Grilled Chicken with White Barbecue Sauce

I'm beginning to think that D just didn't want to read this week. He told me the rub on the chicken was something completely different than what it says here, and I nearly burned off my tongue. I ended up having to wipe off the rub. I liked the sauce. I'll have to prep it next time (yes, I liked the sauce well enough to try the chicken again.)

Update: He made it the right way.  It was delicious.

The chicken is seared over direct heat then moved to the cooler side of the grill. If using a charcoal grill, stack the coals on the right side of the grill.

Chicken:8 (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Cooking spray

Sauce:
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Dash of salt

Preheat grill to medium-hot using both burners.

To prepare chicken, loosen skin from breasts by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Combine salt and next 4 ingredients (salt through chile powder); rub under loosened skin.

Turn left burner off (leave right burner on). Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Place chicken on grill rack over right burner; grill 5 minutes on each side or until browned. Move chicken to grill rack over left burner. Cover and cook 35 minutes or until done, turning once. Remove chicken from grill; discard skin.

To prepare sauce, combine mayonnaise and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Serve
with chicken.
