DELMARVALOUS CHICKEN (T&T)

Recipe Introduction


This recipe is from the Salisbury, Maryland Jaycees who held a huge BBQ fundraiser each year. My father was a member in the early 1950’s so the recipe is at least 50 years old. The name Delmarvalous comes from the Delmarva Peninsula of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. I thought you might like a little history with your recipe. The secret to the recipe is to boil the ingredients for 5 minutes and then add the chicken in batches and let the chicken pieces boil in the marinade for 2 minutes on each side. This gets the flavor of the marinade all through the chicken and also helps to tenderize it. The Jaycees did the marinade in huge batches to serve hundreds at a time. If you are using whole chickens, cut them up before placing in marinade. I just pick the pieces that my family likes, you could do all breasts if you like. I hope that you will enjoy it as much as my family does. Posted by: avidcookGA


List of Ingredients




2 whole chickens, cut-up or use only the pieces you like
1/4 c. WATER
1/2 c. VINEGAR
3 T. BUTTER
1 T. SALT
1/4 T. POULTRY SEASONING
1/4 t. PEPPER
1/2 T. WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
1/4 T. TOBASCO
1/4 t. PAPRIKA
1/4 t. GARLIC POWDER

Recipe



Combine all marinade ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces in batches and let boil in the marinade 2 minutes per side. If you are ready, you can immediately place the chicken on the grill and baste with the leftover marinade, turning frequently until chicken is done. The chicken should be crispy on the outside and very juicy and moist on the inside. You can also do this ahead and let the chicken continue to marinate in the refrigerator until ready to cook. It can marinate overnight and be grilled the next day. Sometimes I precook the bone-in chicken in the marinade for 5 minutes per side which REALLY speeds it up on the grill - it is almost cooked through already.

The marinade will not completely cover the chicken but will be enough for 2 whole chickens or pieces.

If you are going to do it ahead, just boil the chicken in the marinade as directed and then refrigerate until ready to grill. I have done this and just put the boiled chicken and the remaining marinade in a ziplock bag until ready to grill.
