Great BBQ Chicken
BBQing chicken is a favorite of many households. The Alabama White BBQ chicken sauce will give your chicken a brand-new flavor and may become the favorite for everyone.
Even if you or your family do not like eating the skin of the chicken, it is best to keep the skin on while grilling. This way your chicken breasts will not dry out while cooking.
Preheat the grill on high, but when you are placing the chicken on the racks, turn your grill down to medium or medium-low. Chicken is best cooked slowly.
Put some nice deep slits in your chicken before putting it on the grill. Cook your chicken for the first 5 or 6 minutes with the skin side down on the grill.
Turn your chicken, and put on the white chicken sauce. Let it get into the slits that you have made. Every 5 or 6 minutes, baste your chicken with your white sauce. Once you have the nice brown grill marks on the chicken skin, do not turn them over. Keeping the chicken skin side up will allow for all that favorable white sauce to soak into the chicken and not burn.
Turn your grill down to low and let the chicken cook slowly. Keep basting the chicken until the chicken has been cooking at least 35 minutes. It will depend on how big of a chicken you use as to how long you will need to keep the chicken on the grill. If the breasts of the chicken are big then you may want to put them on first. If you are using a 5- or 6-pound chicken, it will take longer to cook, about an hour.
Pulled Pork Without a Smoker
Not everyone has a smoker, but anyone can do a delicious pork shoulder right on their grill. If you have a smoker, set it up for an 8-hour smoke.
Using a long burning wood chip and charcoal, arrange the two together around the walls of your grill. Whether you have the smoker or not you will need to soak your wood chips for at least a half hour. Hickory is usually used, but there are other flavors like Apple and more.
Pick out a nice 7- or 8-pound pork shoulder and trim off any extra fat and the fat cap. Leave some fat for flavoring. Cover your pork with the Alabama White sauce.
Place your seasoned pork shoulder on the top rack of your grill. Cover and bring your grill up to 225 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Use your vents to control the temperature. Get an oven thermometer to place on the grill grates so you can check the temperature. Add more charcoal and soaked wood chips to keep the temperature and smoke going properly. Baste each time you check the temperature.
You will want the internal temperature of your pork to be 205 degrees F. When you are confident that the meat is done, use some barbecue gloves to take it off the grill instead of tongs. The tongs will pull your meat apart.
Let your pork stand for about 15 minutes so the juices settle back into the layers of the meat. Pull the pork apart with two forks to make separate strands of the pork. Mix the interior and exterior strands of the meat together. This way you will get that great flavor of the Alabama white sauce throughout your pulled pork.

Mashed Red Potatoes
