Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika until smooth. Reserve half of the sauce for serving later.

  2. 2

    Place the chicken quarters in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using charcoal, arrange the coals for indirect grilling.

  4. 4

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess sauce drip off. Discard the marinade.

  5. 5

    Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken quarters skin-side down on the grill.

  6. 6

    Grill the chicken for about 10-12 minutes, then flip and continue grilling for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy.

  7. 7

    During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved Alabama white sauce over the chicken for added flavor.

  8. 8

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the remaining Alabama white sauce on the side.
