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.

FIREHOUSE CHICKEN
Two chicken halves won't fit in a standard 10-inch cast-iron, so this recipe calls for both a pan and a baking sheet. If you have a 14-inch pan, you can go straight from stovetop to oven.

Steps:
- Purée garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt, parsley, paprika, pepper, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a blender until smooth. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over. Seal bag and chill chicken 1-3 days.
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Let sit uncovered at room temperature 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place 1 chicken half, skin side down, in skillet, set another skillet or heavy pot on top, and add a couple of cans to weigh it down. Cook until skin is browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken half.
- Roast chicken in oven, skin side up, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
FIREHOUSE EVENT POULTRY MARINADE
I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar because the marinade looks very interesting and I want to try it. However, the amount of cider vinegar seem a little much. When I made this to make Chicken Kabobs, I decreased the cider vinegar and salt, so I've adjusted the recipe some. Very nice marinade. Chicken came out very moist and flavorful.

- Crack the egg into a medium nonreactive bowl.

- This should take 1 to 2 minutes, and it should be like a thin mayonnaise when complete.
- Beat in the vinegar, salt, poultry seasoning and pepper.
- Use half as a marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate the rest to use as a baste while grilling.
- Be careful to discard the marinade after removing the chicken, don't use this portion as the basting sauce!

Tips:

- Use a variety of woods for smoking, such as hickory, oak, or mesquite.

- Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
