FIRE DEPARTMENT CHICKEN

My family loved this chicken sauce. I made some changes to the recipe for my families taste. I added 3 tablespoons poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. I used skinless, boneless chicken that was grilled on low till cooked. I had to mop this on as the seasonings would not go through the spray bottle nozzle. My future hubby loves when I marinade the chicken in the sauce over night. I put everything in a bag and pop it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Please note this sauce will have a very strong vinegar smell when being cooked to the boil. I recommend cooking it outside if at all possible. I got the recipe from Copy Kat chat. If you have ever tasted the local Fire Department's grilled chicken, here is the spray they use. You can use any cut of chicken you choose, but most Fire Departments use either halves or quarters.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Brined bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs that are about 1 pound each work best for this dish.
  • Prepare and Season the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, remove excess fat from the chicken pieces and make shallow slits in the skin. Season generously with the dry rub, making sure to get it evenly distributed on all sides of the chicken.
  • Preheat the Oven Properly: Ensure that the oven is adequately preheated before placing the chicken inside. This helps create the initial sear and crispy skin.
  • Check the Chicken's Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the meat.
  • Let the Chicken Rest: Once the chicken is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

The Chicken a la Fire Station is a simple yet incredibly delicious dish that showcases the versatility of chicken. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this dish is sure to impress with its crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful seasonings. The secret lies in the unique cooking method that combines the oven's heat with the aromatics from the onion and lemon. So, fire up your oven, gather your ingredients, and indulge in the goodness of this Fire Station-inspired chicken dish. Enjoy!
