Cornell Chicken Barbecue Food

CORNELL CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the cider vinegar, oil, egg, salt, poultry seasoning, and black pepper in a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth.
• Pour blended mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken halves, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (up to overnight).
• Remove chicken halves from bag and transfer to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat chicken dry with more paper towels. Reserve marinade mixture.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill chicken, skin-side down, on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Turn each piece, brush with marinade mixture, and move to indirect heat.
• Grill, brushing with glaze and turning often, until well-browned and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Steps:

• Put all ingredients (accept chicken) into a blender and blend until smooth.
• Place chicken in an airtight container. Pour mixture over chicken and marinate for at least 1 to 2 hours (I allow mine to marinade overnight in the refrigerator). Remove chicken from marinade and cook over grill until done. Bring marinade to a boil and use to baste the chicken while cooking.

CORNELL CHICKEN (GRILLED CHICKEN WITH WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE) RECIPE

Steps:

• Place egg in blender and pulse until beaten. With motor running, slowly pour in oil, a thick emulsion should form. Add in vinegar, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary and puree until combined.
• Using a paring knife, cut a few small slits in skin of each piece of chicken. Transfer chicken to a large resealable bag and pour in all but 1 cup of sauce. Place in refrigerator and let sit for 3 hours, up to overnight.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place chicken, skin side up, on cool side of grill and cover. Cook, basting every 10 minutes with reserved sauce, until breast meat registers 155 degrees and thigh meat registers 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer inserted in thickest part of meat, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Move chicken to hot side of the grill, flip skin side down, and cook until skin crisps and browns, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter, let rest for 10 minutes, then serve immediately.

GRILLED CORNELL CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a food processor, mix the egg with the oil and other ingredients.
• Marinate the chicken in one half of the marinade for 4-6 hours in the refrigerator.
• Place a drip pan half full of water in the bottom of half of the grill.
• Fire up the grill.
• Oil the grate.
• Cook the chicken indirectly for 40 to 60 minutes on the side of the grill where the drip pan is, basting and turning the chicken occasionally.
• Move the chicken to grill it directly for extra browning.
• The internal temperature of the chicken should be 180 degrees before serving.
