FRIED CHICKEN IN A BASKET

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 12h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 gallon canola oil, for deep-frying
1 whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces, or 4 legs and 4 thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • Make the marinade by combining the buttermilk, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well with a whisk. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and place in the marinade. Stir everything together so the chicken is coated evenly, cover, and set aside in the fridge to marinate for 12 hours.
  • Fill a heavy-based pot (such a deep cast iron skillet) with canola oil and set over medium-high heat. Using a thermometer, heat the oil until 375 degrees F. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare the coating by adding the all-purpose flour, salt, paprika, mustard powder, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Mix with a whisk. Take the chicken pieces out of the marinade and dredge lightly in the seasoned flour, 1 at a time. Set the coated pieces on a wire rack over a tray as you work.
  • Add the chicken, 3 to 4 pieces at a time, to the hot oil, skin-side down. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Increase the heat on the oil if you need to as the chicken will bring the temperature of the oil down. Remove the chicken from the pot with a wire strainer and set over a clean rack over a tray. Season with salt while still hot. Continue to cook in batches, allowing the oil to heat up again before adding the chicken to the pot each time.
  • Place the chicken into the oven and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pile high in a basket for a fun presentation.

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - diced
2 medium red bell peppers, chopped
1 large white onion, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 cups favorite barbeque sauce

Steps:

  • Make four foil packets by the following method, using 1-foot squares of heavy duty aluminum foil: fold square in half and smooth flat. Seal each of the narrow ends by folding over each edge three times to make a 1/4-inch border, smoothing flat after every fold. You should now have a foil packet that is open on one long side. Repeat to form four packets.
  • In a bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the potatoes, chicken cubes, red peppers, onion, celery, and barbeque sauce; mix well. Evenly divide the mixture among the foil packets. Roll up the open end of the packets to seal.
  • Place packets on a grill over the coals of a fire. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked, about 25 minutes, depending on the intensity of the heat.

MY MOTHER'S CHICKEN AND POTATOES



My Mother's Chicken and Potatoes image

In my family, favorite dishes are always being altered according to what is available and what is best-especially when I'm cooking. Here's a perfect example: chicken and potatoes, fried together in a big skillet so they're crisp and moist at the same time, is my mother's specialty. Growing up, my brother and I demanded it every week; our kids, Tanya and Joe and Eric, Paul and Estelle, clamored for it too. And now the next generation of little ones are asking their great-grandmother to make chicken and potatoes for them. When I am at the stove-and though I follow my mother's basic procedures-I can't resist playing around. Some days I add sausage to Grandma's recipe, or capers or olives; I might douse the chicken with a splash of vinegar; sometimes I cut up a whole chicken, other times I'll split little poussins or Cornish hens. If I'm in a hurry, I quickly cook small pieces of chicken breast with the potatoes. (You can see what experiments have worked well if you look through my previous books.) This recipe gives you Erminia's classic formula-chicken, small potatoes, a bit of onion, and fresh rosemary-with two of my latest twists: pickled cherry peppers and bacon strips, in bite-sized rolls. Cherry peppers are plump golf-ball-sized antipasto peppers in vinegar that you'll find in jars on the pickle shelves of the supermarket. They come in sweet and hot varieties-and the latter are explosive, if you take just a bite. But when they're seeded, sliced, and added sparingly to the chicken, they imbue the dish with a mellow heat that I love. If you and your family are hot heads, cut up two or more peppers; otherwise slice only one, or use the sweet cherry peppers and see how you like that. My latest spin on our chicken-and-potato tradition is one everybody loves, especially the kids: we roll bacon slices into little bundles, pin each one closed with a toothpick, and caramelize them along with the chicken. The bacon fat slowly renders and lends the meat a layer of flavor that's picked up by the potatoes and onions too. By the end of cooking, the rolls have turned into crisp morsels that are a treat to eat with the juicy chicken and tender potatoes. (But be sure to remove all the toothpicks!)

