Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (5 pound) whole chicken
salt to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, thickly sliced
1 cup light beer
1 ½ cups chicken broth, or more as needed
6 carrots, cut into long pieces
1 lemon, sliced
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut backbone from chicken using kitchen shears and save backbone for another use. Flip chicken, breast-side up, and forcefully press chicken down to flatten; season generously with salt.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; pan-fry chicken, skin-side down, until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
  • Cook and stir onion in oil in the same skillet until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking until most of the beer is reduced, 2 to 4 minutes more. Stir chicken broth, carrots, lemon, rosemary, and thyme into beer mixture. Arrange chicken, skin-side up, over vegetables.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large platter and let rest, uncovered.
  • Bring remaining broth and juices in the skillet to a boil and cook until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season sauce with salt.
  • Slice chicken and serve with sauce.

BRAISED CARROTS WITH CUMIN AND RED PEPPER



Braised Carrots With Cumin and Red Pepper image

This recipe calls for braising the humble carrot in olive oil and garlic, then seasoning with toasted cumin and red pepper. They taste good hot or at room temperature which makes them ideal for a large dinner party or potluck. Use real carrots and peel your own. Which is not to say that those miniature peeled carrots in bags aren't real, but, convenience aside, they often lack true carrot flavor.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     quick, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds medium carrots, peeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and coarsely ground
2 teaspoons mild red pepper flakes, like Aleppo or Marash
2 teaspoons paprika, smoked or unsmoked

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots lengthwise, or quarter them if you wish.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and turn them in the oil to coat. Season generously with salt. Add the garlic and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are just tender.
  • Remove the lid, raise the heat, and let any remaining water cook away.
  • Sprinkle the cumin, red pepper and paprika over the carrots and transfer them to an oven-proof serving dish. Serve hot or at room temperature. The carrots may be left at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerated and brought to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN THIGHS WITH RED ONIONS



Balsamic Chicken Thighs with Red Onions image

I like using balsamic vinegar in my cooking, and this recipe is no exception: You can substitute chicken breasts, but I'd advise against it -- The thighs are higher in fat, but taste much better. Note: Very good over cooked rice.

Provided by Bansidhe

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 sprig flat leaf parsley, fresh (optional)
lemon wedge (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan, high heat.
  • Cut onion into thin rounds.
  • Add 1/4 tsp. pepper and 1/8 tsp. salt.
  • Saute, cooking about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce to med-high.
  • Add chicken, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/8 tsp. salt, marjoram and oregano.
  • Cook 2 minutes, and then add balsamic vinegar.
  • Stir and reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-35 minutes.
  • Cook uncovered for another 2-4 minutes, until sauce has reduced somewhat.
  • If you want to garnish the dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of vegetables in your braising liquid. Carrots, celery, and onions are all good choices.
  • For a richer sauce, add a tablespoon of tomato paste or red wine to the braising liquid.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot with a lid. Just make sure that the pot is big enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Serve your braised chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Conclusion:

Braised chicken with red onion and carrots is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful braising liquid until it is fall-off-the-bone tender. The carrots and onions add sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
