Cornell Barbecue Sauce

5.0

(1)

The delicious sauce has its roots at Cornell University, where legendary Professor Robert Baker developed this recipe for the Poultry Science Department. First, split young dressed chickens and marinate in the barbecue blend, then grill at a low temperature (about 350°F). Finger Lakes classicists contend that this is the only way to fix barbecue. Local volunteer fire departments support themselves with fundraisers featuring succulent “Cornell Barbecue Chicken.”

2 cups cider vinegar
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    Step 3

    Adjust the quantity of the salt or eliminate altogether to meet individual health needs and taste preferences. Leftover sauce can be stored in a glass jar and refrigerated for several weeks. Because this sauce contains raw egg, it should only be used as a basting sauce for meats during cooking.
