After much research and cross-referencing, I chose my food challenge for 2021. Once a week, I will make an iconic dish from each state. First up: Alabama and smoked chicken with white BBQ sauce. Thankful for friends with a new smoker to help me out with the chicken and bring dessert. 😋
It's pretty simple recipe to make, just don't forget to make up the sauce the day before so it has time to really come together and all those flavors can marry. 😁 We also thought it would be good on a smoked pork chop. 👍
If you don't have a smoker, you can also serve this over grilled chicken. I would suggest thighs or leg quarters.
1 cup mayonaise
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 heaping Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Whisk together in a small bowl and chill for about 12-24 hours.
Brush unto chicken a couple of times at the end of grilling or place smoked chicken under the broiler.
Heat the leftover sauce until warm, but not hot, to serve poured on top of the chicken.
