Apr 17th, 2017: Feral Chickens

[Griff]

Cornell BBQ

Ingredients:

1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons coarse salt*
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
Poultry pieces (half chicken, whole chicken, whole chicken legs,
chicken thighs, and/or chicken breasts)

* Adjust the quantity of salt to meet individual health needs and taste. I use less salt than called for in the recipe. Barbecued chicken basted frequently during cooking will be saltier than chicken that has been lightly basted.



Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Add the oil and whisk until the mixture gets thick, homogenous, and a bright yellow, approximately 2 minutes. Whisk in the cider vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. NOTE: If you prepare the barbecue sauce ahead of time, refrigerate until ready to use. As this sauce is high in acid which kills any bacterial that might be present in the eggs. If you are still worried, use pasteurized eggs.

In a large resealable plastic bag, place the chicken pieces of your choice. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours (the longer you marinate, the better).

I saw feral chickens in Kauai about 23.5 years ago. One year after the bad hurricane.

October 1, 1993.
My wife and I each took a picture, and I think we fed them. Can't remember.

I was just getting all nostalgic for that trip, so I tried to find the picnic area where that picture was taken. I think it was in the Koke'e state park campground. So I got into street view and went there, and in the street view shot of that campground parking lot, there are feral chickens running around.
