Cornell chicken . Invented by Dr Robert Baker a Professor Emeritus of the Department of Animal Sciences at the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. Dr Baker also is responsible for other innovative chicken recipes and marketing strategies. One you may have heard of was a prototype for the chicken nugget ! So why does the Vincent family and so many others know this 1950’s recipe that was created to boost chicken sales in a beef and pork dominated market as “Firemans Chicken “? This Cornell initiative dominated upstate and western NY . Every fund-raising event, every fire department cookout, every little league barbecue, must serve this recipe or nobody would come,” In a day when the internet and cell phones were nonexistent. Was the best way to get the news out about your chicken fundraiser the women’s auxiliary and nimble fingers on rotary phones? I don’t think so ! Firemans chicken comes with a built in dinner bell. Sufficient enough to attract people far and wide . The vinegar sauce dripping over charcoal creates a white column of advertising that can be seen and smelled throughout communities. Teams of men grabbed large long handled grates and flipped countless chicken halves simultaneously. They worked over this Coals mopping and flipping. Long metal trough like cookers or cinder block style pits put distance between the bird and the burning coals making this chicken cook at medium pace( compared to a hot home grill or low and slow bbq smoker ) . In the end tangy vinegary chicken with crisp skin and tender juicy interior would be packed with summer salads and a dinner roll. This delicious dinner just funded your local fire department or church or community event and probably changed summer bbq for your lifetime. This recipe has been long cherished by my family and friends. I have introduced it to people in Connecticut and it is always well appreciated. So you may know it from your travels or from someone carrying on the tradition. Smokey Picken proudly offers this remarkable chicken and our newest equipment addition makes it a great idea for your next party.

In the comparative cool night air Middlebury is quiet and still….. Well other than the sound of sirens and the occasional car on it’s way home from a bar . However the tranquility of the sound of the nearby stream and the crackle of the fire are soothing. If you have to be up at this time it may as well be like this . Not forgetting to mention that the smells of the brisket is starting to join the sweet smell of oak smoke! Stay tuned as a another Smokey Picken cook is under way and there will be more tantalizing pictures to follow .
