ROAST CHICKEN WITH APPLE SLAW



Roast Chicken With Apple Slaw image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 half chickens (about 4 pounds total)
Kosher salt
Juice of 2 limes, plus wedges for serving
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons Sriracha (Asian chile sauce)
3 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Granny Smith apple
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
3 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Place skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the skin begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the juice of 1 lime with the allspice and 2 tablespoons each Sriracha and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Make the slaw: Whisk the juice of the remaining lime, 1 tablespoon each Sriracha and honey, and the mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Cut the apple into matchsticks and add to the mayonnaise mixture along with the coleslaw mix and scallions; toss to coat. Season with salt. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the glaze; return to the oven and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 10 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and cut each piece in half. Serve with the apple slaw and lime wedges.

Pulled Chicken with Apple-Cucumber Slaw image

While you enjoy these sandwiches, what's left of your chicken simmers in water, creating stock to use later.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 Granny Smith apple, cut into matchsticks
2 English cucumbers, cut into matchsticks
2 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Shred chicken, discarding skin and reserving bones. In a medium pot, bring chicken bones and 9 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container; let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for use in Baked Polenta with Sausage and Artichoke Hearts and Tortellini Soup with Peas and Spinach.
  • Meanwhile, stir together apple, cucumbers, scallions, and mayonnaise. In a large skillet, heat chicken, mustard, vinegar, honey, and 1/4 cup water over medium-high, tossing to combine, until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Divide chicken mixture among buns and top with apple-cucumber slaw.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the chicken and mayonnaise.
  • If you don't have time to cook the chicken yourself, you can use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken from another meal.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded cabbage and carrots. However, if you have the time, shredding your own vegetables will give the slaw a more fresh and flavorful taste.
  • Be sure to drain the chicken well before adding it to the slaw. Otherwise, the slaw will be too watery.
  • If you want a creamier slaw, you can add more mayonnaise. However, be careful not to add too much, or the slaw will become too heavy.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to the slaw, you can add a teaspoon or two of sugar or honey.
  • To add a bit of spice to the slaw, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or black pepper.

Conclusion:

Apple chicken slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer potlucks and barbecues. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this slaw is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
