken, it comes from the processor injected & soaking in a 2% brine solution which helps with flavor & moisture retention.

Went to Big Bob Gibson's last month. The chicken with white sauce was good, but not great. The pork was pitiful and bland. I saw all of the trophies that guy won for pork so they must not be serving the same pork in the restaurant. No smoke flavor, no seasoning, no real taste.

Thanks Martini!

I always get a bottle to go from Jim N Nicks. Great on turkey at thanksgiving. Get a rotisserie chicken some nights and dip it in there. Very good.
