Cornell Chicken Legs

[Gonna Smoke]

I haven't made it in awhile and I had a 5 lb. bag of chicken legs so I thought "Why not?"

My go to recipe is @Steve H Steve's...

Honey, make some fireman chicken this weekend!

Ann was talking about Cornell chicken. She always forgets the name of it! Who am I to argue? Took 2 pounds of boneless/skinless thighs. And had them soaking in the cornell sauce. 1 cup vegetable oil. 1 egg 2 cups apple cider vinegar 2 tbs salt 2 tsp poultry seasoning 1 tsp pepper. Put in a bowl...

And for the sauce/marinade. From Steve's post...
1 cup vegetable oil.
1 egg
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 tbs salt
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp pepper.

Mix it all together and emulsify...

Time for them to go for a 24 hour swim. Used about ½ of the sauce...

Fire up a grill with some lump and on they go. I turned them fairly often and basted with the rest of the marinade...

Everything is done, time to eat. Served with homemade mashed potatoes, collards from my freezer, and watermelon...

Really good and the smell of the sauce hitting the coals is a fantastic. Oh by the way, with the somewhat cooler temps, Sheila has begun decorating for the fall. She said it's almost Labor Day so...

Thanks, but before Steve's post, I'd never heard of Cornell Chicken. So blame it on him... I think you'll like the tang from the vinegar, it's subtle, but it's there...

Looks tasty Charles! I do mine with Pops version of Fireman's Chicken. Just a variation of Cornell. The smell of the chicken on the grill with this style is just intoxicating isn't it?
