1 (2.5 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Plum Glazed Chicken Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by sherryl61

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can Oregon Purple Plums (or other variety if you have them)
2 T margarine
1 onion, finely chopped
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C prepared tomato-based chili sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
2 tsp lemon juice
2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken (I have also used a whole chicken cut up)

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2.Drain the plums and reserve the syrup. Remove the pits from the plums. 3.In a blender or food processor, whirl the plums and syrup until pureed if a thinner consistency desired; I prefer to puree half the plums with the syrup and coarsely chop the rest of the plums and add to the puree. I like it chunky. 4.Melt margarine in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. 5.Stir in the plum puree, brown sugar, chili sauce, soy sauce, ginger and lemon juice. 6.Cook, uncovered, stirring often until slightly thickened. About 15 minutes. (I have also not cooked it at all and just dumped the mixture over the chicken and baked all together. The sauce is thinner but still tastes great!) 7.Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken in a lightly greased baking pan. 8.Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, basting with plum sauce every 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over and bake, basting occasionally, for 30 more minutes. (I have also just browned the chicken and thrown it in a crock pot and added the sauce, cooking it on low for 4-6 hours). 9.Heat the remaining sauce and pass it at the table.

LEMONY CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND OREGANO



Lemony Chicken With Potatoes and Oregano image

This might be the easiest roast chicken and potatoes recipe out there. Roasting lemon slices with the potatoes infuses them with a bright, zippy flavor. Then, you can eat the roasted lemon or not - the caramelized, intense flavor is for true lemon lovers only. Serve this with one or two of your favorite condiments on the side for dipping the potatoes.

Categories     dinner, poultry, roasts, vegetables, main course

Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lemons
1 1/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (2 to 3), patted dry with paper towels (see Tip)
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 3/4 teaspoons dried oregano, plus more for serving
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper (not essential but helpful for cleaning up).
  • Trim the ends off 1 lemon, then cut the lemon in half crosswise.Thinly slice one half of the lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds into quarters, creating small triangles. Shake out the seeds then place the lemon quarters into a large bowl. Save the remaining lemon half for serving. Cut the remaining whole lemon into wedges, for serving.
  • Add chicken and potatoes to the large bowl with the lemon quarters. Add the oregano, salt and pepper; toss well. (Your hands are the best tools here.) Drizzle in the oil and toss again.
  • Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one half of the prepared sheet pan, and potatoes and lemons on the other, spreading the potatoes out into one layer. Roast for 20 minutes. Using a long-handled spoon, stir the potatoes, then spread them out again in one layer. (You don't have to touch the chicken.) Continue roasting until chicken and potatoes are cooked through and everything is golden and crisped, another 15 to 20 minutes (40 to 45 minutes total roasting time).
  • To serve, squeeze the juice from the lemon half all over chicken and potatoes and give everything a good stir to incorporate all the tasty juices and browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with more oregano and salt, and serve with additional lemon wedges and condiments on the side.

CITRUS PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN



CITRUS PLUM GLAZED CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken

Yield 2 people

Number Of Ingredients 14

One or more chickens, halved
3 Tbs of plum jam
2 Tbs of chopped garlic or to taste (look for the pre-chopped in oil, saves time)
1 tsp of chopped fresh ginger
Chinese five-spice powder
Pepper to taste
Pinch of salt
One whole large orange
1/4 cup chicken or poultry stock
Olive oil
Dash honey
Pinch of cayenne powder
Butter
Good dollop of dijon mustard (preferably the grainy kind)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to approximately 250 or 300 degrees. Halve chicken(s) discarding backs (or save for stock). Season chicken halves with Chinese five-spice powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt after rubbing with soft butter and drizzling with olive oil. Roast chicken for about 45 minutes, tenting if it appears that the chicken is browning too fast. Toward the end of the roasting time, heat more olive oil in a large sauce pan until hot but not smoking. Sautee the garlic and ginger until they start to give off their combined aroma - but do not brown either. Halve the orange and juice it, removing any seeds. Add to the soft garlic and ginger mixture. Reduce slightly. Add dollop of honey with the plum jam and stock. Whisk to combine and allow to further reduce a very small amount until you have a pourable consistency. Finish off with butter or margarine until smooth. Add more juice if needed. Pour 3/4´s of the jam mixture over the chicken and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Add remaining mixture and continue to bake for another 5 minutes. It is important here to pay attention to the chicken so that it does not burn or brown overly much. Should it appear that the glaze is browning too much, retent with foil. As soon as the glaze has set, remove chicken and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Great dish with Thai sticky rice or a vegetable pasta dish. The prep time is minimal, and this makes a great meal to impress guests although the work involved was quick and easy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure your chicken is thawed: If your chicken is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Season your chicken: Before cooking, season your chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives this dish its delicious flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook your chicken until it is cooked through: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let your chicken rest: Before serving, let your chicken rest for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Citrus Plum Glazed Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of citrus and plum flavors creates a glaze that is sweet, tangy, and savory. This dish is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of side dishes. Whether you are looking for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, Citrus Plum Glazed Chicken is sure to please everyone at your table.
