# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Cajun Grilled Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Black pepper, to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

→ Alabama White Sauce

11 - 1 cup mayonnaise
12 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
13 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
14 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
15 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
16 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
17 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
18 - Salt, to taste
19 - Black pepper, to taste
20 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C). In a small bowl, mix Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and coat them generously with the spice mixture. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
02 - Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
04 - Serve the grilled chicken with the Alabama white sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For a milder version, reduce the cayenne pepper in both the chicken rub and the white sauce.
02 - If you don’t have a grill, use a stovetop griddle or bake the chicken in the oven at 200°C for 20-25 minutes.
03 - Add herbs like thyme or cilantro to the rub or sauce for a fresh twist.
