This is a finishing sauce which should be applied at the last moments of cooking or it will break down. It’s great for dipping wings also! It’s usually just called Alabama White Sauce. Alabama White Barbecue Sauce was invented in 1925 by Robert ‘Big Bob’ Gibson at Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q restaurant, in Decatur, Alabama. Don’t let this mixture’s appearance stop you from trying what is a delicious marinade, basting sauce and serving sauce.
