Cooking is no science, we can think about the preparation of mixed eggs. But this is not at all true, as Professor Robert Carl Baker, who invented an amazing dish that has its place on the menu to this day, has proved already in the 1950s.
Although Professor Baker originally studied at Cornell University in American Ithace, the doctrine of growing fruit trees and the fruit of the fruit itself, but over the next years he also devoted himself to food processing in the same institution where he spent his entire professional life. He is even considered to be a real inventor of the nugget, which later tried to “blow” the McDonald’s chain, but the evidence speaks clearly…
Barbecue according to the scientific recipe is unsurpassed. See it on YouTube in the PLANT TALK channel:

Unsurpassed recipe
Let us return to the brilliant professor’s barbecue, which they cannot not only allow Americans. If you would like to prepare it, then remember that you will return in the 1950s, when grilled chicken wings began to be promoted at the American garden meetings, which has not surpassed anything – perhaps because Robert C. Baker had scientific background for what recipe. He also had another reason: at the time the recipe appeared in the world, he worked along with other scientists to promote chicken consumption. And because he had good ideas, it succeeded.
The mystery of the brilliant marinade
What is the secret of the Baker’s marinade, in which most of the magic of the food lies? It consists only of commonly available ingredients and its perfection is based on simplicity, with which the author approached his task. So prepare 1 cup of vegetable oil, the same amount of apple vinegar, one raw egg, three teaspoons of salt, one teaspoon of ground pepper and a teaspoon of dried garlic. That’s all. Now it is necessary to insert and pour everything into a higher container and develop a smooth emulsion with a stick blender. First, we first store the ailerons for marinating, and then we also use it to combat the meat during the barbecue.
It takes time
We should take enough time to prepare this food and let the meat marinate ideally overnight for the best result. Do not leave the heat treatment to chance, but get a quality charcoal, which will only underline the result of your efforts. Grill slowly and carefully, turn the meat. This is the only way to achieve a perfectly baked but unburned food, which we can eventually let just a little bit a larger flame for a crispy cuticle.
Simple, cheap, good
Why does this recipe are tearing up for popularity to this day? As clear from the list of raw materials, it is a cheap meal that can be prepared even in “field” conditions, requires no special culinary experience and (of course) it tastes almost everyone. What to want more?
No wonder such food soon spread among the public, families passed a recipe, and family and community meetings without grilled chicken wings were rarely. Compared to grilled classics in the form of pork or beef it was a welcome and playful relief. This was also the case and still lies the magic of grilled chicken.
Beware of fire
If you decide to try this iconic recipe yourself at home, remember that there is nothing to spoil. The only problem could be the power of fire, as too long grilling at high temperature can initiate the formation of carcinogenic substances. Beware of it and watch the meat well. Will be ready in a few moments. If you follow the basic hygienic procedures to prevent the contamination of meat by possible germs, you have nothing to worry about. So with it and the family will have something to remember for weeks.
