Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time18 minutes
Total Time1 hour 38 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Alabama white sauce
  • 4 chicken thighs skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chives snipped, for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Alabama white sauce and chill it for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days before serving.
  • Trim excess fat if desired and cut each skin-on chicken thigh into strips, keeping pieces roughly equal so they cook evenly.
  • Thread the chicken strips onto 5 skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even heat circulation.
  • Brush the skewered chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season evenly with Kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the skewers over direct heat and grill, turning occasionally, until the skin is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, about 12–15 minutes.
  • Brush some Alabama white sauce over the chicken and grill 1 minute, flip the skewers, brush more sauce, and grill another minute; then remove from the grill.
  • Garnish with snipped chives and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately with remaining white sauce on the side.

Equipment

  • skewers (5), wooden or metal
  • grill (gas, charcoal, or electric)
