Buttermilk Brined Chicken
A masterclass in Southern tradition, the chicken here is brined in buttermilk, seasoned with a house spice blend, then smoked until the skin turns golden. The chicken is paired with creamy shells folded into a Texas-style queso blend of cheddar and smoked veggies. A Chipotle coleslaw rounds things out with a cool bite and tang.

The only bad part was that the slaw was bland. Chicken was delicious, cheese shells delicious, and the bbq sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and peppery.

About la Barbecue
Chef Ali Clem, the dynamic force behind Austin's acclaimed la Barbecue, has carved an
inspiring path through the world of Texas barbecue. A Fort Worth native, Clem, began
her culinary journey in East Texas at age 18, working her way up through various roles
in the hospitality industry. Her pivotal moment came when she moved to Austin and
teamed up with barbecue royalty John Mueller to help open a food trailer on South First
Street. This would evolve into la Barbecue, co-founded in 2012 with her late wife,
LeAnn Mueller. Inspired by their travels throughout Asia, Europe, and Latin America, the
duo crafted a menu that set la Barbecue apart. It’s a masterful blend of tradition and
innovation: slow-smoked brisket and ribs are paired with unexpected sides like spicy
kimchi, chipotle coleslaw, smoky black beans, and queso shells & cheese, creating a
bold, globally influenced barbecue experience. Under Clem's leadership, la Barbecue
continues to garner national fame, earning top spots on Texas Monthly’s “Top 50
Barbecue Joints” list and even being awarded a Michelin Star in 2024. It is her
relentless focus on consistency and quality that has solidified la Barbecue’s place as a
must-visit destination in Austin’s vibrant food scene.
