Mesquite Grilled Chicken In White Barbeque Sauce Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Sparow64 / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago Got this from Southern Living several years ago, and it has become a family favorite! A "zippy, twangy" sauce. Recipe is based on a 3 lb whole fryer, cut into quarters, for more even cooking. For best results, use bone-in with skin chicken. Marinat... More Prep:45m Cook:120m Servings:6	Sparow64

Ingredients

3 lb whole fryer, cut into quarters, or 3 lbs bone in with skin chicken pieces

2 c mesquite, hickory or other wood chips

Aluminum foil

Heavy duty ziploc bag

White BBQ Sauce

1 1/2 c REAL Mayo (Kraft or dukes - should say REAL mayo on label - miracle whip, hellmans, etc. do not have the flavor or consistency to work well in this sauce)

1/4 c white wine vinegar

1 T Creole mustard (can substitute with spicy or brown mustard)

1 t sugar

1 t salt

1 T coarsely ground black pepper

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 t prepared horseradish

Directions

Cut fryer into quarters for even cooking

Sauce:

whisk together all sauce ingredients until well blended

Pour 1/2 c into separate container and set aside to serve with chicken

Place chicken in heavy duty ziploc bag, and add remaining sauce

Seal, and turn several times until chicken is well-coated

Chill 4 hours

30 minutes before cooking, remove chicken from bag and allow to come to room temperature, discard used marinade

OR - let the sauce chill for about an hour, grill your chicken, then dip it in the sauce.

FOR GAS GRILL

Indirect cooking

Place 2 c wood chips in the center of a large square of heavy-duty aluminum foil; fold into a rectangle, and seal. (DO NOT SOAK IN WATER FIRST)

Arrange chicken, skin side up, on cooking grate over unlit side

FOR CHARCOAL GRILL

Soak 2 cups wood ships in cold water for 30 minutes, drain.

Prepare fire by piling charcoal on each side of grill, leaing center empty.

Let charcoal burn 30 minutes or until flames disappear and coals turn white

Oh my. Ohhhhhh my! Yes, honey. BBq chicken with a white sauce is a staple amongst the older Southerners. I bet Salty Mike will love this one too.

And you're right about the mayo. Kraft, Dukes or Hellman's. I prefer Kraft or Duke's--the Hellman's is too vinegary for my taste. These real mayo's have the "body" that other "sauces" don't have.

Great post!! --Kn0x--

Sounds great but I don't know what creole mustard is...Never heard of it...Can I sub something else for it?

sparow64 6 months ago said:
Sorry! Creole Mustard is a spicy, cajun whole grain mustard, with the mustard seeds slightly curshed. I usually just use the whatever brown mustard I have on hand.

I made the White BBQ Sauce from this recipe last night and it was absolutely perfect! I grilled chicken cutlets and immediately dipped them in the BBQ sauce after they were cooked. Then I covered them and set them aside for 10 minutes before serving. This sauce was creamy, tangy and garlicy...all the flavors I love in one sauce! This is a must try recipe!
