Method
Method
Make the alabama white sauce around 1-2 hours before cooking the chicken. Combine all ingredients apart from the parsley in a bowl and whisk until well mixed.
Stir through the parsley and set aside
Spatchcock the chicken, rub with olive oil and coat with rub. Leave to sit in the fridge for at least an hour.
Set the BBQ up for indirect with the deflector plates in (if required). Bring temp up to around 180°C
Put the chicken on to cook and add some pellets to the feeder or a small piece of smoking wood to the coals. This will give a nice mellow smoke and a good colour on the chicken.
Cook the chicken until it gets an internal temperature of 74°C, this will take around an hour.
Serve portions of chicken on top of the hominy

After tasting it at the Big Grill in Dublin with hominy grits we just knew we had to give it a go.
It was also the perfect chance to try out the smoke pellet feeder on the Monolith
The hominy is dried corn and in America it is also known as grits, it was served in a cheese, leek and bacon sauce. Chris Lilly put jalapenos in his cheese sauce in Dublin
