Description

This Cajun Grilled Chicken with Alabama White Sauce is a flavorful Southern-inspired dish featuring tender, juicy chicken breasts seasoned with a robust Cajun spice blend and grilled to perfection. The unique Alabama white sauce—a tangy, creamy concoction made with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, horseradish, and spices—adds a spicy, zesty finish that complements the smoky grilled chicken beautifully. Perfect for a summer barbecue or any occasion where you crave bold, smoky, and slightly spicy flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Alabama White Sauce

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure even cooking and a nice char on the chicken.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each breast with olive oil to help the seasoning stick and promote browning.
  3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast evenly on both sides with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Make the Alabama White Sauce: While the chicken cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt in a bowl until smooth and well combined.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
  7. Serve: Serve the grilled chicken hot, either drizzled with Alabama white sauce or with the sauce on the side for dipping for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • This dish pairs exceptionally well with classic Southern sides such as cornbread, coleslaw, or grilled vegetables.
  • Leftover Alabama white sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
