Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Remove the skin from the chicken pieces if necessary. Pat them dry using paper towels.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and lemon juice. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and ensure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3: Prepare the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has beautiful grill marks.

Step 5: Make the Alabama White Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, pepper, and other possible seasonings. Whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6: Serve the Chicken

Once the chicken is grilled to perfection, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with Alabama white sauce drizzled over the top.

Notes

Note 1: Choosing Chicken Cuts

Consider using bone-in chicken pieces for more flavor; breasts can also work but may dry out if overcooked.

Note 2: Adjusting Spice Level

If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning, or opt for a mild version.

Note 3: Storage

Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
