Cornell Chicken

Tjcoley · January 27

Cornell Chicken was invented by Dr. Robert Baker, a professor at New York's Cornell University. He was looking for a way to grill smaller chickens, and have them turn out delicious. It was a way for local farmers to sell more birds more quickly. Recipe from 'Saveur'.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups cider vinegar

1 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

2½ tsp. paprika

1 tsp. dried rosemary

1 tsp. dried thyme

½ tsp. dried sage

¼ tsp. dried marjoram

½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg

2 (2½-3 lb.) chickens, cut in half, backbone discarded

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Puree vinegar, oil, paprika, rosemary, thyme, sage, marjoram, nutmeg and egg in blender until smooth. Place the chicken halves in a large bowl, season generously with salt and pepper and pour in half of the sauce. Toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours

Grill at 375 - 400 direct until IT 165. You can baste with remaining sauce every 10 minutes or so.

Turned out great.

They will be on my repeat cook list. Crispy skin, very moist and juicy chicken. A true mother and child reunion doing them on the Egg.
