Alabama Bbq Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Spread onion out in the bottom of a slow cooker. Whisk 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, and poultry seasoning together in a small bowl.
• Place garlic cloves inside chicken cavity, brush chicken all over with melted butter, and sprinkle paprika mixture all over chicken. Place chicken, breast-side up, into slow cooker. Pour water into slow cooker and sprinkle liquid smoke over chicken.
• Cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook for 8 hours. Remove meat from bones, shred meat with two forks, cut onions in half, and return meat and onions to slow cooker.
• While chicken is cooking, whisk mayonnaise, cider vinegar, white sugar, remaining salt, remaining black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 1 hour.
• Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons sauce over chicken mixture and continue cooking on Low for 1 hour.

Steps:

• Butter and toast the burger bun. Pile on the chicken, cole slaw, sauce and pickles and enjoy!
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a bowl and whisk until incorporated. Sprinkle over chicken and rub evenly (save remainder of the rub for another use).
• Put chicken in pan with a lid and roast, covered, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Let chicken rest 15 minutes, then remove skin and set aside. Pick meat from the bones into bite-size pieces. Chop skin and mix with the chicken.
• Place mayonnaise, pepper sauce, sugar, garlic powder and black pepper in a bowl and whisk until incorporated. Refrigerate to chill about 20 minutes. Add the cabbages and carrots and mix with hands until coated.
• Place mayonnaise, horseradish, vinegar, pepper, salt, sugar and cayenne in a bowl and whisk until incorporated.

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.

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.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place the chicken skin in a single layer in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the skin over low heat, flipping once, until it crisps up, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, shred the chicken meat into bite-size pieces into a large bowl. Reserve the wings to nibble on or for another use.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, pepper and salt to taste. Add the dressing to the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to let the dressing soak into the chicken.
• For the pickle slaw: In a medium bowl, add the cabbage, celery salt, sugar, hot sauce, if using, pickles and pickle brine, and carrot. Toss together to mix well. Taste and the adjust seasonings and set aside.
• Preheat a griddle pan over medium-low heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Cook the buttered sides on the griddle until toasted and golden, about 4 minutes.
• Top the unbuttered sides of 4 slices of the toast with the crispy chicken skin, then top with the chicken and pickle slaw. Top each sandwich with a slice of bread with the buttered-side up. Serve.

Steps:

• For the BBQ Sauce:
• Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before using. Reserve a ramekin full of sauce, about 1/2 cup, to serve on the side.
• For the chicken:
• Preheat half of the grill to medium-high heat and the other half to low heat. Using tongs, dip a folded towel into olive oil and wipe over the grill grate.
• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken, skin side down, on the hottest area of the grill. Grill until seared and golden brown and crisp on each side, about 5 minutes. Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill and brush with barbecue sauce. Continue to cook until the juices run clear, about 20 to 25 minutes. Do not forget to flip the chicken halfway through its cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve with sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, lemon juice, black pepper, mustard, salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Whisk together thoroughly until creamy and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• For the sauce, mix all ingredients in blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Refrigerate sauce in airtight container for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
• For the chicken, mix salt, black pepper, and cayenne in small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over chicken.
• Soak wood chips in bowl of water to cover for 15 minutes. Meanwhile open bottom grill vents completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (about 90 coals) and burn until charcoal is covered with fine gray ash. Place 13 by 9 inch disposable aluminum roasting pan in center of grill. Pour half of coals into pile on each side of grill, leaving pan in the center. Scatter wood chips over coals and set cooking grate in place. Cover with lid vents positioned over center of grill and opened halfway. Let grill heat for 5 minutes.
• Dip wad of paper towels in oil and oil grate, holding paper towels with long-handled tongs. Place chicken skin side down on center of grill. Cover with half opened lid vents over chicken.
• Grill chickens until skin is well browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Flip chickens skin side up and grill, covered, until breast meat registers 165* on instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
• Transfer chickens to cutting board, brush with 2 tablespoons sauce, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Remove foil and brush chicken with 1 tablespoon sauce.
• Carve and serve, passing remaining sauce at table.
