Page 168 - Barbecue Chicken Made Easy

operated Baker's Chicken Coop restaurant at the New York State Fair in Syracuse since 1949.
Here is our slightly modernized version of Dr. Baker's Original Recipe.
Makes. 16 chicken quarters
Takes. 20 minutes prep, about 90 minutes to cook
Ingredients
1 egg
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Morton Coarse Kosher Salt 1 tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 broiler chickens cut into quarters
About quartering the bird. The original recipe calls for cutting the birds in half, but we think it is better to quarter them since breasts and thighs cook at different rates.
About the marinade. It is very close to a mayonnaise, so you can store the sauce in the fridge for a few days, even though there is raw egg, because the vinegar, salt, and cold will prevent salmonella from multiplying.
Method
1| Prep. In a large bowl, whisk the egg with a balloon whisk or a hand mixer. Add the oil slowly, and whisk until it gets thick, homogeneous, and bright yellow, about 2 minutes. Now whisk in the vinegar and salt. This makes it a brinerade.
