Chicken BBQ marinade

[Central PA Cowboy]

Good Morning SMF,

Does anyone have a recipe for the marinade that is sprayed on chicken over an open pit, specifically like the ones done here in Central PA?

Never mind, found a recipe.

Not Pa but what we call it Maryland road side chicken.
Have done 100's of pounds using this recipe.

Very simple and for 100 pounds of chicken

1 Gal water
1 Ga; vinegar (use dark)
1 pound box salt
1 1/2 cup poultry seasoning
1 cup black pepper
1 cup veg. oil
All can be adjusted to your taste
Can break it down to smaller batch.

Thank you both! The one I found it pretty much the same base as both of yours. Water and vinegar with spices.

ROADSIDE CHICKEN

1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup veg oil
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS Sea or Kosher salt
1 TBS white sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp celery salt

Mix/shake till well dissolved. Put sauce in a bottle with the shaker top. You can marinate the chicken in the sauce for up to 2-8 hrs before cooking. If so discard marinade and make fresh for the cooking sauce. Apply the sauce every 5 min to both sides and turn every 5-10 min. Apply one final coating 5 min before removing from the grill. It's impossible to put too much sauce on while grilling. It will build up a nice layer of flavors. Cook on charcoal grill.
EDIT: If you are going to marinate the chicken first, then leave the oil out for the marinade process. Make up a fresh batch for basting the chicken with the oil in the sauce.

Why would you do that? All of your spices, especially Onion and Garlic, have Fat Soluble flavor components. You neglect a lot of potential flavor, leaving the oil out...JJ

Very good question. Not my recipe. I just re-posted it the way I found it.

Ive seen a few recipes, usually from family, that will have an instruction or ingredient that makes no sense. The answer is similar, " Thats what So and So wrote. " Or, " That's the way Grandma did it."...JJ
