Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mayonnaise for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper for Alabama White Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat, for Alabama White Sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Alabama white sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken with a generous drizzle of Alabama white sauce on top or on the side for dipping.
