This week's Heart of the Matter meme asks for a recipe, and I've got a great one. This is the kind of barbecue that I grew up eating in upstate New York. It's known as Cornell Barbecue because it was developed at Cornell's Farm Extension program in the 1950s. My father was a professor at Cornell University and a scientist at Cornell's Agricultural Research Station in Geneva, NY. We had lots of summer barbecues at the "Station," and once each year we'd head over to Cornell U. for faculty day at the football game. Pretty much the main course was always barbecued chicken with Cornell sauce. When I got married, I had my mother hunt down the recipe and send it to me because I desperately missed it! This is so easy and so amazingly delicious. Please try it.
Cornell Chicken Barbecue Sauce
(This is for 3-4 breasts or you can use thighs, drumsticks, etc. Just double for a crowd.)
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup oil (I use canola)
1 egg
1 1/2 TB salt
1/2 TB poultry seasoning (I've also used Jerk seasoning)
1/2 tsp. pepper
That's it! Whisk it all together and marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better. Grill chicken when you're ready!
I hope you try this incredibly inexpensive and easy sauce! I know it doesn't sound like much, but it is fabulous.

I feel bad it's been so long since I've been out "visiting" HSB friends. You sound like you've been having fun in the sun! I was just down in Gatlinburg with my girlfriends retreat last month. A couple of us hiked some of the Chimney Tops trail. Unfortunately, we ran out of time before we got to the top. :( BUT, I'll be back next weekend with family and plan on trying again. :D
Thanks for making me smile today!!
Blessings to you,
Deb

Hey! I made this sauce yesterday. I marinated chicken drumsticks in it and then baked them ('cuz my hubby wasn't home yet and I'm afraid of the grill) in the oven. I can see that using the grill would be an improvement, but we did love the sauce! We are having company this weekend and will try it again. Thanks for sharing!
