Cornell Chicken From Upstate New York Made on the Hasty Bake Gourmet

A continuation of some great foods from the region of Upstate New York where I grew up, I offer you Cornell Chicken! This was the barbecue chicken I remember from when I was a kid. Summer time was precious up there as it was a very limited time, unlike here in Florida where i live now where we only have 2 seasons, Hot and Hotter, LOL! Grilled over straight charcoal with a simple marinade, Cornell Chicken was invented by Professor Bob Baker who also gave us things like Turkey Ham and Turkey Bacon. This is and was a staple for every fire house fundraiser, fair, and festival!

Well done. The details matter and you hit 'em. I'm from upstate NY and this is how it's done.

Thanks for the comment Brandon Irwin! your thoughts are appreciated...

I grew up eating this stuff on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. They never called it Cornell chicken but all the fire stations sold it on the weekends. Thanks for sharing and passing on the story. Super tasty stuff. I live in Hawaii and try to make this whenever I bbq chicken. Good stuff.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Very cool

[@dweb2275]

I have my family send me marinade from Sterns Chicken in Hornell, NY. My friends in South Ga are blown away when a grill it for them.

Grew up eating this every summer in Cortland helping my aunt flip the chicken and knock down the flair ups with a spray bottle of water, this is central NY right beside spiedi's,salt potatoes,Hofmann hot dogs and grandma browns baked beans. About 20 years ago I came across Big Bob Gibson white sauce which compliments this greatly. Have also seen a Steven Raichlen white sauce based on the original cornell sauce I'm wanting to try.

This is big in western new york too. Chiavetta's, wendel's, weidner's, kroliks, etc.

[@peterinbrat]

I grew up thinking every park had the cinder block pits. I've seen some that could handle 500 chicken halves or more.

[@FireWaterCooking]

when I moved to Florida and had what they called "BBQ Chicken" I was shocked...

[@nickhumphrey1445]

I'm from Fairhaven . That's how we do it but usually marinate for a few days

[@FireWaterCooking]

you cant marinate them too long or the vinegar will make the chicken mush..

[@dweb2275]

WOW! That's gotta be strong! lol No way.

[@jeffshannon5410]

Great video I really like your recipe! Your camera resolution is nice

[@FireWaterCooking]

I'm glad you like it

[@prototype9000]

ive seen people marinate it for a few days ended up with great results

[@FireWaterCooking]

it all depends on how much apple cider vinegar you use as it is acidic and breaks down proteins

[@prototype9000]

@@FireWaterCooking i did it with only a tiny amount of vinegar for taste was mostly butter milk only made the chicken so tender if fell apart when cooking

[@FireWaterCooking]

@@prototype9000 buttermilk? That is not an ingredient in Cornell Chicken..

[@prototype9000]

@@FireWaterCooking yeah it works a little better get the same taste

[@thadvanness9409]

I finally made this yesterday. I marinaded it for 9 hours and it was amazing, had my neighbor over and had to fight him for the last piece. I actually have another chicken marinating overnight which I'm sure will take it to another level.

[@FireWaterCooking]

yeah, it is so good!

[@seanthousand2353]

My dad made this with the Lions club in Pulaski with bucks seasoning instead of pepper salt and poultry seasoning and Holy crap was it good I'm actually making it with bucks tomorrow for Thanksgiving instead of turkey.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Awesome! Happy Thanksgiving,

[@ericblodgett1289]

Yes!!..Bucs seasoning is how I'm used to eating it as well.."central square area"

[@aj_sanjuan]

Pulaski is a beautiful small town.

[@Mr_Dopey]

Syracuse it's very similar, but it's always Buck's seasoning.

Baker's chicken shack still serves the New York State Fair!

[@FireWaterCooking]

awesome!

[@yrreteugarps2835]

Dude, where are you from? I grew up between Fair Haven and Sodus. Lived in Wolcott. The foods you have been making videos of ARE the foods they eat there! Baker's Chicken Coop at the State Fair!

[@FireWaterCooking]

I lived on Jefferson Street in Wolcott

[@thomasbernecky2078]

I grew up enjoying this every summer in WNY. Thanks for the memories. If you marinate in a gallon freezer bag, you can just flip it when needed and save on marinade? What temp did you finish at?

[@FireWaterCooking]

right around 165f...

[@markmerletti8596]

Thanks just bought a bottle 🍼 at Wegmans. Have a good night.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Enjoy!

[@keithchapman1768]

Im sorry to inform you that the chicken shack at the ny state fare is gone.

[@FireWaterCooking]

sad news....

[@m00se23]

This is close to Bob's recipe but lacks the egg and he used 3 Tbsp. of regular table salt, not kosher - yes it was salty but the original recipe did not specify marinating the chicken! This was a mop sauce.

[@FireWaterCooking]

you must not have watched the video.. i put an egg in there...

[@m00se23]

@@FireWaterCooking I did watch the video. I don't know how I missed the egg! ✌

[@kevinliddell5793]

Interesting. Cornell chicken was invented at Penn State. It should be called Penn State chicken.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Only a chicken heathen would say such a thing....

[@markmoody703]

Wouldn't you rather have tofu

[@FireWaterCooking]

what is that?
