Ingredients

• 4 lbs chicken drumsticks or thighs
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1.5 tsp horseradish (prepared)
• 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp white sugar
• 1 tsp black pepper (for sauce)
• 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp water (optional, to thin sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the chicken drumsticks or thighs. Place them in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a paste-like marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over the chicken pieces, ensuring they’re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 4

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Alabama white sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, Dijon mustard, sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly grease the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness). Turn the chicken occasionally to prevent burning and to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Serve the grilled chicken hot with Alabama white sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
