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.
ALABAMA CHICKEN
My most favorite chicken casserole. I got this recipe from a lady who retired from a job that I took over about 26 years ago. When we had office potlucks, I always requested her to make this. Even though we don't live in Alabama, no other name would seem right for this dish!

SLOW COOKER ALABAMA PULLED BBQ CHICKEN
Tender pulled chicken with a southern white sauce. This wonderful pulled chicken has the perfect balance of seasoning with a hint of Alabama BBQ. The sauce is not overly powerful but you can always add more or leave it off and still have a great tasting pulled chicken for sandwiches or plain. I searched and searched for an easy slow cooker pulled chicken recipe that would be similar to a popular BBQ restaurant. I never found one, so here's my own recipe. My family of six loves this. Keep remaining sauce refrigerated until ready to serve. Great to spread on sandwich, lettuce leaf, or drizzle over chicken on plate.

BBQ sauce and bacon are the secrets to the wonderful flavor of the chicken in this sandwich. Add avocado and cheese, and how can you go wrong? Makes a hearty lunch by itself or serve with salad or french fries for a delicious dinner.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and free of any blemishes. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the easiest to work with.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning or sticking to the pan.
- Use a cooking thermometer to ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the chicken breasts on a bun with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, and cheese.
