What makes this sauce different from all the other BBQ sauces out there, you ask? Well, down in Alabama, they prefer a white BBQ sauce that’s on the creamier side, using mayo as a base for a bold blend of garlic, spices, vinegar and honey. You’ll mix it up yourself and drizzle it over seared chicken breasts—certified organic, so they’re better for you and the environment—liberally dosed in smoky spices, wedges of oven-roasted potatoes and blanched green beans in a garlic-scallion vinaigrette.

Preparation
Roast the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 20 to 25 min., until browned and tender.
Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with all but a pinch of the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the chicken* and cook, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the stem ends of the green beans. Mince the garlic. Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top.
Blanch the green beans & make the salad
Add the green beans to the pot of boiling water and boil, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Once cool, drain and pat dry with paper towel. In the same bowl, combine the white bottom of the scallion, ⅓ of the vinegar, up to ½ the garlic (add a pinch for a milder flavour), a drizzle of oil and S&P. Add the green beans; toss well.
Make the Alabama-style BBQ sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, honey, remaining vinegar (start with ½) and spices, remaining garlic (omit for a milder flavour), 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the potatoes, salad and chicken between your plates. Drizzle the chicken with a spoonful of the Alabama-style BBQ sauce. Garnish with the green top of the scallion. Serve the remaining Alabama-style BBQ sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
