Worthy of a Special Occasion

The chicken is seared over direct heat then moved to the cooler side of the grill. If using a charcoal grill, stack the coals on the right side of the grill.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 breast half and about 2 tablespoons sauce)

Ingredients

  • Chicken:
  • 8  (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breast halves
  • 1  teaspoon  salt
  • 1  teaspoon  onion powder
  • 1  teaspoon  garlic powder
  • 1  teaspoon  paprika
  • 1  teaspoon  chipotle chile powder
  • Cooking spray

  • Sauce:
  • 1/2  cup  light mayonnaise
  • 1/3  cup  white vinegar
  • 1  tablespoon  coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/2  teaspoon  ground red pepper
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  fresh lemon juice
  • Dash of salt

Preparation

Preheat grill to medium-hot using both burners.

To prepare chicken, loosen skin from breasts by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Combine salt and next 4 ingredients (salt through chile powder); rub under loosened skin.

Turn left burner off (leave right burner on). Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Place chicken on grill rack over right burner; grill 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Move chicken to grill rack over left burner. Cover and cook 35 minutes or until done, turning once. Remove chicken from grill; discard skin.

To prepare sauce, combine mayonnaise and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Serve with chicken.

My entire family loved this recipe. I used boneless chicken and basted the sauce when chicken was almost cooked. If you think the sauce is too acidic, add more may or sour cream. The chicken came out very moist and flavorful. I will definitely make this again.05/24/09

Made this chicken dish as an alternative to burgers and hot dogs this Memorial Day. It got rave revues! It was so good I made it again the next night! The white barbecue sauce makes it really good (little spicy but good)! Will definitely make again.05/26/08
