Chicken Preparation
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.

Make the White BBQ Sauce
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Grill the Chicken
- Place the chicken skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 7-10 minutes on each side, turning halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Once cooked, dip each piece of chicken into the white BBQ sauce, ensuring a thorough coating. Return to the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes to set the sauce.
Serving & Storage
