To anyone considering making this, I'll give ya a tip as an Alabamian. Use about 25% more mayo to make more of a table sauce. If you do this though, you're going to want to adjust your seasonings a bit. Start with more pepper, and if you can find a solid black/red/white peppercorn mix, its delicious and adds tremendous color!! Another tip: bottle up your sauce and leave it in the fridge for atleast a couple hours before using it. This will let it settle a bit and thicken up, but also makes a huge difference for letting the pepper flavor permeate through the sauce which is very important. This sauce is more vinegar tasting than you might think, making it great for meats that are very rich and fatty, but it gets a bit weird on beef for some reason. Great video! Great recipe! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Thanks !
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the tip. I've never tried it but I'm going to think weekend for smoked chicken. P.S. ShotGun Red has an awesome red BBQ sauce on one of his videos
I grew up in Huntsville, AL. Does the original Gibson’s white sauce really have all of that sugar in it. It’s been a few years but I don’t remember any sweet taste at all.
This guy was a real class act.I have watched him for awhile and will continue cuz he really loved cooking and his Miss Sheila.
Thank you!!!!
Always 🙏
I just wanna say the joke at the end really made me laugh a lot. Reminded me of my dad's sense of humor. I found this channel today and I wanted to say thanks for brightening my day. Rest in peace Steve.
Glad Steve made you laugh today! He was full of jokes! :)
Darn it, and I just found this channel. Rest in Peace, big guy. He seemed like a nice fella who loved what he did.
Thanks!
Steve was a classy and kind man. His love of cooking and tasty foods always showed through. This is the first episode I've watched since he passed. YT kept recommending but I couldn't bring myself to watch knowing he was gone. Now I'm glad I did because I can leave a comment and say thank you. And thank you, Miss Sheila, for keeping the shows up and running!

Excellent Comparison 😁The MAN is in Heaven for sure, Phenomenal person who obviously loved sharing his experiences and making people smile… Always “The Best Show “ !
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺. Many thanks to Shotgun Red, so sorry to hear of his passing. I made his BBQ Sauce and this white sauce today. The BBQ sauce is the best I've ever had and the chicken is marinating now to have for lunch tomorrow. We'll remember Red while we're enjoying it.
Thank you for remembering Shotgun Red! Glad you like the sauces. 😀
I finally got around to making this recipie last night for my gang. Man oh man is it delicious. After eating it i wanted to slap myslef for not making it sooner lol. Great stuff and a must try! RIP big guy. You are missed.

Glad you enjoyed it! He still is doing his part to keep it going. When he passed he had made 307 recipes for this cooking show. Couldn't do it without Jennifer!😀💗😋 She does her fair share! shotgunred.com
What a Great Guy, I’ve always loved his videos, his humor, his vast knowledge and generosity for sharing his experience and memories. Anyone who was fortunate enough to spend time with the MAN has been Blessed. He would most definitely been a Great guy to spend time with and just hang out with. Sadly will always be missed, but his legacy will live forever “Shotgun Red “ . Continuing Prayers for his Family . 🙏
Thanks for such a nice comment! 👍😀
Marinaded some chicken about an hour then threw in on the grill. Holy cow, amazing sauce. Chicken came out awesome! Thank you for putting this video up!
Glad you liked it!!
Good evening Miss Sheila. You are such a beauty. Im glad you are doing the show still. Good people make everything better. God Bless Steve Hall❤
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching this channel! ❤️
Made this a few years ago and Steve was right as always, sooooo good!!! RIP Steve miss you all the time :-(
Thank you!
I miss Mr. Hall. R.I.P.
You know its a winner when Steve say's: "Oh Lord, ....... It's Spectacular"! :-)
Steve really loved this sauce. When he passed away Dec 2018 he had made 307 recipes.
I ditched my Weston Pro2300 and bought the VacMaster 215 on your recommendation. Best move I ever made. Found a Shotgun Red doll on ebay also. If I ain't ready to kick some ass... I outta be!!!
Congrats! on your new VacMaster... you won't believe everything you will use it for!
P.S. Also 4 to 5 cents a vac bag! Now you can make ice packs you can use over and over as well!
Steve
I've been making white bbq sauce for about 8 years, based mostly on this recipe I found on the internet. I use apple cider vinegar instead, and I make my own prepared horseradish. It's way better than store-bought and worth the trouble. I also add some fresh minced garlic and a little mustard powder. This stuff is incredible!
Thanks for sharing!
Does the Apple Cider Vinegar give it a better taste?
I made this with your recipe, I’m hooked this stuff is addictive! Thank you very much! I really enjoy watching you keep up the great job!
