Is My Blog Burning?

No, its just the BBQ.

One of my favorite, go-to summer recipes is my White BBQ Chicken. This dish is not for those who can't take the heat but it does require you to get out of the kitchen!

Ingredients:

Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chile powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Sauce:
1/2 cup light mayo
1/3 cup vinegar
1 T fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Zest of one lemon and 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt to taste

Method:

Combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chile powder and cayenne pepper. Trim chicken of visible fat, place on a clean, dry surface and pat dry. Rub all sides of the chicken breast with the spice mixture, cover with plasitc wrap and place in the refrigerator. Let the rub sit on the chicken for at least 4 hours. I usually put the rub on the night before I plan on serving it.

Preheat grill on high. Place chicken on grill and turn temperature down to medium and cook approximately 4 minutes per side (this varies depending on the grill and size of the chicken breast).

While the chicken cooks prepare the sauce. Whisk together the mayo, white vinegar, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice and sauce. Finish the chicken on the grill by brushing both sides with the sauce. Remove chicken from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Place on platter and drizzle with white bbq sauce.

Happy Grilling!
