Steps:
- For the chicken: Place the chicken skin in a single layer in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the skin over low heat, flipping once, until it crisps up, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, shred the chicken meat into bite-size pieces into a large bowl. Reserve the wings to nibble on or for another use.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, pepper and salt to taste. Add the dressing to the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to let the dressing soak into the chicken.
- For the pickle slaw: In a medium bowl, add the cabbage, celery salt, sugar, hot sauce, if using, pickles and pickle brine, and carrot. Toss together to mix well. Taste and the adjust seasonings and set aside.
- Preheat a griddle pan over medium-low heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Cook the buttered sides on the griddle until toasted and golden, about 4 minutes.
- Top the unbuttered sides of 4 slices of the toast with the crispy chicken skin, then top with the chicken and pickle slaw. Top each sandwich with a slice of bread with the buttered-side up. Serve.

Steps:
- Mix the sugar, salt and 3 quarts (12 cups) water together in a large plastic or stainless steel vessel. Add the chicken quarters to the mixture and let brine, refrigerated, for at least 2 hours.
- Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Remove the chicken from the brine, pat dry with paper towels and then set on the wire rack for at least 1 hour at room temperature, though it is ideal to do this step overnight in the refrigerator. (If you decide to refrigerate it overnight, be sure to bring the chicken to room temperature for about an hour before grilling.)
- Heat a grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F). In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the cornstarch and vegetable oil.
- Grill the chicken skin-side down for 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure the skin doesn't burn. Flip the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Remove and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Serve with Alabama White BBQ Sauce.
- Stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, mustard and pepper in a medium bowl. Season with salt. Serve with grilled chicken.
ALABAMA CHICKEN
YUMMMMYYYY!! This is similar to a recipe I had years ago for German Stewed Chicken. I lost the recipe and this is the closest thing I have found that resembles it. It is really good and makes quite alot. The combination of different flavors makes for a very different and tasty chicken casserole. Enjoy! Guesstimate on prep and cooking times which includes cooking the chicken and the noodles.
