SMOKY DRY-RUBBED GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ALABAMA WHITE SAUCE
My mom's favorite barbecue sauce is Alabama white sauce, and it's ideal to serve with my spice-rubbed grilled chicken. The chicken halves are cooked first low and slow over indirect heat to infuse that smoky flavor from the grill into the meat. After a quick char over the flames at the end, the chicken is juicy, tender, and oh so good.

- For the dry-rubbed grilled chicken: Remove the backbone from the chicken. Cut the chicken through the breastbone into two halves. Stir together the House Seasoning, brown sugar, oregano, paprika, parsley and a couple of pinches of salt in a bowl. Rub under the skin and all over the chicken halves.
- Prepare a grill for direct and indirect cooking: Heat one side of the grill to medium heat. Leave the other side unlit.

- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check that the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- To make sure that the cream sauce is smooth and lump-free, whisk the cornstarch and milk together in a small bowl before adding it to the saucepan.
- If you want to add more flavor to the cream sauce, you can add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, a teaspoon of dried thyme, or a quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve the grilled chicken with cream sauce over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
