Alabama White Sauce

Cecil

I am doing chicken thighs for a party tonight and thought some white sauce would be good.
Any recipe suggestions?
I assume: mayo
apple cider vinager
bbq rub
What else?

Thanks,

This is from a web site that purports to be the "real" Big Bob Gibson's sauce and method:

Big Bob Gibson's Hickory-Smoked Chicken
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, finely ground
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 whole chicken, cut in half
• Finely ground kosher salt and ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
To prepare the sauce: Combine all the first six ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Place in an airtight container or bottle and refrigerate until you're ready to use. Keeps up to 4 days.

To prepare the chicken: Wash the chicken and season it liberally with salt and pepper. Smoke over hot coals and hickory wood at 300 to 350 degrees for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Halfway through the smoking process, baste the chicken with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper once more.

After you take the chicken off the pit, immediately place it in the bowl of white sauce, turning the chicken to coat evenly. Place the chicken on a cake rack and allow it to rest for a few minutes prior to serving. Discard any sauce that you've used for coating chicken.

Thanks to you and Fidel for the info.

When the chicken comes off, save a portion of the white sauce to be used for dipping. Dunk the chicken in the remainder of the sauce and let sit. It will be very good. I also use the white sauce at dinner time (that is thereason to save some at the start)
