Cornell style chicken is the preferred method of cooking chickens in the southern tier of new york state. Normally, the chicken is cooked on a grill and basted with a mop of oil, vinegr and spices. I have taken it to a different level by cooking it over oak on my Klose, instead of charcoal on one of those trough style grills. The book BBQ USA has a much more thourough write up about this style of cooking. Personally, I find that this makes for the tastiest chicken I've ever had. Crispy skin, juicy meat and smoky flavor. Sauce is optional but always served on the side.
