Best 7 Chicken With Charred Rosemary Vinaigrette Recipes

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHARRED SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Marinade: Peel and julienne the onion. Halve the lemon, then cut it into thin slices. Place zip-top bag into a large mixing bowl to keep contents from spilling, then place sliced onion and lemon into the bag. Pull rosemary and thyme leaves off their sprigs, roughly chop, and add to the bag. Add salt and oil, then mix to combine. Set aside.
• Break down the chicken: First, cut away the wings. Then cut the leg and thigh away from each side, being careful to include the "oysters" from the carcass. Separate the legs from thighs. Cut down either side of the backbone and remove the breasts. (Reserve remaining carcass for stock.) Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and massage the bag to coat. Remove as much air as you can from the bag before sealing it. Marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. (Chef Kaysen doesn't recommend marinating for longer than 2 hours, due to the highly acidic nature of this marinade.)
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Transfer all the contents of the zip-top bag into the mixing bowl. Line a clean surface with paper towels and pat chicken pieces dry. In a large sauté pan over high heat, add oil. When it's hot and shimmering, carefully add the chicken and some of the solids from the marinade to the pan. (Work in batches if necessary; do not crowd the pan.) Sear the chicken, about 2 minutes per side. Evenly distribute butter pieces in the pan. After the skin has begun to caramelize, transfer pan to the oven. Allow to roast for a total of 15-20 minutes, until the juices run clear (not pink) for both the white and dark meat. (Alternatively, chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.) Meanwhile, make the Charred Scallion Vinaigrette.
• Charred Scallion Vinaigrette: In a sauté pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil. When it's hot and shimmering, add the scallions; cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the scallions are charred all over, 8-10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel and mince the ginger, followed by the garlic. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, the lemon juice, ginger and garlic. Whisk in remaining grapeseed oil (about 3 tablespoons). Remove charred scallions from the pan; chop and add to vinaigrette. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust with more lemon juice as needed. Set aside.
• Assembly: Remove chicken from oven. It's fully cooked when the meat has shrunk and pulls away from the bone (it's easy to tell on the leg). Arrange chicken pieces on a serving platter, along with plenty of roasted lemon and onion. Spoon Charred Scallion Vinaigrette over the top before serving.

20-MINUTE CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH CHARRED ESCAROLE SALAD

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler.
• Cut the head of escarole lengthwise through the stem-end into 4 wedges. Discard any discolored or wilted leaves. Rinse the escarole wedges under cold water, being sure to rinse away any dirt or grit between the leaves. Give each wedge a good shake to remove excess water and place upside down to drain in a colander.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, crushed red pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup of the oil, whisking constantly, until blended. Stir in the raisins.
• Spread the panko and almonds together on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 teaspoon of the oil and a pinch of salt. Place under the broiler and toast until lightly browned, 20 to 30 seconds. Toss again and broil until golden brown, another 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Wipe off the baking sheet and drizzle generously with oil. Arrange the four escarole wedges, cut-side up, on the baking sheet. Drizzle the wedges with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until the tops are browned and charred in places but the escarole is still raw underneath, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drizzle a second baking sheet with oil. Arrange the chicken cutlets on the baking sheet in one layer. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle the tops of the cutlets with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Place under the broiler and broil until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Divide the cutlets and escarole wedges among 4 plates. Spoon the raisin vinaigrette over each wedge, then top with the toasted panko and almonds.

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper; simmer until flavors combine, about 1 minute. Stir in honey; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Dip chicken into sauce, 1 piece at a time, until coated. Place chicken on a 9x13-inch baking pan; pour remaining sauce over chicken.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven; immediately turn over chicken with tongs to coat the top with sauce.

DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the chicken: Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Pour 3 tablespoons of the olive oil into a Dutch oven large enough to hold the chicken, then toss in all but 1 piece of the onion. Add the garlic and 4 sprigs each of the thyme and rosemary. Stir to coat, then season generously with salt and pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry, season the inside with salt and pepper, and tuck in the remaining piece of onion and herb sprigs. Rub the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the bird, and then pop the lemon inside it with the herbs and onion. Settle the chicken into the pot, breast side up. Pour in the wine and cover.
• Roast the chicken for 60 minutes, then check on it: It's done when a thermometer plunged into the thickest part of the thigh has reached 165 degrees. If it's done but doesn't have enough color for you, you can run it under the broiler for a few minutes; if it's not done, remove the lid and continue to roast until done, 15 to 30 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a platter, cover loosely with a foil tent, and let rest.
• While the chicken rests, make the vinaigrette: Pour off the pan drippings, measure out 6 tablespoons and return them to the pot. (If your drippings are scant or very dark, you can still use them. Keep any extra drippings for another use.) Hold onto the garlic but discard the onion and herbs from the pot. Place the pot over medium heat, pour in 1/2 cup water, and boil for a couple of minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any stuck bits. You should have about 1/3 cup of drippings; if they're very chunky, strain them when you add them to the vinaigrette.
• Working in a medium bowl, mash 6 to 8 cloves of the soft garlic with the mustard, then whisk in the vinegar. Slowly whisk in the reserved liquid, followed by the walnut oil, if using. Taste for salt and pepper, then pour the vinaigrette into a small pitcher.
• To serve, carve the chicken, cutting it into quarters or eighths, and arrange on the platter. Pour over a little of the vinaigrette. Dress the salad greens lightly with vinaigrette and serve on the platter or in a shallow bowl. Pass the rest of the sauce at the table.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make chicken:
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat chicken dry. Season cavity with salt and pepper. Place shallot, 2 rosemary sprigs and 2 sage sprigs in cavity. Slide hand between chicken skin and meat over breast to form pockets. Spread 2 tablespoons vinaigrette under skin over breast meat. Tie legs together to hold shape; tuck wings under body. Place chicken in roasting pan. Brush 2 tablespoons vinaigrette over chicken. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast chicken 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Continue roasting until juices run clear when chicken is pierced in thickest part of thigh, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Place chicken and herb sprigs on platter. Serve with remaining vinaigrette.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown chicken breasts on both sides for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet, cover with foil, and keep warm.
• Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to the pan and cook leeks over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in bacon and garlic and cook until bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
• Add tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosemary, and sage to the skillet. Return chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until sauce is reduced by half and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with lemon wedges.

CHICKEN WITH CHARRED ROSEMARY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Roast 2 of the rosemary sprigs directly on the oven rack for 5 minutes until charred. Strip off the leaves and finely crush them.
• In a small bowl, whisk the leaves with the vinegar, mustard, and 1/4 cup of the oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Discard the rosemary stems.
• In a large deep skillet, heat the remaining 1 TBSP of oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down over moderately high heat turning once, until well browned. (12 minutes). Transfer to a. plate.
• Pour all but 2 TBSP of fat from skillet. Stir in the artichokes, tomatoes, caper berries, and the remaining rosemary sprigs. Top with the chicken and roast in the oven for 15 minutes until an instant read thermometer in the chicken reads 165 degrees.
• Drizzle with the vinaigrette.
