This 75-Year-Old BBQ Chicken Recipe Still Beats Every Trendy One I've Tried
In the summer, I rotate between my air fryer, cast-iron skillet and grill depending on the weather and my mood. That's why I love recipes that work well with all three, and Cornell chicken is a perfect example. This classic barbecue dish has been around for more than 75 years, and it's still one of the best ways to make grilled chicken. Cornell chicken comes from an unlikely place. It was created by Robert Baker, a Cornell University food science professor with a passion for poultry and a deep knowledge of flavor. His vinegar-based marinade uses a handful of pantry staples, but the results are anything but basic. The chicken comes out crisp on the outside, juicy inside, and full of tangy flavor. Whether you cook it on the grill, in a skillet, or in the air fryer, this recipe proves you don't need anything fancy to get incredible results. It's simple, versatile, and perfect for summer meals. Don't miss any of CNET's unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add us as a preferred Google source on Chrome. The beauty of Cornell chicken is its simplicity. No bottled sauces, no fancy tools -- just a time-tested formula that works whether you're grilling over charcoal, gas, or even using your oven's broiler. It's one of the earliest recorded barbecue chicken recipes in the U.S., and it's still a favorite in upstate New York for good reason. One bite and it's clear: this Ivy League bird has serious backyard cred. Whether you like to cook your summer bird in an air fryer, over a cast-iron skillet or directly on the grates of your gas or pellet smoker -- I made this recipe on all three and it worked each time -- this simple and straightforward marinade is easy to make in large batches and worth adding to your rotation. What's special about Cornell chicken? Baker is a Northeast barbecue legend. Baker wrote the proverbial book on barbecue chicken, according to many, after extensive recipe testing in the 1950s. He was unhappy with the bland state of American cuisine and created this recipe to help serve tasty food en masse at large cookouts. "Cornell chicken," as it's known, is beautifully simple and remains one of the most lauded chicken marinades and summer cookout recipes. You'll find Cornell chicken served at restaurants, particularly in upstate New York, where the university is located, family picnics, food fairs and festivals across the country. What's different about Cornell chicken? Cornell chicken uses one unusual element, a beaten egg, to add a creamy coating and let the chicken skin get crispy without burning. There's also poultry seasoning for depth of flavor and vinegar to add tang and help the marinade penetrate. If you're wondering how to make Cornell chicken, it's easy -- use just five ingredients and a similar cooking method to traditional barbecue chicken. This chicken marinade is vinegar-based so it's akin more to a Carolina style than the sweet Kansas City or St. Louis styles. Baker suggests using a charcoal grill to keep unwieldy flames from cooking the skin unevenly. The barbecue chicken recipe is about as simple as it gets. Baker's cooking technique is a little more meticulous. How to make perfect Cornell chicken Ingredients Bone-in chicken pieces 1/2 cup vegetable cooking oil 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1.5 teaspoons poultry seasoning 1 beaten egg Salt and pepper to taste Let the marinade do its thing for at least three hours. David Watsky/CNET Directions Step 1 : Beat the egg. Add oil and beat again. : Beat the egg. Add oil and beat again. Step 2 : Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl. : Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl. Step 3 : Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.

Step 4 : Place coated chicken on a medium-high grill (Baker suggests charcoal) or hot cast-iron skillet and reserve any leftover marinade. : Place coated chicken on a medium-high grill (Baker suggests charcoal) or hot cast-iron skillet and reserve any leftover marinade. Step 5 : Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping and basting the chicken with leftover sauce every five minutes. The basting should be light at first and grow heavier toward the end of cooking. : Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping and basting the chicken with leftover sauce every five minutes. The basting should be light at first and grow heavier toward the end of cooking. Step 6: Cook until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Baker recommends a charcoal grill but gas works fine, too. David Watsky/CNET Can you make Cornell chicken in an air fryer? Yes and I did. I put half of my batch in the air fryer and the other half over a hot flame the way Baker intended. Both methods worked well. The grill gave me a slightly more caramelized char while the air fryer was faster and there was less to clean up. Baker included instructions on how to build a fire pit but you can choose a charcoal or gas grill and get similar results. Can you use any chicken for Cornell chicken? Baker's original recipe calls for broilers (small whole chickens), but this recipe can be applied to any bone-in, skin-on chicken. You can use boneless, skinless chicken, but you won't get that coveted crispy skin that Baker's Cornell chicken recipe aces. As it turns out, some forum users have even experimented with using the Cornell chicken cooking recipe on wings -- to pretty immediate success. One person from the r/Wings subreddit shared their successful Cornell chicken wings, after using the same basic six-step process included in Baker's original recipe. If you don't feel like making this sauce, these are the best bottled barbecue sauces we've tried. Now Playing: Best Air Fryers: Cheap vs. Expensive 19:24 Cornell chicken FAQs What is the most important ingredient for Cornell chicken? Aside from the obvious -- the bone-in chicken -- the apple cider vinegar is perhaps the most important part of the Cornell chicken marinade. It adds a unique "tang" and a depth of flavor that defines Baker's BBQ recipe. Adding the egg also allows the skin to crisp over, adding a great texture to bite into.

