Barbecue chicken with alabama white sauce

Chicken second courses

We just got back from dropping the Southern daughter off at college in beautiful Clemson, South Carolina. She's a senior now, but as all of you mamas with college kids know, one of the realities of dropping your babies off at college is that it Never Gets Easier. Amid all of the packing and unpacking and trips to Walmart, there is this catch in your throat, and you immediately forget every naughty thing they have ever done and said because they are your baby and you are having to soak up every last glimpse of them right up until the moment you fiercely hug them goodbye. And in the meantime if you are lucky enough to be sending them to Clemson, you eat some pretty fabulous barbecue. Which immediately makes me want to make barbecue. You'd think I would be able to come up with a South Carolina version, but this chicken barbecue with Alabama white sauce? It's ridiculously good.
