ingredients

• For the brine

• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1⁄4 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1⁄2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1⁄2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts

• Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q White Sauce

• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1⁄2 cup apple juice
• 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

directions

1. Make the Sauce: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and blend well. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
2. Brine the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the brine ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they are completely covered. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove the chicken breasts from the brine and wipe off the excess salt.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to 400 degrees. Place the chicken breasts on the grate directly over the heat and grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. The internal temperature of the chicken breasts should be 160 degrees.
4. Submerge each chicken breast into a bowl of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q White Sauce. Remove from the sauce and serve.
