Auto parts chicken is a term used to describe chicken that has been cooked on or around an automobile engine. This cooking method has gained popularity in recent years due to its convenience and the unique flavor it imparts to the chicken. While there are many different ways to cook auto parts chicken, some of the most popular methods include grilling the chicken directly on the engine, placing the chicken in a pan or foil packet and setting it on the engine, or using the exhaust manifold to cook the chicken. No matter which method you choose, be sure to take precautions to ensure that the chicken is cooked safely and thoroughly.

This was given on the web as the simplest chicken recipe there is and perhaps the easiest as well. As if that isn't enough, you can change the flavoring every time you make it so you'll never get tired of it, either. For example, you may substitute a combination of herbs for the single herb in the ingredients. Also check the variations for other flavorings. In the comments following this recipe some responders criticized the name of this recipe as being gross, citing the "chicken parts." If you come up with a better name, I hope you'll share it with the rest of us!

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or 1/4 cup butter
1 whole chicken, 3-4 lbs., trimmed of excess fat and cut into 8 pieces
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup any mild green herbs, i.e. parsley, dill, basil, sage (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the oil or butter in a roasting pan and put the pan in the oven for a couple of minutes, until the oil is hot or the butter melts. Add the chicken and turn it couple of times in the fat, leaving it skin side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and return the pan to the oven.
  • After the chicken has cooked for 15 minutes, toss about 1/4 of the herb or herb mixture over it and turn the pieces. Sprinkle on another quarter of the herb and roast for another 10 minutes.
  • Turn the chicken over (now skin side up again), add another quarter of the herb, and cook until the chicken is done (you'll see clear juices if you make a small cut in the meat near the bone) a total of 30-40 minutes at most. Garnish with the remaining herb and skim excess fat from the pan juices if necessary; serve, with some of the juices spooned over it.
  • Variations:
  • Add several cloves of garlic (20 wouldn't be too many).
  • Add a cup or so of chopped onion, shallot, or leek.
  • Add a cup or so of sliced fresh mushrooms, after the first 15 minutes of roasting.
  • Add 2-3 lemons (oranges and limes are good, too). When the chicken is done, squeeze the hot lemon juice over it.
  • Use Compound Butter, Flavored Oil, or a Vinaigrette from the beginning of the cooking or as a basting sauce during the cooking.
  • Stir in a dollop of grainy French-style mustard when the chicken is done.
  • Add a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes and some black olives after turning the chicken skin side up again.
  • Stir in a cup of any salsa in the last 10 minutes of cooking or spoon on top of the cooked chicken before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts that are free of skin and bones. Avoid using frozen chicken, as it will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the chicken, such as garlic, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. You can also use a store-bought seasoning mix.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of oil, vinegar, and spices will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking the chicken to the proper temperature will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Let the chicken rest: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before carving or serving. This will help to keep the juices in the chicken and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Auto parts chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you are using a whole chicken or chicken parts, be sure to season the chicken well and cook it to the proper temperature. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and healthy auto parts chicken dish that your whole family will enjoy.
