Cornell Chicken Barbeque

The Cornell Chicken Barbeque Sauce was developed by Cornell University professor, Dr. Robert C. Baker, to help New York poultry farmers sell more birds. Today it's often referred to as State Fair barbeque because it's used by a large chicken barbeque food vendor at the New York State Fair where thousands of people experience its delectable taste each year. Several restaurants in New York State use this sauce for their barbecued chicken.
