This barbecue sauce has a perfect flavor match to the well-known summertime chicken sauce from the New York State Finger Lakes that is consumed across Central New York. The sauce sticks to the chicken better and the final dish is more moist since fat-free mayonnaise is used in place of the traditional oil and egg.

- 10 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise

- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar

- In a shallow glass bowl combine the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and vinegar. Whisk until fully blended. Reserve 1/4 of the sauce for basting. Pierce chicken pieces with a fork and add to remaining sauce, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours to marinate.
- Lightly oil grill and preheat to medium high.
- Remove chicken pieces from sauce/marinade and grill for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Baste with reserved sauce while grilling.

Reviews
We have made this dozens of times. Fantastic.
Tasty and very moist. The vinegar adds a nice tang to the chicken. I do think it needed a bit more seasoning to it so next time I’ll add a little red pepper or something.
Being that I have lived in the Finger Lakes region of NY for 29 years (minus one year in Savannah, GA), I really WANTED to like this. HOWEVER, it tastes NOTHING like the “famous bbq sauce” that the Finger Lakes is known for. This is missing many spices and came across very, very bland. My family and I were very disappointed.
This was good, very tangy.
Tastes almost just like spiedies, but so much easier. Cut the chicken into pieces and wrap in buttered Italian bread for a great taste!
The chicken really didn’t have much flavor. I was disappointed.
Very nice recipe. My son loved it. He couldn’t get enough of it.
