Raised in Corinth, Mississippi, and educated at Freed-Hardeman University in the barbecue capital of Henderson, Tennessee, Martin’s Bar-B-Que pit master Pat Martin developed this sauce as a tribute to the basting and dunking sauces applied to smoked chickens in northern Alabama. It also makes a fine dip for potato chips and french fries.
