Been meaning to make Cornell chicken, finally did.
Large, fatty, 59 cents per pound legs were in the sauce all day.
I used the standard recipe with an egg.
Started indirect over a mix of KB and lump, gold potatoes upstairs.
Kept them basted, then went direct at 145 in the thigh.
Much of the skin was doing a disappearing act, some got crispy, some not.
Tried to add some color and taste with ancho chili pepper on the corn, still a bland looking plate.
But the taste was great!
Jo Anne thought it was very good, but still prefers my kettle 'fried' whole thighs.
Before going in the sauce, I used a sharp tipped knife to perforate the skin all over.
Maybe this helped cause the shrinkage? (hold the jokes please)
Thanks for checkin' out my Cornell!
