Sorry, but this was TERRIBLE! Totally inedible....made the recipe correctly, to the letter....marinated 3 large chicken breasts for 24 hrs as directed. Ugh....too salty, too vinegar-y. If you cut a piece and hold it up to your nose, it'll singe your nose hairs! Maybe if you cut the salt and vinegar WAY down it might be OK....but definitely not as-is. I would never reccomend this to anyone. It's like pickled chicken, salt and vinegar potato chip-chicken....YUCK!

In the last year, it's become a grilling hobby to try various marinades. This chicken marinade is one of the best. The vinegar saturates the meat with an acidic flavor, which is curiously good. My wife grilled the chicken spot-on, so the meat turned out beautifully. She browned the chicken breasts for 1 to 1 1/2 minute per side on high heat, then reduced the heat for just below medium for another 4 minutes per side (chicken internal temperature should be at least 160, some experts say 165 degrees). Great flavor.

I live in Ithaca so I have to recommend this as the best bbq marinade ever. You can cut the salt in half. I marinate for under 24 hours, it can be very strong.

We LOVE this recipe. My father-in-law gave us the recipe, and it is outstanding. We do cut the salt down, though. Leftovers are equally amazing.

OMG! Delicious. Way too much salt & vinegar, but I'm just not a salt & vinegar kinda gal. I tried it with half the vinegar and 1 tsp of salt and love it. If there are leftovers, rarely there are, I cut it up and throw the pieces into a salad.

this was an amazing marinade! I wasn't expecting much of it - picked it only because I happened to have all the ingredients in the house. But it's the best chicken I've ever had. Nice and tangy! We cooked it over a little portable charcoal grill while camping - VERY nice.

I served this to a group of people who loved it. I asked them to guess what the marinade ingredients were--none of them could guess, and were surprised it was such a simple recipe.

Yum! This was a hit with my entire family. I didn't have poultry seasoning so I left it out and it was still fabulous. It reminds me a lot of the Brooks BBQ Chicken that we have in this area. I will definetely make this again and again.

I'm so sorry-we thought this was the worst chicken we ever had. But it got great reviews so it must just be our tastes. Thank you anyway for the post.

We have used this recipe for almost 60 years in my family. This is a wonderful marinade and goes well cold on picnics!!! Or cols sandwiches the next day. But I prefer it hot off the grill!!!

Once you try this, you'll never need another. The salt makes it very juicy.

I love this marinade! The chicken is very moist and so well flavored. I usually make half a batch, still using a whole egg but half of the other ingredients.

This is my favorite grilled chicken. I like to add a tablespoon of garlic powder or fresh minced garlic if I have it on hand. The smell of the chicken cooking brings back childhood memories of cookouts in central New York.

I made this recipe several times and it is very good. I agree with Julie, it does flare up when cooking it. I've yet to make this recipe without my grill going up in huge flames. I even tried blotting off most of the marinade but I still have this problem. I use a gas grill, perhaps it's safer to make on a charcoal grill. I can understand why it's popular amoung firemen. :)

I got this recipe years ago from my ex-mother in law. what a fabulous recipe!!!! she would always make it for us when we would visit her in Catskill, NY. I remember my ex-father in law, cooking it slowly almost all day. just remember it needs to be cooked over low heat. it will flare up and burn quickly. LOVE this recipe!!!!!
