FIRE DEPARTMENT CHICKEN



Fire Department Chicken image

My family loved this chicken sauce. I made some changes to the recipe for my families taste. I added 3 tablespoons poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. I used skinless, boneless chicken that was grilled on low till cooked. I had to mop this on as the seasonings would not go through the spray bottle nozzle. My future hubby loves when I marinade the chicken in the sauce over night. I put everything in a bag and pop it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Please note this sauce will have a very strong vinegar smell when being cooked to the boil. I recommend cooking it outside if at all possible. I got the recipe from Copy Kat chat. If you have ever tasted the local Fire Department's grilled chicken, here is the spray they use. You can use any cut of chicken you choose, but most Fire Departments use either halves or quarters.

LOCAL FIREMAN CHICKEN BARBECUE SAUCE



Local Fireman Chicken Barbecue Sauce image

I found this recipe off the internet a couple of years ago. I can't remember where except it was posted by a dorothy. Dorothy said "The history of this recipe she got the recipe from her mother-inlaw, and she told her that it is the one that the local fireman use at their chicken dinners. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It's really delicious. It contains eggs, so use immediately." My family loves this chicken barbecue sauce. We think it tastes real close to what the firemen do use. We marinate our chicken overnight then inject it the next day to get the sauce through the chicken which we think tastes better that way. In the picture I boiled my chicken and cooled it then marinated it overnight with no need to inject it and it was full of flavor.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In blender, combine the eggs, oil, vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning and ground black pepper.
  • Blend together and baste on the chicken when grilling, or marinate chicken in the sauce in the refrigerator 1-1/2 hours.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish, so use the best you can afford. Fresh, organic ingredients are always a good choice.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring that the chicken is cooked to the proper temperature. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
