3228.0. "Barbecue Chicken at the Stores" by DELNI::FAGAN () Thu Sep 19 1991 11:01

    Hello everyone!  I have a question about grocery store already cooked
    chicken.  The kind thats hot in the glass displays.
    
    I had never purchased this before until a couple of weeks ago.  Boy,
    was I missing out.  They say it is BBQ, but I can't figure out what
    they use for seasoning.  It doesn't taste BBQ.  It might be
    rotissere (sp)?  Does anyone know for sure.  
    
    I get my chicken for lunch at the marketbasket supermarket.
    
    Thanks,
    Linda

3228.1grocery store chickens and a few ideasASABET::C_AQUILIAFri Sep 20 1991 10:2315
    watch out for those chickens.  i have known 'several' people to get sick
    from them.  i do not mean to insult your store or anything, but i would
    ask them how long they have been there.  most of the time the stores
    will cook the chickens that do not sell by the date marked in the fresh
    poultry section.  
    
    now bout seasonings, it is probably some salt, pepper, thyme, garlic
    powder, etc.  most the flavor from these comes from the roasting
    though.  i added a recipe for chili-roasted chicken some time earlier. 
    i believe if you did a dir/title=chicken you would come up with a few
    ideas.  
    
    good luck!

3228.4I know; this is not nice.MYGUY::LANDINGHAMMrs. KipMon Sep 23 1991 18:2710
    Ummmmmmmmmm, I was in a certain supermarket once, and I couldn't help
    but glance at the rotisseried/barbequed chicken in shrink wrap in the
    woman's cart in back of me.
    
    Then I was staring at her chicken.  Didn't have my glasses on... but I
    reached in my pocketbook, put them on... and confirmed my suspicion:
    a living black fly buzzing around under the shrink wrap.
    
    EEEEOOOOUUUU!  Of course, I told the woman why I was staring at her
    chicken!
3228.5Another BBQ chicken question!MRKTNG::COMIRETue Sep 24 1991 15:2312
    I have a BBQ chicken question for all you chefs out there:
    
    What kind of marinade/spice (or whatever!) do they use at all those
    church barbecues??  I LOVE how the chicken tastes at church barbecues
    (it has a very distinct flavor, vinegar maybe??) and I would like to 
    try and duplicate it on my grill at home.
    
    Anyone have any first hand experience working at a church BBQ
    fundraiser???
    
    Thanks!

3228.6Cornell barbeque sauceMR4DEC::WILDERMon Oct 07 1991 14:2015
    They use a non-tomato based barbeque sauce that I know as Cornell
    barbeque sauce.  
    
    1 c. cider vinegar
    1/2 c. oil
    several T. ground pepper
    1 T. poultry seasoning
    1 beaten egg
    
    soak chicken overnight
    
    This is the sauce they used at the Firemen's Field Days I went to in
    upstate NY as a child.
    
    
3228.7bottled salad dressingFORTSC::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Mon Jan 06 1992 18:2812
This is late, but....

select a low-oil (NOT no-oil) Italian Salad dressing - brand and flavor to
your liking, but I recommend anything with the title "zesty Italian"...
Marinade your chicken in this for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Drain well and broil over coals that have been on at least 45 minutes and
that have a nice heavy white coating on them.

This is the marinade we always used for the Church suppers back home...
if you really want to add some zip, pour in the juice from jalepeno
peppers in the jar (the pickling juice) to taste.  This needs no barbecue
sauce, but lays a nice foundation for a spicy sauce if you choose.
