 Florence says:
I knew Mr. Baker who created this recipe at Cornell U. and of all the recipe's listed for Cornell Sauce for Chicken, this one is it! Do not skimp on the oil or overlook the overnight marinate. The secret is to get your briquettes (no Gas) to grey and flip/turn/baste every 8 min. until done. If you have a flare up, use a spray bottle of water to the coals for control. At our home, we take the left over marinate and use it for dipping sauce. optional
