How to Make Alabama White Barbecue
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or smoker to 250°F (121°C).
- Place the marinated chicken on the grill or smoker and cook for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade every 30 minutes for added flavor and moisture.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve the Alabama White BBQ chicken immediately, enjoying the creamy, tangy, and smoky goodness!
