Alabama Smoked Chicken

[disco]

I had friends coming over and wanted to make a couple of chickens. As I was doing two, I felt like I could risk an experiment. I made some Alabama Q Sauce by mixing together the following:

• 250 ml (1 cup) mayonnaise
• 20 ml (4 tsp) apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 5 ml (1 tsp) Dijon mustard
• 10 ml (2 tsp) sugar
• 5 ml (1 tsp) prepared horseradish
• 3 ml (1/2 tsp) lemon juice
• 2 dashes Tabasco sauce
• 3 ml (1/2 tsp) Worcestershire Sauce
• 1.5 ml (1/4 tsp) onion powder

I spatchcocked the chicken and gave it a rub of Creole spices on the skin and under the breast and thigh skin. I put it on a 350 F pellet smoker and smoked to an internal temperature of 165 F.

I brushed with the Q sauce and cooked for another 20 to 30 minutes. I let the chicken rest for 10 minutes an cut it into serving size pieces.

The Verdict

This tastes great but the white sauce gave the skin a lighter colour. My company loved and didn't find the colour a problem as the skin was tasty. I served it with Q sauce in a bowl and it was spooned over the pieces and thoroughly enjoyed!

I did two chickens. The second was done with Koss Sauce and is therefore darker. I will post that chicken tomorrow or the next day.

Point for sure.
