Cornell Chicken Recipe
- 2 cups cider vinegar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) broiler-fryer chicken, cut in half
- 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).
