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.
ALABAMA BBQ CHICKEN AND WHITE SAUCE (GRILLED)
Had this at a friend's house this weekend and it was great. Very different. She used a "Green Egg Smoker" which cooked the chicken slowly and kept it very moist. You can use boneless, skinless breasts and then serve them on nice bread with lettuce leaves, pickles (if you like) and the white sauce! My friend got the recipe from "Smoke and Spice" and this is a similar one from The BBQ General website from a magazine called Cook's Country. Hope you like it. I don't have a smoker but I can try indirect heating. I have a gas grill too so there are obstacles but I can experiment!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay out the chicken thighs in a single layer. Season with salt.
- 2. Mix the ingredients for the Alabama white BBQ sauce together until smooth. Brush both sides of chicken with sauce.
- 3. Bake the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes until done brushing with sauce. Can grill chicken also.
- 4. While chicken is baking. Place the oil in a saucepan and get it hot. Place the sage leaves in the hot oil swirl and immediately remove with slotted spoon to paper towel to drain. If the oil is hot they won't take long to cook and they can be easily burned.
- 5. Garnish the cooked chicken with the fried sage and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken breasts. If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into 8-10 pieces.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours, but 4-8 hours is ideal.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, place the coals on one side of the grill and the chicken on the other side. If you're using a gas grill, turn off one of the burners and place the chicken over the unlit burner.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade or sauce: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Baste the chicken every 20-30 minutes.
- Cook the chicken until it is done: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Alabama BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then cooked over indirect heat until it is fall-off-the-bone tender. The result is a moist and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at your table.
