I only marinated my chicken for an hour and it still came out great. My husband loved it and he is a hard man to please when it comes to food. I highly recommend this recipe and if you can't marinate for 24 hours it still turns out great. Like I said, I only had time for an hour. I may add a little less salt as it was very salty but still extremly tasty, and the chicken was so moist and tender too. Definetly will be making it again.

People commented how delicious this was, including kids (teens). It's very good! When telling some friends about it, someone else overheard and said they actually braise the chicken in the marinade vs. marinating then baking or grilling. Might try that next. I used chicken quarters that were .49 per lb and half the stated recipe.

wonderful marinade. I did cut back on the salt after reading some reviews, even though I love salt. I added some zatarains creole seasoning after I placed chicken in baking dish. fabulous!!

Excellent. You can marinate overnight. The chicken will be moist and delicious.

Yes, you may think it's a bit vinegary tasting - that's what makes the chicken moist and juicy. Try using sea salt - better for you and not as salty tasting. (by all means cut down on the total amount) I remember when our church made it for a fund raiser they rubbed salt in the cavities of the chicken and cooked it over hot coals which were much lower than you would normally cook meat on - I think that's the ticket to a moist and not charred chicken! YUM YUM - a taste of upstate NY! Try Spedies next..you'll love em!

I will use this again...just not with chicken breast. This should be used with bone-in chicken. Added alittle garlic powder and less salt. This reminds me of shavetta's chicken from around here. Very good and something different to throw on the grill.

I am so excited to find this recipe. My grandparent's church on Owasco Lake in NY used this recipe for their annual BBQ and I have been hunting it down for ages. All my mom could remember was it had vinegar, eggs and oil. I remember the smell during cooking and I can't wait to try it. Kelly's right salt potatoes go great. We live in NH but stock up every time we go to Auburn. Salt Potatoes and Grandma Brown's baked beans:):)

If you enjoy grilled chicken, then this recipe should be a part of your collection. I agree with the other reviewers that you can marinate the chicken for just three hours without losing flavor. For an authentic upstate NY meal, try this with Syracuse Salt Potatoes.

It gave the chicken a good, unique flavor. I made it for company and they devoured every last piece! Like others said, it flared up a bit when first put on the grill. I'll definitely make this again.

Wow. My husband talked about this chicken during the entire dinner. He was so impressed with the flavor. I was only able to let it marinade for 8 hours, I can't imagine the flavor it would have had if I had let it marinade overnight. Perfect. We are having friends over this weekend and i will be using it again.

My grandmother worked as a secretary at Cornell in the 1920's, and 'borrowed' this recipe when it came across her desk to be copied. I've been a 'half-bred' Ithacan for all my life, and grew up on this recipe; we actually called it "Daddy chicken." I've always known it as 2/3 cup WHITE vinegar, 1/3 cup oil, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp poultry seasoning and 1/4 tsp white pepper. This is enough for a family dinner, and we would paint the chicken upon cooking it. (as opposed to marinading it) Cooking remaining sauce off makes for great 'crispies' in the bottom of the pan, as well.

Reviewer KelliCooks has the right info. Make this recipe just as it stands, but use large pieces of chicken. I make this recipe regularly and it is enough marinade for two whole chickens. Here is my method (traditional in upstate NY): split two chickens in half lengthwise (so each piece has a half breast, a wing, thigh and leg). Mix up the marinade (you can use a blender or just whisk in a large bowl starting with the egg then whisking in the oil and then adding the vinegar and spices). Before placing the chicken in the marinade, set aside 1/2 to 3/4 cup of marinade in a small container and refrigerate. Then marinate the four chicken halves at least 12 and up to 24 hours. Drain the chicken halves and then grill until done, brushing regularly with the reserved marinade. If half chickens are too large of a portion size for your group, cut the halves up AFTER grilling. You can often find split chicken halves in the grocery store but splitting them yourself is not hard and you can really make this an inexpensive recipe by doing that as whole chickens are often found as cheap as 99 cents a pound. By the way, KelliCooks may be right that serving this chicken with salt potatoes is traditional, but to me that is salt overkill as the chicken itself has a salty flavor. I serve it with potato salad or macaroni salad.

When this recipe was invented in the 1950s by Professor Baker at Cornell University, only larger broiler chickens and stewing hens were sold. This bbq sauce was invented to be used for bbqing smaller fryer size birds (2-3 lbs) like we mostly use now. As a result this recipe is best used on chicken quarters, which is the leg and thigh portion, or a wing/breast combo. If you use it on boneless skinless breasts only you must be aware that there isn't quite enough mass to handle the heady aromatic marinade if you let it marinate for hours. Just a brief marinate time will do for boneless skinless chicken breasts. The effect will be luscious, moist and succulent, not over seasoned. It's almost an Italian flavor, but subtle when used as a marinade for half chickens. Hopefully this will clear up some misconceptions that are causing some cooks' concerns. And remember don't cook the chicken over too high of a heat - medium coals is better. Traditionally served with a baked ora buttered boiled salt potato (just boiled in extra salty water like the salt miners did), coleslaw, and a roll. That's UPstate NY's traditional bbq.

I am from northeast PA and got this recipe from my brother-in-law. His recipe called for cider vinegar. I mistakenly used apple cider instead and it was great! When I found out it was supposed to be vinegar I tried it but I liked the apple cider better than the vinegar. Less sour-vinegary taste!