Glad you enjoy it!
I have a BBQ restaurant here in Manila, Philippines. I want to serve this sauce as an option to our traditional BBQ sauce.
I got a little pushback from my testing group because it is so runny.
SO, I added 1.5 tsp Xanthan Gum as a thickening preservative. It still tastes exactly the same, but it’s got a great BBQ sauce thickness that makes it a bit more popular and it sticks nicely to the meat.
All the love to you and Sheila!
Good idea! those of you who don't know, Xanthan gum is a thickener derived from potato starch. Neutral taste and a little goes along way.
I'm wanting to use this with a new recipe in our food van. I was worried about the same thing. Thanks for the tip👍 🇦🇺
I didn't find his channel until recently and I learned that he has recently passed. I hope his friends and family are doing well. One great thing about TH-cam is that his videos have now lived on in his memory
Thanks for watching Steve's video's
You are the man my friend!! I guess all the angels in heaven are getting kind of big? Thank you for your recipes and hello Miss beautiful Sheila I’m in Union County North Carolina take care of yourself!!
Thank you so much
Real easy. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne to a bottle of Ranch dressing and you are pretty close. Some extra black pepper also. Not all white sauce I have eaten has noticeable horse radish.
Steve comes pretty close to perfect here. It is good on anything!
Used to get a smoked turkey sandwich at Centennial park with white sauce, I loved it!!! sure miss Shotgun Red, but glad his videos are still around!!!
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate you watching this channel!
I never realized hes from MN! We truly are a blessed state ❤️
exactly! Mr. Perfect, Ric Flair, Iron Sheik, Ravishing Rick Rude, The Road Warriors, Brock Lesnar, truly a blessed state
This man could cook!! What a personality.
Thanks!
My family has been in Alabama a few hundred years. My husband's about 150. We have traveled and eaten all over Bama, and never skip a BBQ joint. I remember seeing the Bama White in maybe 2-3 places, and up until I started seeing cooks and pitmasters talking about it maybe 5-10 yrs ago, I had no idea what they were talking about & neither did any of our family, lol. The weird thing is, now that it has become a thing from tv and online, you suddenly see it popping up in BBQ places now. It might have been a big deal in 1925, but it lost popularity until now. Very funny stuff.
Food memories!!!! :)
Sad tjat he has passed. I just adored him. What a loss. I will keep watching....love Miss Sheila. They feel like family.💕
Thanks Karen! We are all family on here! :)
I've lived in Alabama my whole life. I've never heard of this nor have I seen it on any restaurant tables. BUT IT DO LOOK GOOD.
It’s a north Alabama thing. Mainly Decatur or Morgan county and yea that stuff is delicious on everything. Especially deer back straps
Chris is exactly right. It's a Northern Alabama thing big time.
made this sauce today...and yes, it's good..thank you Steve..we miss you buddy..
Thanks for being a subscriber!!
lots of love from South Africa..stay safe girls ..
I lived in Decatur for a long time even ran the Wendy’s across the street from Gibsons and my best friends mom worked there. I never heard of this until a couple of years ago on a bbq tv show. It was so big nobody heard of it. 😂😂😂
R.I.P to the legend shotgun red.
I made this two days ago. It's amazing!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!!
Hello from up north in Canada. Thank you, sounds good to try out.
Welcome! Steve LOVED Canada!
Love ya red! Best channel
Thanks!
How have I not run into this channel before? Such a wonderful presenter, definitely worth a sub.
Thanks for subbing! Steve passed away Dec 2018
@@CookingwithShotgunRed 😢 sorry to hear that.
I've heard of this white bbq sauce, but never had the pleasure of trying any. Now, that you have made this recipe, I know I want to try it! TFS, it looks great and it looks like it would be great on some grilled chicken!
Alabamian here 👀 I didn’t know white sauce was so uncommon in other areas. That’s so awesome you did so well sir!
Thanks for watching!👍😋 shotgunred.com
Cooking with Shotgun Red, Man made this sauce yesterday 5/27/2022. Was great we enjoyed it over smoked chicken Thighs. Thaanks.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching this channel!
Thanks, buddy. I know it's been years, but I hope you guys are doing well. This looks great. Can't wait to try it out.
Such a great guy, and a great sauce. From Alabama, I grew up eating this sauce on baked chicken, and on fried catfish. I miss the sauce, and Steve. Thanks Miss Sheila, for everything.
Thanks for being a subscriber for the last 2 years!
Love the old Buddy Hackett joke at the end. I haven't heard that one in years.
😂
grew up in Huntsville AL. this stuff defines that city. people would put it on hushpuppys before dinner came
So true!
