HERB AND LEMON CHICKEN IN A CLAY POT



Herb and Lemon Chicken in a Clay Pot image

This recipe utilizes a clay cooker, such as a Romertopf. (for alternative cooking method without a clay pot, see diner524's review) The chicken stays juicy but still gets a crispy skin on top. Remember the clay pot and lid need to be soaked in cold water for 15 minutes before using. Try to find an Herbes de Provence that includes lavender flowers. This is good with steamed rice, or roasted vegies. The juices from the clay pot are good over the rice or vegies.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (3-pound) frying chicken, giblets removed and reserved
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 small onions, peeled
3 garlic cloves, peeled
6 sprigs parsley, plus extra for garnish
1/4 pound prosciutto, small dice
2 whole bay leaves
3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup tawny or ruby Port
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the chicken all over with the oil, and loosely stuff the cavity with 3 onions, 1 garlic clove and 1 sprig of parsley. Set aside. On the bottom of a 3-quart terra-cotta jug or deep heavy casserole, spread half the prosciutto, 2 sprigs parsley, 4 onions, 1 garlic clove, 1 bay leaf and all of the giblets. Place the chicken head-first in the pot, or breast-side up in a casserole. Scatter the remaining onions, garlic, 3 sprigs parsley, prosciutto and bay leaf around and on top of the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, wine, Port, brandy, mustard, and pepper, and pour over the chicken. Cover the pot or casserole and bake for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove pot from the oven, and carefully remove the onions and reserve. Drain the liquid from the pot into a large skillet. Lift out the chicken and transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
  • Use a slotted spoon to lift out the giblets from the pot, along with any remaining whole onions and add them to the reserved onions.
  • Set the skillet of liquid over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until liquid is reduced by half, stirring often. Preheat a broiler. Place the chicken under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. To serve, cut the chicken into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the onions and giblets around the chicken, and spoon some of the warm sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley sprigs and pass extra sauce.

CHINESE CLAY POT RICE WITH CHICKEN



Chinese Clay Pot Rice with Chicken image

This is a main dish traditionally prepared in a clay pot, with bits of charred rice at the bottom - a real treat! Don't worry about the clean-up; if you're using a stainless steel pan, soak it afterward with a baking soda solution.

Provided by Li Yung

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 thick slices back bacon or Canadian bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
5 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 large chicken legs -- boned, skinned, and cut into large chunks
½ cup dark soy sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 ½ tablespoons light-colored soy sauce
2 cups uncooked white rice
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan with a lid over medium heat. Cook and stir the bacon pieces until lightly browned and the oil has a bacon flavor, about 1 minute. Remove the bacon from the pan, turn the heat to high, stir in the garlic, and cook until the garlic cloves are beginning to turn golden brown, about 1 more minute. Add the chicken pieces, stirring to seal the surfaces of the meat. Turn the heat down, and cook until golden brown on the outside but still pink on the inside, about 3 minutes.
  • Return the bacon pieces to the pan, and stir in the dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and rice, and mix everything together until well-combined. Pour in the water (should not reach to the top of the rice mixture), cover the pan, and turn the heat to low. Simmer until the rice is cooked and grains of roasted rice are stuck on the bottom of the pan, about 30 minutes. Serve each portion topped with some of the browned rice kernels scraped from the bottom.

CHINESE CLAY POT CHICKEN RICE

This is an inexpensive traditional recipe my mom gave me, which I have slightly modified. It requires no expensive rice cooker nor a clay pot that hardly gets used; a fry pan and saucepan will do the job. It's simple to prepare and delicious to eat. Enjoy!!!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Chinese

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 whole chicken breast, cut into big chunks
6 chicken wings, cut into thirds, tips discarded
1 cup dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
8 cloves garlic, smashed
ground white pepper to taste
2 links lop chong (Chinese-style sausage)
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup dark soy sauce
1 ⅔ cups jasmine rice
5 tablespoons chile paste
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken breast, the chicken wings, 1 cup dark soy sauce, the sesame oil, and the garlic in a mixing bowl; season with white pepper. Slice the Chinese sausages on an angle and add to the chicken mixture. Mix well, cover, and chill at least 10 minutes.
  • Thoroughly rinse the shiitake mushrooms and place in a bowl; pour hot water over the mushrooms; allow the mushrooms to sit submerged until they are soaked and bloated, about 15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut the stalks from the mushrooms and discard. Slice the mushrooms in half and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. Drizzle 1/2 cup dark soy sauce over the chicken.
  • Wash the rice with water until the water comes out nearly clear; drain completely. Combine the rice and 1 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid from the mushrooms in a non-stick pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and allow to simmer covered for 10 minutes with the heat on. Add the chicken mixture and mushrooms and remove from the heat; allow to sit covered until the rice is completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir together the chile paste, ginger, and lime juice in a small bowl; drizzle over the chicken rice and top with shredded lettuce to serve.

CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC IN A CLAY POT



Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic in a clay pot image

CLAY POT SESAME CHICKEN



Clay Pot Sesame Chicken image

From Dana Jacobi's book, The Best of Clay Pot Cooking. She says, "Cooking in a clay pot gives you a particularly succulent version of this popular dish. Serve it hot, right from the pot, accompanied by steamed broccoli and rice. Or let the chicken cool, shred the meat, and serve it as a salad tossed in its velvety, nutty sauce." My husband and I really enjoy this recipe. Prep time doesn't include clay pot soaking time, typically 15 minutes in lukewarm water; new pots require about 30 minutes; drain thoroughly. Soaking time is not an issue for me as I do my prep work while the pot is soaking.

This dish is terrific on a cold winter night. I got the recipe from "A Spoonful of Ginger" by Nina Simonds. Also, I like the way the chicken is browned in step 2 and use that method whenever I have a recipe that calls for browning chicken. Prep time includes marinating time.

  • Steamed rice and a vegetable go good with this dish.

SPICY CREAMY COCONUT CLAY POT CHICKEN



Spicy Creamy Coconut Clay Pot Chicken image

This was my first attempt at glazed clay pot cooking, although this recipe could easily be adapted for crackpot or conventional cooking. I've adapted the recipe from one I found on Asian Recipes Online. We were delighted with the result! Of course, fresh is always best, but, if you're in a hurry you can use bottled ingredients or herbs 'in a tube'. I did and the result was still wonderful.

1/2 cup dried wood ear mushrooms
10 cups water, divided
About 4 cups chicken stock or reduced-sodium chicken broth (32 fluid ounces)
2 (c) stalks burdock root (sometimes called gobo) or salsify (optional)
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar or fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1 lb fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, large caps quartered
3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled ginger
3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 cup white miso (also called shiro miso)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 lb mustard greens, tough stems and ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped (16 cups)
Accompaniment: steamed Asian white rice
Garnish: chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F with rack in middle.
  • Pat chicken dry, then roast, skin side up, in 1 layer in a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan until skin is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • While chicken roasts, soak wood ear mushrooms in 4 cups water until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain in a sieve, then rinse well and discard any hard pieces. Drain well, squeezing out excess water.
  • Transfer roasted chicken to a bowl and pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a 1-quart glass measure. Let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat. Add enough stock to bring total to 4 cups liquid.
  • Reduce oven to 300°F and move rack to lower third.
  • Peel burdock root, and, if more than 1-inch-thick, halve lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Transfer burdock root to a bowl, then add vinegar and 2 cups water.
  • Heat oil in a 7- to 8-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté onions until softened and beginning to brown. Add shiitakes, ginger, and garlic and sauté until garlic is golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add mirin and boil, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in miso and soy sauce, then stir in chicken, wood ear mushrooms, burdock (drained), stock mixture, and remaining 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any froth.
  • Cover pot and braise in oven until chicken is tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in mustard greens and continue to braise, covered, 5 minutes. Serve in shallow bowls.

Provided by polloazul

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds chicken thighs or legs, skin-on
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 medium onion, diced
2 bird's eye chilis or other small red peppers, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
Cilantro springs for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Blot the chicken with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine the soy sauce, water, white vinegar, fish sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, carefully place the chicken thighs in the wok skin-side down and sear for about 5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside. In a clay pot, Dutch oven, or deep skillet over medium heat, melt the brown sugar while stirring frequently to avoid scorching. When the sugar fully liquifies, immediate pour in the soy sauce mixture. Add the chicken, onions, chilis, garlic, and ginger. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is very tender and the sauce has reduced by at least half. Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with cilantro springs, and serve hot with rice on the side.

1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
6 green onions, chopped
500 g mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup white wine
500 ml sour cream
125 g swiss cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Presoak pot, top and bottom, in water for at least 15 minutes.
  • Shake chicken pieces in bag containing the flour, oregano, paprika, marjoram and garlic salt. Keep the remaining flour mixture.
  • Brown the chicken pieces in a frying pan, quickly, with the olive oil. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Place the browned chicken in the claypot, add the chopped green onions and the sliced mushrooms to the claypot.
  • To the chicken drippings in the frying pan add the rest of the flour mixture to cook out slightly.
  • Once cooked add the white wine and sour cream until sour cream has just melted and mixed through. Pour this whole mixture over the chicken.
  • Spread the grated swiss cheese over the chicken and place the covered pot in a cold oven.
  • Set the temperature to 250C or 480F and cook for approximately 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked to your liking checking after 30-35 minutes.
  • I like to drain any oil accumulated from the chicken, sour cream and cheese and to do this I blot with paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with skin and bone for the best flavor. Bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks are also excellent options.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese rice wine, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil for at least 30 minutes or overnight enhances the flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned clay pot: A well-seasoned clay pot helps to distribute heat evenly and prevents the chicken from sticking. If you don't have a seasoned clay pot, follow the instructions in the recipe to season it before using it.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat allows it to cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.
  • Cover the chicken pot: Keep the lid on the clay pot while cooking to trap the moisture and create a moist cooking environment.
  • Baste the chicken occasionally: Basting the chicken with the cooking liquid helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken hot: Serve the chicken hot with steamed rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Cooking chicken in a clay pot is a traditional Chinese cooking method that results in tender, flavorful chicken with crispy skin. By following the tips above, you can easily make delicious clay pot chicken at home. Experiment with different marinades and ingredients to create your favorite clay pot chicken recipe.
