Instrucciones

Whisk 1 large egg, 1½ cups apple cider vinegar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 Tbsp. poultry seasoning, and 1 tsp. freshly ground pepper in a large bowl to combine. Transfer ½ cup marinade to an airtight container; cover and chill. Place 5 lb. skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts and/or legs (thigh and drumstick) in remaining marinade to submerge. Cover and chill separately at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.

If grilling, prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip back into bowl, and arrange, skin side down, around outer edges of grate; discard used marinade. Cover (if your grill allows) and grill chicken, basting with remaining chilled marinade every 10 minutes or so and turning chicken often to promote even browning, until charred, deeply aromatic, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 160° for breasts and 165° for legs, 25–30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

If baking, place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip back into bowl, and arrange, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet; discard used marinade. Bake chicken, basting with remaining chilled marinade every 15 minutes or so and turning chicken often to promote even browning, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 160˚ for breasts and 165° for legs, 30–35 minutes.

Heat broiler, leaving chicken in oven. Broil until skin is deeply browned, 6–10 minutes. (Watch carefully; the chicken can go from brown to burnt very quickly.) Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
