CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH WHITE SAUCE



Ingredients
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup prepared horseradish (this is optional but available at major supermarkets, in the sauces section)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (available at supermarkets)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 21/4 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon celery seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 whole chicken, quatered
  • 8 white or brown hamburger buns (toasted if you prefer)
  • Pickles and gherkins, for serving (available at big supermarkets)

Method
  1. In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, horseradish, vinegar, sugar, 3 teaspoons salt, 11/2 teaspoon pepper and cayenne together.
  2. Place half the sauce in another bowl; set one aside for basing and one for serving.
  3. Mix remaining salt and pepper with paprika, garlic powder, celery seeds, cumin and coriander in a bowl; set this rub aside.
  4. Prepare your grill if using the oven or charcoal jiko. Wash the chicken, pat dry with a kitchen towel then season with the rub mixture you had set aside.
  5. Place it, skin side up, on the grill grate. Maintaining a temperature of 255o-250o (if using a jiko, ensure that the fire is not blazing so that the meat cooks through properly).
  6. Cook turning often and basting chicken with sauce every 20 minutes, until a fork inserted in the thigh leaves no liquid coming out of the thigh (about 45 minutes).
  7. Remove chicken from grill; set aside, covered loosely with foil, for 10 minutes.
  8. When it has cooled sufficiently, shred the chicken meat only with a fork, discarding the bones and skin.
  9. Divide chicken strips among the buns and top with the remaining sauce and pickle chips
