Dr. Bakers Cornell Chicken Barbecue sauce

Cornell Chicken Barbecue sauce, It was invented by Dr. Robert Baker, a Professor Emeritus of the Department of Animal Sciences at the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University.  In 1950, Dr. Baker published a bulletin that included recipes to make broiler chicken, chicken bred for their meat instead of eggs, ideal for the barbecue. The idea of cooking chicken was somewhat new at the time, as most people ate beef and pork, and Dr. Baker saw the publication as a way to educate home cooks while helping poultry farmers. The bulletin also featured instructions on how to build your own outdoor cooking fireplace using cinder blocks. Dr. Baker's original recipe used a barbecue pit where the chicken was cooked on racks, several feet away from the coals so that the chicken cooked relatively slowly. He had even built a grill 50 to 60 feet long, large enough to feed 5,000 people. You can construct something like this if you are so inclined, but this recipe still works fine on a deep, kettle-style grill.  At the New York State Fair in the 1950s, Dr. Baker opened a stand called "Baker's Chicken Coop" which, was operational till April of 2021 by his daughter, where he cooked up over a million chicken. He also contributed to the invention of the chicken nugget, as well as chicken hot dogs and turkey ham. The place called Bosco's, which is right next to the Chicken Coop, sells a sandwich and jarred bbq sauce of Dr. Bakers recipe.
