White Barbecue Chicken Food

WHITE BARBECUE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare a double batch of the White Barbecue Sauce, recipe here. Use two cups as the marinade and reserve one cup to cook the chicken and one cup to serve on the side.
• Place the four breasts in a gallon zip lock bag with two cups of the White Barbecue Sauce and marinate four hours or overnight.
• Heat grill to high.
• Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade. Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
• Brush three tablespoons of olive oil over the skin and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Place skin down on the hot grill and cook two to three minutes just to give grill marks. Brush the back side with the remaining oil and flip. Cook two minutes.
• Move the chicken to an upper rack or a cooler side of the grill, skin up and lower the temperature to medium. The internal grill heat with cover closed should hover around 425 degrees F.
• Take the one cup of White Barbecue Sauce and brush a small amount onto the tops of the breasts. Cover grill and wait five minutes. Brush again and again close the lid and time five minutes.
• Do this one more time. (Each time you do this, the sauce cooks into the chicken and eventually the tops get crispy and caramelized.)
• After the final sauce goes on, cover the grill and cook another 10-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches between 160 and 162 degrees F, using a probe thermometer. (The internal temp of the chicken should rise to 165 degrees F as it rests.) Total cooking time should be about 30 minutes but your time may vary based on the size of the breast.
• Remove to a platter, brush a little of the remaining sauce on top and let rest five minutes.
• Serve with the reserved cup of White Barbecue Sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ALABAMA WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the chicken: In a pot large enough to hold the chicken, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup salt and 2 cups cold water. Stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Pour in the beer and add the garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Submerge the chicken in the brine. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• For the Alabama white barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, sugar and Worcestershire in a medium bowl until smooth. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, hot sauce to taste and a liberal grinding of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to cook the chicken. (Can be made a day ahead, along with the chicken brine.)
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect grilling. Drain and rinse the chicken and pat very dry. Season the chicken lightly with salt and more liberally with black pepper. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil and lay the chicken, bone-side down, on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover and cook until the skin is golden and the chicken is about three-quarters cooked (130 to 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer), 20 to 25 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces so they are skin-side down and continue indirect grilling until the chicken is cooked through and reads 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 15 minutes more.
• Brush the chicken all over with some of the Alabama white barbecue sauce and move the chicken, skin-side down, to the direct heat side of the grill. Grill just until the skin crisps, about 3 minutes, moving as necessary to keep it from burning. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve the remaining Alabama white sauce on the side for dipping.

PULLED BARBECUED CHICKEN ON A GRILL

Steps:

• If you choose to brine your chicken, combine the salt, sugar, and water in a plastic bowl and stir until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Place the whole chicken in a plastic bowl or container large enough to fit the whole bird with a little room to spare. Pour the brine over making sure the chicken is completely submerged. (The amount of brine might need to be doubled.) Brine the chicken for 4 to 6 hours. Then remove the chicken from the brine, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place one of the aluminum pans on the coal grate next to the burning coals, but not on the coals. This is the drip pan that helps to keep the grill clean and prevents any dripping fat from reaching the fire which can cause flare-ups. Add wood chunks to the coals, spreading them around evenly over the fire. Large chunks of hardwood are ideal. There is no need to moisten them. Now replace the cooking grate and put the second aluminum pan directly over the fire. Fill that pan with water and put the lid on the grill.
• Heat the grill to 250 F to 275 F/120 C to 135 C and then adjust the vents on the grill to hold that temperature. While the grill is heating up, take the chicken out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature. Once the grill is ready, place the chicken, breast-side up, on the grill grates directly over the drip pan on the coals and next to the pan of water on the grate.
• After the chicken has rested for 15 minutes, it's time to start shredding the meat. This is best done with a pair of insulated food gloves so the hot chicken can be easily handled. It is something of a messy job, so a large, clean workspace is needed.
• To keep the meat warm, place it in a large pot over a low flame, tossing occasionally, or if you are going to be eating later, a slow cooker on the warm setting works well. Once the shredded chicken is warmed, add your desired barbecue sauce , tossing to evenly coat. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the sugar, salt and 3 quarts (12 cups) water together in a large plastic or stainless steel vessel. Add the chicken quarters to the mixture and let brine, refrigerated, for at least 2 hours.
• Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry with paper towels and then set on the wire rack for at least 1 hour at room temperature, though it is ideal to do this step overnight in the refrigerator. (If you decide to refrigerate it overnight, be sure to bring the chicken to room temperature for about an hour before grilling.)
• Heat a grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F). In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the cornstarch and vegetable oil.
• Grill the chicken skin-side down for 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure the skin doesn't burn. Flip the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Remove and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Serve with Alabama White BBQ Sauce.
• Stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, mustard and pepper in a medium bowl. Season with salt. Serve with grilled chicken.