Yield serves 4 or more

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 pounds chicken legs or assorted pieces (bone-in)
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 pound red bliss potatoes, preferably no bigger than 2 inches across
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or more
2 medium-small onions, peeled and quartered lengthwise
2 short branches fresh rosemary withplenty of needles
4 to 6 ounces sliced bacon (5 or 6 slices)
1 or 2 pickled cherry peppers, sweet or hot, or none-or more!-cut in half and seeded
A 12-inch cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet with 3-inch-high sides or deeper, with a cover

Steps:

  • Rinse the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off excess skin and all visible fat. Cut the drumsticks from the thighs. If using breast halves, cut into two small pieces.
  • Make the bacon roll-ups: Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise and roll each strip into a neat, tight cylinder. Stick a toothpick through the roll to secure it; cut or break the toothpick so only a tiny bit sticks out (allowing the bacon to roll around and cook evenly).
  • Pour the canola oil into the skillet and set over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt on all sides. When the oil is very hot, lay the pieces in it, skin side down, an inch or so apart-watch out for oil spatters. Don't crowd the chicken: if necessary, fry it in batches, with similar pieces (like drumsticks) together.
  • Drop the bacon rolls into the oil around the chicken, turning and shifting them often. Let the chicken pieces fry in place for several minutes to brown on the underside, then turn and continue frying until they're golden brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes or more. Fry breast pieces only for 5 minutes or so, taking them out of the oil as soon as they are golden. Let the bacon rolls cook and get lightly crisp, but not dark. Adjust the heat to maintain steady sizzling and coloring; remove the crisped chicken pieces with tongs to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, rinse and dry the potatoes; slice each one through the middle on the axis that gives the largest cut surface, then toss them with the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • When all the chicken and bacon is cooked and out of the skillet, pour off the frying oil. Return the skillet to medium heat and put in all the potatoes, cut side down in a single layer, into the hot pan. With a spatula, scrape all the olive oil out of the mixing bowl into the skillet; drizzle over it a bit more oil if the pan seems dry. Fry and crisp the potatoes for about 4 minutes to form a crust, then move them around the pan, still cut side down, until they're all brown and crisp, 7 minutes or more. Turn them over, and fry another 2 minutes to cook and crisp on their rounded skin sides.
  • Still over medium heat, toss the onion wedges and rosemary branches around the pan, in with the potatoes. If using cherry peppers (either hot or sweet), cut the seeded halves into 1/2-inch-wide pieces and scatter them in the pan too.
  • Return the chicken pieces-except breast pieces-to the pan, along with the bacon rolls; pour in any chicken juices that have accumulated. Raise the heat slightly, and carefully turn and tumble the chicken, potatoes, and onion (and bacon and/or pepper pieces), so they're heating and getting coated with pan juices-but take care not to break the potato pieces. Spread everything out in the pan-potatoes on the bottom as much as possible, to keep crisping up-and cover.
  • Return the heat to medium, and cook for about 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, then uncover, and tumble the pieces and potatoes (and bacon rolls) again. Cover, and cook another 7 minutes or so, adding the breast pieces at this point. Give everything another tumble. Now cook covered for 10 minutes more.
  • Remove the cover, turn the pieces again, and cook in the open skillet for about 10 minutes, to evaporate the moisture and caramelize everything. Taste a bit of potato (or chicken) for salt, and sprinkle on more as needed. Turn the pieces now and then; when they are all glistening and golden, and the potatoes are cooked through, remove the skillet from the stove and-as I do at home-bring it right to the table. Serve portions of chicken and potatoes, or let people help themselves.

Tips:

  • For a crispier potato basket, use a mandoline to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible.
  • Make sure to soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to remove the starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • When baking the potato baskets, be sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time so that they brown evenly.
  • Fill the potato baskets with your favorite fillings, such as chicken, vegetables, or cheese.
  • Serve the potato baskets immediately after they are baked, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Chicken in potato baskets is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy potato baskets are filled with tender chicken and your favorite fillings, making them a hearty and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your chicken in potato baskets turn out perfect every time.
