Prepare the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts evenly and let marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat Grill:
Heat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Grill the Chicken:
Place chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare Alabama White Sauce:
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, horseradish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth.
Serve:
Remove chicken from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve drizzled with Alabama white sauce or serve sauce on the side.
Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor.
Adjust spice level by modifying Cajun seasoning and cayenne.
Leftover sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
