Cornell BBQ Chicken With Slight Changes image

This is my own take on this iconic Upstate NY classic BBQ chicken recipe. If you grew-up anywhere near Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, or the Finger Lakes region, you have had this chicken before. The original recipe is a little boring for me, so I have added a few modifications that suite my taste. This recipe is enough for 2 whole cut up fryers.

Time 9h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole chickens, cut up into 4 to 6 pieces each
2 large whole eggs
2 cups olive oil or 2 cups canola oil
3 cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup lemon juice
6 tablespoons kosher salt or 6 tablespoons season salt
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons italian seasoning
2 tablespoons granulated garlic or 2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 cup water

Steps:

  • in a large bowl, combine the eggs and oil. whisk until completely emulsified.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and water and whisk again.
  • add the remaining ingredients and whisk again until completely incorporated. Let sit while you cut the chicken.
  • Cut the chickens into quarters, if the breasts are very large you can cut those in half again.
  • place the chicken parts into gallon sized plastic zipper bags, or a plastic marinating pan that will allow the marinade to cover the chicken completely.
  • cover the chicken with marinade and allow to set for at least 4-5 hours in the refrigerator. overnight is usually better.
  • to Grill: it is best if you grill the chicken on a lower heat like 350-375 either on direct gas flame or charcoal. you can also cook over indirect heat for most of the cook and finish on direct heat to crisp the skin. You could also cook in the oven at 365 for 45 minutes and finish it with the broiler for 10 minutes to crisp. Make sure the internal temperature is over 180 degrees before serving.
