If somebody didn't want a whole turkey you could do this with chicken. The sherry sounds good. But, I would add a bottle of good red wine, poured into glasses and sipped while cooking. OF course, that is a great addition to most recipes. Good post!

Why the vinegar rub?
I've never heard of this but will try on some chicken first, as I know Paris Rio (Cat) & Etoile Jolie (Jo-Avatar) would fall over dead after they tried to finish eating an entire 12 to 24 pound turkey. And all three of us would try as I know that this is one of those dishes that is so good, that you continue to try to eat even though you were full 5 minutes ago.lol
