| Alabama Barbecue Chicken |
If you have never tried Alabama Barbecue Chicken with White Sauce I know
three good reasons you should. It's easy, it's cheap, and it's delicious. This
barbecue chicken gets butterflied to make it cook evenly and quickly. You
probably have most of the ingredients for this recipe and if you don't it won't
break the bank to buy them. And the combination of smoked chicken and this
delicious, tart barbecue sauce gives you a truly unique form of barbecue that
I'm certain you will make again and again.
We're going to butterfly this chicken, give it a light coating of oil, season with
salt and pepper, and cook it indirectly on the grill with some hickory chunks for
smoke. At around 300 to 325 degrees F. it will take our whole chicken about 3
hours to cook. From the grill it goes to the sauce and then to the table. The
process is easy and the results wonderful.
What we need:
•1 Whole Chicken
•A grill or smoker
•Fuel for that grill or smoker
•About 5 or 6 big hickory chunks
•2 cups Alabama White Barbecue sauce
•Oil or lard
•Salt and Pepper
When it comes to the equipment you need the best solution is a charcoal grill
large enough to cook a whole, butterflied chicken indirectly. You can use a
smoker but we want to cook our chicken at a higher temperature than
traditional low and slow barbecue (225 to 250 degrees F.). We'll be cooking
at around 300 to 325 degrees F. so you will need to be able to hold this
temperature for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours depending on the size of your chicken.
