My mom used to make this chicken for us all the time while I was growing up! LOVED it then, LOVE it now!

Absolutely delicious! I'm always a little shy with salt, so I use 2/3 or 1/2 of what the recipe calls for, but the simplicity and great flavor of this marinade make it a perfect recipe, in my book.

another Upstate NY fan here. 1 teaspoon salt is the right amount, if even that. The other amounts are perfect! My father made this every summer while I was growing up and wouldn't tell me what he put in it because he knew I hated the smell of vinegar. I never knew until after he passed away that this was the recipe he used and, well, vinegar smell be da**ed, this is the absolute BEST chicken BBQ recipe ever!

Probably the best marinade I have ever made. I ommitted the salt as it is completely unnecessary not to mention unhealthy.

Decent enough. Reminded me of a lot of Greek marinades.

Okay but not very exciting. Sort of blah.

I am from NW Connecticut on the NY state line, so I've had this chicken at fairs and picnics but could never get the recipe, until now. This is it! The famous vinegar based BBQ chicken! I made it for the first time for our mothers day cookout yesterday. It was a hit! I marinaded bone in chicken for about 30 hours, cut the salt to 1.5TBSP due to previous reviewer comments and the chicken was delicious. The chicken was moist, not too vinegary, and grilled to perfection. I did use fresh rosemary as well. Everyone raved about it - so now it's officially on my little Connecticut cookout circuit! In fact, I've been told it's the best chicken ever! So true, it really is.

I am so glad I found this recipe! It is by far the best chicken marinade I have ever tried. I love the flavors-not overpowering, just right. This is our new favorite! Must marinate overnight.

THE BEST chicken marinade EVER!!! A staple in Upstate New York, sometimes called NY State Fair chicken. This smells soooo good while grilling and tastes even better. So easy to make, really just the perfect recipe. I do recommend using bone-in chicken with skin although it still produces good boneless skinless chicken. But if you are going to indulge in skin-on chicken, go for this. The skin absorbs the marinade so nicely and crisps up on the grill so well...mmmm the flavor is heavenly!
