Recipe Preparation
  • Chicken, whole
  • BBQ rub
  • Mayonnaise
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Brown sugar
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Horseradish
  • Dijon mustard
  • Black pepper
Step Description
1
To prep the chicken, use the spatchcock method. Remove the backbone using a pair of kitchen shears, then flip over and crack the breastbone. Split the chicken in half with a sharp knife.
2
Season the chicken with your favorite BBQ rub. Insert a probe of the ThermoPro TP970 TempSpike Plus Wireless Meat Thermometer into the chicken meat to accurately monitor its internal temperature during the cooking process.
3
Get your smoker up to 275°F (135°C), put in your chicken, and let it cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4
For the Alabama White Sauce, add to a bowl mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Mix together and let chill in the fridge.
5
Once the TempSpike Plus tells you that the target temperature has been reached, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest.
6
To apply the white sauce, you have the option of submerging the chicken entirely or drizzling it on top.
