Cornell Chicken
Love that Cornell chicken, scale for the group size, and enjoy!
About:
Cornell Chicken is as much about the seasoning as it is about the preparation and process.
The cooking process includes carefully managing the heat of the flames by adding water to cool or wood and coals to warm to ensure the meal is cooked to perfection.
The chicken is basted several times through the cooking process.
Maintaining a consistent cook temperature is accomplished by flipping to ensure evenly cooked on both sides and monitoring the internal temperature of each piece.
This is a slow cooking process, where the outside of the chicken achieves a signature crisp while still maintaining a juicy inside.
The chicken, salad bar, sides, hot dogs, and juice are then enjoyed picnic-style in the sun and shade.
This proud tradition continues to this day, and for many, is the highlight meal of the week!