Real cook. For the real people. Love to watch him.
Thanks!
Very nice video. Very down to earth. I think Bob and Miss Sheila should have their own tv show. There sauce is AWESOME. Thank you Bob and Miss Sheila 😎
Wow, thank you! Steve he passed away Dec 2018. Thanks for watching!
I’m very sorry to hear that. He was a pure delight in the video. I just found out about the the sauce and watched his video for the first time a few minutes ago.
I will keep him and Miss Sheila in my daily Prayers 😎🙏
Super great.love. it all. Thank you. Please keep up the good work.best to you all.
Thank you Diane! Your welcome! We will keep going forward with this channel👩🍳👩🍳
I can't wait to make this Alabama White Sauce!!! It looks absolutely delicious!!! We all love your recipes and want to say thank you for sharing them with us!!! I have told everyone I know about your show!!! Thank you, too, Miss Sheila!!!
Sheila and I thank you! Shotgun Red said "Tanks!"
Love the white sauce also!! I have the book with the recipe "Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book". Great book! Love all your video Steve and Mzz. Sheila.
Hey thanks! Hope you tell your friends! Steve & Sheila
I have tried so many different recipes and none of them tasted right... this was is awesome - thank you!!
You are so welcome!
I actually made a point of stopping by Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur, AL a few years ago when I took my mother on a trip so we could try the chicken with white sauce that I heard about on the Travel Channel back when they were showing shows like "Man vs. Food" & "Bizarre Foods" instead of shows about ghosts. When we tried it, my mom asked my opinion. I told her I wouldn't want to upset the locals, but I really thought it would be great on a salad. It was a unique taste experience as far as barbecue sauces went, but I think it would make an awesome salad dressing, too. In fact, it's the only barbecue sauce I've ever wanted to try poured over a salad! I don't know if Bog Bob Gibson would've considered this an insult or a compliment, but I definitely don't mean it as an insult.
Yes I agree with the sauce being a salad dressing! 👍😃
I LIVED IN ALABAMA AND NEVER SAW THE WHITE SAUCE BUT WHEN I LIVED IN MINNESOTA I SAW THE RECIPE FOR ALABAMA WHITE BBQ SAUCE AND I MADE IT !!!
Oh wow!
I live in Alabama and I definitely know about big bobs white bbq sauce but I can honestly say I have NEVER seen it in a restaurant down here anywhere (It is for sale at piggly wiggly tho) People eat regular vinegar based red bar bq sauce way more.
I have made my own white sauce before. If you don't mind deviating from the original 1925 recipe and adding more savory flavor to it while thickening the sauce up, add 3 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder and a quarter cup of honey. That is my recipe and it's always a hit.
Great tip Jason!😋👍
A version I do for more zing is swapping out the vinegar and using the brine from pickled jalapeños instead..
Looks absolutely amazing, can’t wait to make this. Great video
Thank you Stan! 👍😊
Matty Matheson's inspiration is what This Guy is
I love Matty's cooking!
My goodness. I want some now
OK!!! :)
Reminds me of an episode of "king of the hill". Peggy was pouring mayo in the bbq sauce recipe.
This is fantastic stuff!! I never knew this existed. Miss ya' buddy!! 🙏🙏
Thanks for watching!

@@CookingwithShotgunRed Please keep his tradition going.
Just made it per instructed
It’s not bad!
Is it the clouds parting and sun rays shining down upon you? No.
It’s very subtle and not over powering. It compliments chicken very well. I used it on bone in, skin on thighs.
Will I make it again? Yes!
Will I take credit at the next BBQ? Yes again! LoL
It’s worthwhile knowing you can make this yourself for pennies and no junk added!
I didn't think my barbecued meatloaf could possibly be improved, then I drizzled some of this over it. A good recipe and you could definitely add different spices for your own propietary white barbecue sauce.
Sounds great Ron!
Love all of his shows. Going to make this sauce soon
Great!
Miss you brother
Another great recipe! Can't wait to make this.
That Vac Master looks like a time machine
The sauce - OK, I am definitely going to try it. The 75mph chicken joke? Got an instant like!!!
Truly an amazing sauce. I have the Big Bob Gibson cookbook and the only difference from the cookbook and what he did was he added sugar. The cookbook does not indicate adding that sugar. Personally I think it would be too sweet. Personally I do one modification to Big Bob’s recipe; it’s because of my personal preference, I add a lot more horseradish. I usually add a few heaping tablespoons. I really like the extra horseradish flavor. Especially when it involves smoked chicken. I really want to go visit big Bob Gibson BBQ in person!
I passed by the Bob Gibson BBQ yesterday. It is a great sauce..
