Derivative British Day

Hey there my hungry pals, how did the anniversary of Monarchies Are Rubbish go? Good? Good. We are, as you know, soaking up all things New England out here on the rainy coast. Getting used to Vermont cheese and trying to find our favorite organic products again. We have a couple adventures to tell you about, but the foremost among them is Dad's special BBQ recipe. This stuff always knocks my socks off.

CORNELL CHICKEN:

Cornell Chicken - Nana Simmons’ recipe from Ithaca NY (chicken BBQ at Grad school at Cornell University)

You Need:
1 Egg	Instructions:
½ cup corn oil or canola oil
1 cup Cider Vinegar	Chicken pieces; rinsed and dried; can use breasts with bone in, or thighs and drumsticks.
2 Tablespoons salt	Using a whisk, or an electric beater.
1 ½ teaspoon Poultry Seasoning	Beat egg until frothy, slowly add oil while beating. Until frothy.
(a pinch) ¼ teaspoon white pepper or substitute ground black pepper.	Add rest of ingredients and beat thoroughly. This is the sauce to marinate the chicken in overnight.
	Pour into freezer weight food baggy (or multiple baggies). Close securely.
If you don’t have time to make overnight, you can get these marinating in the fridge in the morning, turn them during the day and cook them up for supper.	Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels, add to the baggy and re- seal. Place in refrigerator, turning the bag over every 2 hours, to keep the sauce moving to baste the chicken pieces.
	Next day, heat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove chicken from refrigerator, you can pre-warm in microwave (at 50% power). Put the chicken on a baking tray (usually on a baking rack on a baking tray, lined with tin foil) in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes to pre-cook. Check for doneness with a knife, the juices should be clear, not pink. If smaller pieces are done, remove these and cook larger pieces a little longer.
	Finish on the grill or under the broiler oven setting, turning frequently to crisp/ or grill the outside.

Dad says that this recipe always tastes just like summer to him and I'd have to agree. Enjoy!
