**White Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches: A Southern Delight with a Twist**

In the realm of barbecue, there's a unique and delectable variation that hails from Alabama, known as white barbecue chicken.

This Southern delicacy is often served on soft, toasted buns, topped with coleslaw and pickles, creating a symphony of flavors that tantalize the taste buds.

This article presents a collection of white barbecue chicken sandwich recipes, each with its own distinctive twist. From the classic Alabama-style white barbecue sauce to variations that incorporate different ingredients like sour cream, buttermilk, and horseradish, these recipes offer a range of options to suit every palate. Whether you prefer your white barbecue sauce mild, tangy, or with a hint of heat, you're sure to find a recipe that satisfies your cravings.
