CARDAMOM CHICKEN WITH SALT AND PEPPER CRUST



Cardamom Chicken with Salt and Pepper Crust image

Don't be turned off by the idea of 'just' salt and pepper. The marinade is intense with flavor, but it's the final seasoning of simple salt and pepper that really makes it delicious. Gotta use Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper here, please don't bother with the regular stuff. Such a difference.

Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 cloves garlic, crushed
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Uncover and roast for another 15 minutes. Transfer the meat and potatoes to a plate, cover with foil and set aside. Set the roasting pan over a stovetop burner on medium-high heat.

CARDAMOM HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN



Cardamom Honey Roasted Chicken image

The original recipe is courtesy of BeesOnline located just outside of Auckland. The original was good but this is a little more amplified in flavor. The results are an amazing combination of sweet and spiciness that permeates the kitchen during roasting and your palette as you enjoy your meal. Preparation includes 30 minutes to marinate the chicken, actual working time is really quite short and easy.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breasts or 1 roasting chicken, cut into parts
1 1/2-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced
salt and pepper
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sherry wine
1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 390°F Warm the honey so that it is liquid, stir in the sherry, cardamom and peppercorns. (If you are grinding the spices with a mortar and pestle, be sure to remove the seeds from their pods prior to grinding.) Place marinade and chicken in a large resealable bag, coat chicken with marinade. Close bag and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (no longer than that).
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan at medium high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden. (If you plan to discard the skin, as I do, you can omit this step. Just add an additional 5-6 minutes to the baking time.).
  • Place lemon slices in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken pieces on top. Lightly brush with the marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Discard the remaining marinade. (Warning: Do not be tempted to pour the marinade in the baking pan, it will be a mess.).
  • Place in the oven and bake until done, approximately 25 minutes for breasts.
  • (According to the original recipe it is 20 minutes for thighs, wings, and drumsticks, but I found the time for breasts to short so please check for doneness.) Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Pour out drippings from the pan into a gravy boat for gravy.

Time 50m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 teaspoon cardamom seed, ground
1 teaspoon peppercorn, ground
6 chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken, cut into parts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • If a recipe calls for ground cardamom, it is best to start with whole pods. Break open the pods to release the tiny brown and black cardamom seeds. Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle to grind the seeds.
  • Preheat oven to 390°F Warm the honey, stir in the sherry, cardamom and peppercorns. Place marinade and chicken in a large bowl, coat chicken with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan at medium high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden.
  • Place lemon slices in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken pieces on top. Brush with the marinade. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake until done, approximately 15 minutes for breasts, 20 minutes for thighs, wings, and drumsticks. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Pour out drippings from the pan into a gravy boat for gravy.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cardamom. Cardamom pods come in two varieties: green and black. Green cardamom pods are the more commonly used variety and have a more delicate flavor. Black cardamom pods have a more smoky and intense flavor. For this recipe, you can use either green or black cardamom pods. Just be sure to adjust the amount you use to taste.
  • Don't crowd the chicken thighs in the pan. If the chicken thighs are too crowded, they will not brown properly. Make sure there is enough space between each chicken thigh so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat. If you cook the chicken thighs over too high heat, they will burn on the outside before they are cooked through. Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs. The chicken thighs are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest before serving. Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute throughout the meat. This will make the chicken thighs more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This recipe for cardamom honey chicken thighs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken thighs are cooked in a flavorful marinade of cardamom, honey, and soy sauce, and then roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve the chicken thighs with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
