Cornell Chicken Barbecue Sauce

Have you ever wondered why the best tasting chicken barbecues are the ones where the outside of the chicken is kind of black in color? Not black as in burned. No. No. No. The skin of the chicken turns black as it cooks on the grill because, well, it just does. Anyway, when I got this recipe years ago, you would have thought I'd hit the lotto. It's that good.

1 egg
1 cup cooking oil
2 cups vinegar
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp poultry seasoning
   white or black pepper to taste

Also, we were at a friends house for a chicken bar-b-que a while back and he proceeded to use something as a sauce that I'd never heard of. He put plain Mayonnaise in a bowl and spread it on the chicken before he grilled it. It smelled like the Cornell recipe as it cooked, and the finished product tasted and looked very similar to the Cornell chicken, too. So, if you're ever in a hurry or you're missing a few ingredients for the Cornell recipe, you should try using regular Mayo as your grilling sauce. If you like the flavor of the Cornell grilled chicken, you'll probably like chicken grilled with just Mayo, too.

Homemade Tartar Sauce

There are two things I can think of that really annoy me about Tarter Sauce. The first is not having it in the house when you need it, and the second is paying a fortune for those little bottles of Tarter Sauce the grocery stores carry. What a rip! Man, I feel better having just said that :)

Anyway, here's a solution, and a very good one if I do say so myself:

1    cup Mayonnaise
1   Tbsp Sweet Pickle Relish (if you'd rather use Dill Relish, go ahead)
1    Tbsp dried (or minced) onion
2    Tablespoon lime or lemon juice (which ever one you like better)

You can use this immediately after making it, but it is better if you refrigerate it for an hour or so.

Chicken Casserole

I will be totally shocked if this recipe doesn't become a favorite at your house. I mean, is there anyone out there who doesn't like chicken and stuffing??? I didn't think so. Enjoy...

3   large chicken breasts -- boil until tender, then cut in large chunks when cooled
2   cans Cream of Mushroom soup (dilute with 1 cup milk)
1   bag (3 cups) Pepperidge Farms stuffing (follow directions on bag)

1.    Place chunks of chicken in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch buttered or greased baking dish.
2.    Pour mushroom gravy over chicken.
3.    Top with the dressing and bake, uncovered @ 350 for one hour.

(You can cut this recipe in half by using 1/2 the ingredients and a 9 inch square pan)

4. When dough is done, remove from oven and place meat mixture on top. Layer with sour cream, cheese, salsa (optional), and use the crushed nacho chips for the topping.
