Alabama Barbecue Chicken with White Sauce

By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

At our target temperature, it should take the average chicken about 3 hours to cook. This means that after about 1 1/2 hours you will need to flip the chicken over. If like me, you are working on a smaller grill, rotate the chicken in between these times or about 45 minutes after you put it on and about 45 minutes after you flip the chicken. This will help ensure an even cooking.

While flipping the chicken over, you might want to baste the chicken with a little more oil and add some additional salt and pepper to replace what has cooked off. If you want more of a smoky flavor to the chicken you can also add some additional wood chunks. Either way this is a good time to check on the fire and make sure you have enough coals to see you through the next 1 1/2 hours. If you need to light more charcoal do it in a charcoal chimney. Never put unlit charcoal on a live fire. It creates a bad tasting smoke and can get dust on your food.