Seemed like such a good hearted person
He was! Thanks for watching!
@@CookingwithShotgunRed your very welcome
@@CookingwithShotgunRed thank you for sharing wonderful videos
Love it! Keep'em coming.
This Sauce is great on Poultry Meat such as Chicken and Smoked Turkey. God I love hearing Steve talk food. I sure do miss him and Shotgun Red together. I need to stop looking at my Doll that he signed for me as a 9 year old boy in 1990. 😭
love it there's a bbq resturant in my state and every thursday they have a special a half of smoked chicken with that sauce its delicious going to make me a batch this summer
Thanks for the recipe, that looks awesome. Will definitely be trying this weekend. Aloha from Hawaii Red, but I'm originally from Minnesota too! 🙂
I’m from Alabama but where I’m from we add much more cayenne pepper for more of a Kick and a little more lemon juice for bit of sourness.
Great tip!
can't wait to try this! im one of the FIVE ppl in my state that actually has a nuwave oven
Steve LOVED his. Used it a'lot!
I can't wait to tell the 3 leg chicken joke. Your delivery is perfect. Keep it up!👍😉
Thanks! 😃 Steve passed away Dec 29th 2018
Just came across this, and then I see the comments saying this gentleman died. I'm so sorry for his family, he seems like a sweetheart. I will have to make this sauce in his honor
Thank you Kayla!
Ate there many times in Decatur Al. ❤️
Thanks for watching these video's
Bought some Bob Gibsons bar-b-q white sauce on Amazon. Saves a lot of time and Use it on everything, love it.
Good stuff!
@@CookingwithShotgunRed Would love to go hunting, fishing, and trapping sometime. Looking for a good guide.
I make it a bit thicker (Malcolm Reed recipe) and chill in the frig. Best sammich sauce this side of Heaven.
Another great job! Love your wealth of knowledge, expertise and love for quality Q.
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh man, that looks great. can't wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas Diane!😀🎄😊
I made the alabama white sauce today. Made chicken breast. Coated the chicken breasts in alabama white sauce, flour and kelloggs flakes. Its Amazing!!!!
What a great tip!
I add celery seeds when I make Alabama bbq sauce. It's fantastic on chicken but it's just as great on pulled pork.
Thanks for the tip!
If you hold off on the sugar you can cook with this as a baste without charring. It's astonishingly good. I think it becomes dipping sauce when you add the sugar.
I love Shotgun Red
My kids love it even as a dip. Hmmmm. It's so good on chicken.
Yes it is so good! I’m a huge dipper and this great for a sauce. 😃👍
Thanks for sharing I have heard a lot about this sauce but have yet to try it I will definitely give this a go for my next bbq chicken meal thanks again
Your so welcome!
Oh my. Are you Telling me this man is dead? I thank him for the wonderful fried onion rings. RIP you are great
Thanks Marie! You can go to shotgunred1000 and watch more video's of Steve.
Wow, I always wondered about that sauce. I can't believe I didn't see this back in the day.
Classic
Can’t wait to try it out, looks like it’s an easy recipe
It was!
What kind of mayo? Thanks :)
Miss ya Big Guy!
It’s really good for dipping your french fries in too
Those New Wave ovens are really great. This video has inspired me to get one.
You will like it!
Cooking with Shotgun Red I was literally checking out when my wife said we already have one! Turns out we have an Oyama turbo oven. It was a gift that is brand new in the box that she never opened. Seems this is basically a new wave
Just discovered your channel. Great recipes! You and Sheila are very entertaining. Making the pizza and baked cabbage, A.S.A.P.❤from🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you! Steve passed away Dec 2018
3 legged chicken joke made my day !!!
Wow, this looks great! Thanks for the recipe!
This stuff is sooo good... make sure you use 2 1/2 cups mayo... Steve
must be an upstate al thing, never saw this in the gulf area
Depending on what part of Nashville you’re in you can make it to Decatur Al in about an hour. I eat Big Bob Gibson several times a month.
We have been there! Alabama has alot of great places to eat! :)
Cooking with Shotgun Red It wasn’t even Alabama White sauce until recently. Up until about 10-15 years ago you couldn’t find it outside of the Huntsville metropolitan. The only place that made better BBQ than BBG was called Thomas Pit BBQ in Madison Al but sadly they closed around 2012ish.
I think I’m going to try the “angeled” eggs this weekend, and I could probably do this one too, but that three legged chicken joke...I’m going to use that tomorrow!
He loved to tell jokes all the time. Even in the grocery line! :)
Love that I will try
Thanks for watching! 😊
Miss you Steve!
❤️
Great stuff Steve!!