Thinking about a heat pump? Some things to know about choosing what's best for you
Federal incentives for home energy improvements are running out at the end of the year, so it's decision time for anyone who has been thinking about a heat pump. The right decision can depend on where you live, how much you have to spend and how deeply you want to cut emissions. But the payoff can be significant. Bill Gerosa was spending about $6,700 annually to heat and cool his house about 30 miles (48 kilometers) north of New York City. He was eager to bring down his costs, and shelled out $13,000 for a ground-source heat pump that was made more affordable by significant state and utility incentives. 'I had to prove to myself and to my wife that I wasn't doing something monumentally stupid,' he said. Gerosa's monthly energy use plunged by two-thirds. He installed solar panels at the same time to offset the rest, and his heating and cooling bills fell to virtually nothing. Last month — about seven years after installing the system — he's recovered what it cost to install the system. Heat pumps 101The simplest way to understand a heat pump is that it uses electricity to gather heat from one place and move it to another. Heat exchangers, compressors and refrigerants are part of the system. That's how it can work not just for heating but for cooling — in summer, a heat pump can pull warm air from a house and push it outside. That's also the secret to how heat pumps can be more efficient than conventional heating technologies, which have to generate heat before they can distribute it. It takes a lot less energy to simply transfer heat, according to the International Energy Agency. A decade ago, heat pumps could struggle when it got really hot or really cold outside. But advances in technology mean today's heat pumps can keep homes cool even in triple-digit temperatures and warm even when it's well below zero. There are two main types of heat pumps: air source and ground source. Air-source heat pumps work with the air around the heat pump. Ground-source heat pumps — also known as geothermal — use pipes that circulate liquid underground to either gather or discharge heat. Air-source pumps cost less to install and require less space since there's no need to run underground pipes. But operating costs are higher than ground-source pumps. They're most effective in more moderate climates. Ground-source pumps cost more up front and installing hundreds of feet of underground piping can be disruptive to lawns and gardens. But they're more efficient and cost-effective in the long run because underground temperatures are far more constant than air temperatures. 'They're seeing the ground temperature of about 50 degrees, not the outside air temp. So that's where they really dominate on efficiency, payback, energy bills, peak demand on the grid, all of those things,' said Ted Tiffany, senior technical lead for the Building Decarbonization Coalition, a nonprofit that advocates for green energy use in buildings instead of fossil fuels. Panama Bartholomy, the coalition's executive director, noted that a heat pump costs more than a gas furnace or central air conditioner, but can do the work of both. Drilling for the underground piping that a ground-source pump requires can add around $10,000 to the project. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that the added installation costs are recouped within 5 to 10 years thanks to the higher efficiency. Heat pumps are cleanest Heat pumps are also cleaner than systems powered by natural gas options, even if the electricity used to power heat pumps is primarily generated from coal. That is because heat pumps are three to five times more efficient. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that almost everywhere in the United States, switching to a heat pump reduces emissions. 'We should do it now, pretty much everywhere,' said Mike Henchen, buildings program principal for the clean energy nonprofit RMI. Henchen said RMI's analysis found the biggest improvement happens in states with milder weather and with more clean-energy options like wind and solar to provide the electricity. 'If you live in Southern California, that's probably amazing. It's probably five times better than a gas furnace on efficiency. If you live in North Dakota, maybe it's only two times better because it's cold in winter and that diminishes the performance.' Technician availability: the oldest tech still wins Tiffany said it's typically easiest to find someone to replace what you already have. 'If you've got an oil furnace, a guy's going to try to come sell you an oil furnace because it's the easiest thing that goes back in,' he said. But the newer technology is catching on. Heat pumps have outsold furnaces since 2021. They outsold by their biggest margin last year. Bartholomy said as heat pumps have gotten more common, most HVAC professionals can install one because the technology isn't that different. It's the ground source heat pump installers that are more difficult to find. 'It's far less availability of contractors. And so, supply and demand, usually you don't have a lot of options to get bids and be able to negotiate price down,' he said. There are maps that show geothermal installers nearby. And it can take time for professionals to learn how to install new technologies, Panama said. 'That is disrupting what has been a status quo for 75 years. And it's just different. It's just not what they have installed time and time again in their region.' ___ The Associated Press' climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Women's Earnings Never Really Recover After They Have Children
By By the time they hit their mid-30s, women raised on the expectation of ' having it all ' often face a rude reality: There are only so many hours in the day. Juggling full-time jobs, young children and household tasks leaves scores of women burned out and exhausted. Corinne Low, a professor of business economics and public policy at the Wharton School, calls this familiar phenomenon 'the squeeze.' It shows up clearly in time use data the US government collects from households, she says: 'You see just this mountain in child care and housework time at the same time as women are trying to invest in their careers.' For men, the time use impact of those converging demands looks more like 'a little anthill,' she says. In her forthcoming book, Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours, Low presents a powerful case that the squeeze reverberates through families' lives long after kids are out of diapers. For the typical US woman, time expenditure at home peaks before income does. This means women can't afford to outsource tasks such as housecleaning or food preparation so they can carve out more hours to focus on getting ahead at work. Their careers can suffer: Some move into less taxing, lower-paying jobs or drop out of the workforce entirely. Others keep grinding but get passed over for promotions. Low cites a study from Sweden that found companies don't give as many promotions to women as men—even women who never have children—to avoid the work disruption and cost of a potential maternity leave.
