"In 'Summer Gatherings' by Rick Rodgers"
Ingredients
Rosemary White Barbecue Sauce
1 1/3 cups
mayonnaise
1
lemon, zest of
1/2 cup
fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons
chopped fresh rosemary
2
garlic cloves, crushed through a press
Chicken
2 (4 lb)
whole chickens, each cut into 8 serving pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons
salt
1/2 teaspoon
fresh ground black pepper
Directions
To make the sauce, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, and garlic together .
Build a fire for indirect grilling in an outdoor grill.
For a charcoal grill, leave the coals heaped in a mound in the center.
For a gas grill, preheat on high, then leave one burner on high and turn the other burners off.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Lightly oil the cooking grate.
Place the chicken on the unheated areas of the grill (that is, on the perimeter around, but not over, the coals in the charcoal grill, or over the off burners of the gas grill).
Cover and grill for 20 minutes.
Turn the chicken, cover, and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reads 165°, about 20 minutes more.
Move the chicken to the hot area of the grill.
Brush the chicken all over with the mayonnaise mixture.
Grill, turning and basting occasionally with the remaining mayonnaise mixture, until the mayonnaise has reduced to a mostly transparent glaze, 3-5 minutes.
Transfer to a platter and serve hot, with the remaining sauce passed on the side.
