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 🙏
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!
Your so welcome! You can click on shotgunred1000 and you will see a'lot of video's of Steve fishing, In his garden, on the road doing shows.
AGREED !
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!
Close your eyes and tell me you don't hear Chris Farley.
It is pretty close Wayne. He sounds like one of Chris's characters. Which makes sense since the guy in the video is from Minnesota and Farley was from Wisconsin.
Definitely
I don't hear Chris Farley. But then, I never cared for him. Never found him funny. But I sure do like Steve Hall. And if you see hear the resemblance and like both, more power to ya.
He looks like a heavier version of Robert Goulet.
@@scott-o3345 LOL!
I miss Mr. Hall. R.I.P.
Just made some of this this morning, absolutely amazing I could just drink it as is, thank you Steve for this I know you are not on this earth anymore but it still sure does feel like you are, you live on in memories and videos like this, just wish I could have met you in person as you are a great guy!!!, thank you Sheila for keeping this channel going and Steve's memories it's total amazing, it keeps me young and enthusiastic, exactly what we need at a time like this in the world!!
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
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!

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👍 🇦🇺
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
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!
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 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!
He truly is the bob ross of food. He’s up in the big kitchen in the sky pickling everything his heart desires. Rest easy❤️
You can click on shotgunred1000 there is alot of video's of Steve.
Steves gone??? When??? How???
@@natureboy6410 Steve died in Minnesota December 2018.
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 “ !
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!!
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..
must be an upstate al thing, never saw this in the gulf area
I'm sure he's Matty Matheson's long lost uncle
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
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!!!! :)
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.
Steve Hall Should’ve been on QVC he could sell anybody anything.
Thanks!
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. 😂😂😂
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?
Reminds me of an episode of "king of the hill". Peggy was pouring mayo in the bbq sauce recipe.
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!
I made this two days ago. It's amazing!! Thanks!
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! ❤️
It's basically coleslaw sauce.
Yup - pretty much the same thing I use for potato salad.
My slaw recipe is close also but I use 50/50 mayo and sour cream and no horseradish. A bit less vinegar also. All in all, I'll bet his recipe tastes good.
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 ya red! Best channel
Thanks!
Hahahhaahahahahahahhaahhahahahahayayya i like the joke dude!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahayayayayayay
What kind of mayo? Thanks :)
Miss ya Big Guy!
Dukes mayo. In case anyone was questioning what mayo is best.
Made this a few years ago and Steve was right as always, sooooo good!!! RIP Steve miss you all the time :-(
Thank you!
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 have the missing ingredient. My girlfriend used to work at Big Bob Gibson's. Even the cookbook is wrong. They just won't divulge it. You're close enough, though.
scott- o You being from Alabama what would your recipe be? I want to make this.
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!
That Vac Master looks like a time machine
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.
Sounds great!
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..
Matty Matheson's inspiration is what This Guy is
I love Matty's cooking!
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
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 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
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.
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.
grew up in Huntsville AL. this stuff defines that city. people would put it on hushpuppys before dinner came
So true!
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 make it a bit thicker (Malcolm Reed recipe) and chill in the frig. Best sammich sauce this side of Heaven.
In NC we would call that salad dressing
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
Rest with the Lord our God brother Steve ♥♥♥♥♥ You are truly missed.
Thank you😢
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! :)
Hello from up north in Canada. Thank you, sounds good to try out.
Welcome! Steve LOVED Canada!
You should try my "White Sauce"
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.

"now...imma take these katongers"
Just be careful with heating up mayonnaise back in the day they tell us that call food poison!! I don't know I'm not a scientist.
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 UA-cam is that his videos have now lived on in his memory
Thanks for watching Steve's video's
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!
Seen on TV the actual guy and he dipped in the cooked chicken at the end......
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.
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!
Miss you brother
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!"
Noticed Pioneer womans had apple cider vinegar, (not apple juice) mustard, worchestchire, and had a 1 star rating!! leave it to Shot Gun to get us the real recipe, wich I verified is in Bob's book.
Thank you!
Good stuff! Where was steve from in Minnesota?
Thanks! Brainerd Mn
@@CookingwithShotgunRed Paul Bunyan country, i lived in East Grand Forks. He brings back memories of home for me , thank you for the videos.
Just heard him say he came to RedBay, I live 25mins from there
It is a awesome town! :)
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!
3 legged chicken joke made my day !!!
Homeboys using an egg beater! Why not use a whisk LOL
It’s really good for dipping your french fries in too
Ate there many times in Decatur Al. ❤️
Thanks for watching these video's
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.
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👩🍳👩🍳
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.
R.I.P to the legend shotgun red.
I've made this every year and I do it on a smoker. And finish the sauce on the smo😮ker with the final cook on the chicken.half cook the chicken and then high heat smoke for the finish that sauce on it
Thanks for sharing!
👩🍳❤️👩🍳
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 ..
Thanks for the recipe, that looks awesome. Will definitely be trying this weekend. Aloha from Hawaii Red, but I'm originally from Minnesota too! 🙂
Leg quarters will be more tender if you cook them to 185 degrees SLOWLY. The collagen in the dark meat turns to gelatin if you give it enough time and heat.
"Big Bob Gibson's Alabama white sauce or Alabama Bbq sauce... whatever they call it."
My goodness. I want some now
OK!!! :)
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. 😭
Hahahahahahah! That was the best chicken joke of all time!
LOL!
From Minnesota but a Packers fan!??! :X Still a great video. SKOL VIKINGS!
First video I've ever seen of this guy and I find out in the comments he's dead. Son of a bitch.
Yes Bill he passed away Dec 2018
hahahahah worth it for the joke at the end Shotty! I like alabama white sauce, haven't made it in a while.
Thanks Mike for being a subscriber for the last 4 years!
Watching this made me think "Hhmmm..Very similar to a cole slaw dressing." I think I'm gonna try that.
IDK we never caught one LOL
The sauce - OK, I am definitely going to try it. The 75mph chicken joke? Got an instant like!!!
interesting.. a little less of the vinegar and just a bit of horse radish is exactly how i've made my my coleslaw dressing for years. Never would have thought its essentially what white bbq sauce is.
It is not used in every restaurant.
I dont think we marinate the chicken in the white bbq sauce in north bama but it does make me wonder now. I dont work in a bbq joint (kind of a wing joint) but we do have a lot of sauces.... most of which is not made in house... and have a white bbq sauce which is a lil thicker than shown here...point is give it a try and i like his spin on it.
Yes it was buddy Hackett. The three legged chicken joke. We miss you Steve😥
Right Sheila?
Right!!👩🍳
