Ingredients

To create this exquisite marinade, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip up your Cornell Chicken Marinade:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk them together until well blended.
  2. Add in the salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning, and fresh lemon juice if you’re using it. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated well.
  4. Seal the bag or cover the container, then place it in the refrigerator. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours, but if you can let it sit overnight, the flavor will be even more intense!
  5. When you are ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining mixture.
  6. Grill the chicken pieces for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken even juicier!
