Herb Chicken Thighs with White Barbecue Sauce

  Chicken and Turkey, Game Day Grilling

January 12, 2016

Prepare yourself for a juicy treat of chicken thighs rich with herbs! The herb mixture grills dark to crispy perfection. The white sauce for dipping and dabbling adds a beautiful pop of flavor that compliments the spicy herbs. This recipe is from a Southern Living. My wife cut it out several years ago. It has become a staple around our house as has the white sauce. NOTE: The white sauce is a versatile condiment that we save and savor with flank steak, burgers, and even as a substitute for mayonnaise on a sandwich- its that good. It was developed by Test Kitchens Professional Pam Lolley.

• Prep: 5 mins
• Cook: 30 mins
• Yields: 5 Servings

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. dried thyme

1 Tbsp. dried oregano

1 Tbsp. ground cumin

1 Tbsp. paprika

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

10 chicken thighs (about 3lb.)

WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE:

Makes 1 3/4 Cups

Prep Time: 10 min, Chill 2 hours.

1 1/2 cups mayonannaise

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1 garlic clove, minced

1 Tbsp. coarse ground pepper

1 Tbsp. spicy brown mustard

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. horseradish

Directions

11. Combine first 7 ingredients. Rinse chicken, and pat dry; rub mixture evenly over chicken. Place chicken in a zip-loc freezer bag. Seal and chill 4 hours.

22. Place all ingredients for white barbecue sauce in a mixing bowl and whisk together. Refrigerate until ready for use.

33. Preheat grill to medium low, about 400 degrees at the GrillGrate surface.

44. Remove chicken from zip-loc bag and place on grill. Discard bag.

55. Grill over MED/LOW heat (350-400F) 10-15 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 170F. Skin will blacken more than normal with the herb crust.

66. Brush chicken with barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of grilling. Serve with extra sauce for dipping.

   Just grilled this recipe tonight, they turned out fantastic! The herbs definitely made the skin deliciously crispy and the sauce was incredible. I added a small amount of mesquite, cherry and apple woods for some added flavor during the cook.

   This recipe made me want to use the same seasoning to make wings, and use the white sauce as a dip. Cheers, keep the grate recipes coming!

   It doesn’t say when to use the horseradish.
