The sauce is Mayonnaise based. Think of an Aioli and you will be close. It has been made famous by Chris Lilly owner and celebrity cook of Big Bob Gibson BBQ joint in Alabama. I did a little research and found several versions of this recipe, actually more than one version credited to Chris himself. So I took a little of this recipe and a little of that one and came up with a version I liked best. My main contribution of the legend is the extra Cajun Spices. Mayo on turkey is just fine for a sandwich. As a serving sauce, I like the extra kick.
The name, Baptized Chicken, I borrowed from my blogging buddy (Cookbook author, competitive smoker, grill master and all around nice guy), Chris Grove of the Nibble me This Grilling and Smoking specialty blog. As the name implies, the chicken is dunked into the sauce. You can go the total immersion route (I use this sauce for chicken wings sometimes; a great total immersion opportunity).
The chicken quarters shown are more sprinkled (liberally). Pour a little on,. brush around and you have the look and proper amount of spice! You can certainly make chicken yourself (broil, fry, bake). Me, I used the leg quarters from a store bought pre-cooked, pre-seasoned Rotisserie Chicken. Used the breast meat for some chicken salad and served these up for an evening meal.
Unlike most DIY BBQ sauces, this is a make fresh, store in fridge and use up in a week sauce. SO, once I make a jar, I usually have a serving of wings a few days latter. I also used some for the corn salsa shown above. Adds a a nice little zing! Come back tomorrow for that easy to follow recipe!
But at least on this day, As for me and my house we will serve... Baptized Chicken!
