Barbecue chicken is chicken parts seasoned and coated in a barbecue sauce, then grilled or smoked. Styles vary from region to region. In North America, barbecue chicken is often seasoned with a dry rub, then coated with a tomato based barbecue sauce, and grilled. In much of Europe, they marinate their chicken in a vinegar and oil mixture, almost like a vinaigrette, then grill it and serve it with a cream sauce. In Asia, chicken is sometimes cubed and marinated in a spiced soy-based sauce, then thread it onto skewers and grill it. Regional variations include cooking techniques and saucing differences. In Western North Carolina, thin tomato and vinegar based sauces are common, and chicken is often smoked slowly over a barbecue. In Texas, barbecue usually referes to ribs, but many barbecue restaurants in Texas serve barbecue chicken seasoned with rub, sometimes called "dalmatian rub", that is made of salt and pepper. The chicken is often served with a very hot vinegar or even beer-based barbecue sauce. In Georgia, slightly sweet sauces with quite a bit of mustard are used on chicken. In Alabama, egg or mayonnaise-based white sauces are sometimes served with chicken at the table as a dipping sauce. In Kentucky, chicken is a favorite meat for barbecuing along with lamb and mutton.Stines. (2005), p.9
