White BBQ Chicken

After a long delay -- I'm back! This is a very simple marinade / sauce that's quite different from a normal red barbecue sauce. The recipe is from The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, which is one of my all-time favorites.

In a glass 2-cup measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together:

  1. 3/4 c mayonaise (store bought is fine)
  2. 1.5 oz (3 T) cider vinegar (white works but has less flavor)
  3. juice of one lemon*
  4. 1 T sugar
  5. 1 T fresh-ground black pepper
  6. 1 T white wine Worcestershire sauce ("for fish or chicken")

Save half the sauce for dipping the cooked chicken. Put the other half in a big zip bag with 2 - 4 chicken breasts, and marinate the whole thing in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Cook chicken as desired -- on the grill, in a skillet, etc. -- and serve with reserved sauce.

* That's about 1 oz. (2 T). And no, you may NOT substitute that stuff in the plastic fruit, or the stuff in the glass bottle. Go get a real lemon.
