SMOKY DRY-RUBBED GRILLED CHICKEN WITH ALABAMA WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the dry-rubbed grilled chicken: Remove the backbone from the chicken. Cut the chicken through the breastbone into two halves. Stir together the House Seasoning, brown sugar, oregano, paprika, parsley and a couple of pinches of salt in a bowl. Rub under the skin and all over the chicken halves.
• Prepare a grill for direct and indirect cooking: Heat one side of the grill to medium heat. Leave the other side unlit.
• Place the chicken skin-up on the grates on the unlit side of the grill. Grill, with the lid closed, until the skin begins to brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the lit side of the grill, starting skin-up, and cook until the chicken is done and a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted in the thickest portion of the thigh (avoiding bone), 12 to 15 minutes on each side.
• For the Alabama white sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, brown sugar, vinegar, Dijon mustard, horseradish, hot sauce, dry mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

SMOKE-ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Build a fire in a grill with a cover, leaving about 1/3 of the grill free of coals. If using a gas grill, make sure one side of the grill is unheated, and either swap out the paprika above for the smoked version known as pimenton de la vera or wrap two small mounds of moistened wood chips in heavy aluminum foil and pierce the tops of the packets with the tines of a fork.
• In a bowl, combine the paprikas, honey, lemon juice, garlic and butter and stir to make a paste. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then coat thoroughly by hand with the spice paste.
• Place chicken on cooler side of grill and cover. If using wood chips, place the foil packets, pierced side up, on the hotter side of the grill and cover. Roast chicken for 15 minutes, turn, cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, or until cooked through.
• Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges, sprinkled with mint leaves.
