Smoky Dry-Rubbed Grilled Chicken with Alabama White Sauce
RECIPE COURTESY OF KARDEA BROWN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 40 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

Dry-Rubbed Grilled Chicken:

One 4- to 5-pound whole chicken
3 tablespoons Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Kosher salt

Alabama White Sauce:

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Miss Brown's House Seasoning:

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

For the dry-rubbed grilled chicken: Remove the backbone from the chicken. Cut the chicken through the breastbone into two halves. Stir together the House Seasoning, brown sugar, oregano, paprika, parsley and a couple of pinches of salt in a bowl. Rub under the skin and all over the chicken halves.

Prepare a grill for direct and indirect cooking: Heat one side of the grill to medium heat. Leave the other side unlit.

Place the chicken skin-up on the grates on the unlit side of the grill. Grill, with the lid closed, until the skin begins to brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the lit side of the grill, starting skin-up, and cook until the chicken is done and a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted in the thickest portion of the thigh (avoiding bone), 12 to 15 minutes on each side.

For the Alabama white sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, brown sugar, vinegar, Dijon mustard, horseradish, hot sauce, dry mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.

Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

Miss Brown's House Seasoning:
Yield: 5 teaspoons

Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I have never heard of Alabama white sauce, but after watching her make it I can see why her mom likes it on everything.

You need to post more of Kardea, not just one video every 1-2 months

[RealBigBadJohn]

The rub looks great, except for the oregano. No oregano! Thyme and rosemary instead.

Kardea's mother looks good!The Alabama white sauce looks great but I honestly don’t like any ingredient it contains.

[stevelogan]

Ma'am, very nice recipe young lady, I'm familiar with the white sauce from Bob Gibson's( food network shows), but never had it on ribs, I'll try that, I'm 58 yr old Irishman from rural Kentucky so I'd like some type of sides, maybe seasoned collards, turnip, mustard, etc... some sweet corn on the cob & some hot water cornbread. btw, your Ma is a dear soul & I am like her as I like to try & clean up as I go, God bless you, your Ma, & yours.

[sandraward]

[geraldinebowbia]

Love ❤️ her beautiful lady and her beautiful mama 🙏❤️🥰

[jillmiranda]

You are wonderful and have wonderful dishes. I only have one comment on an episode where you did some Mexican dishes and said that hot sauce was not traditional traditional for Mexico. My husband is a cook and from Mexico. It is VERY traditional in Mexico. He had very hot hot sauce from a child, in southern, central and even in Baja.

Thank you. Love your show.

[lisainnewarknj]

More sauces please. Thank you for your leadership.

[sassysanders]

You and your Mom have great personalities. I want a bite of your

[lauren_holt]

As someone who lives in North Alabama and only thirty minutes from Big Bob Gibson’s, this is definitely different from “traditional” Alabama White Sauce. I ain’t saying it’s wrong though.
