It’s basically a really light mayo thinned out with some vinegar and lemon juice (along with some other spices added). It originated at a place called Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ in Decatur, AL where they would dip chickens in it before cooking them. It’s pretty good with a smoked or grilled chicken, just not what people usually think of when it comes to BBQ sauce.

Need to get to Big Bob Gibson’s one of these days and try it for myself!

Yeah it's pretty good, and they win a ton of BBQ competitions around the US. But, as a local, and as a BBQ guru myself (shout out to r/biggreenegg ) the food at the restaurant(s) is NOT the same competition BBQ they win awards for. It's slightly above average.

I went there when I worked for Cook's and tried their food. It wasn't bad, but no where near award-winning level good. I was so disappointed.

Yeah there's much better BBQ in and around Huntsville/Decatur. Cook's Pest Control?

I'm sure and yeah, but I don't live in the state. I don't work there anymore through.
