CLAY POT CHICKEN

Provided by Food Network

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.

MEDIEVAL CHICKEN IN A CLAY ROASTER



Medieval Chicken in a Clay Roaster image

This is more a technique than a recipe, but it's special in our household because my 10 yo son can do this with minimal help. I have no idea why it's called a medieval chicken, but I originally got the recipe from a colleague. We have never used a cut-up, boneless, skinless or unprepared whole chicken, so I don't know how one would adjust the recipe to work with those cuts. You can substitute smaller roasters or cornish game hens, but adjust the cooking time accordingly. To learn to spatchcock the bird, ask the butcher to do this or check on the internet for a video.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 roasting chicken (large whole roaster, can substitute cornish game hens or smaller roasters)
salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 -4 garlic cloves (minced fine)
1 onion, peeled and quartered
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 cup white wine
1 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Soak the clay pot according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Spatchcock the chicken, making sure to remove the keel bone and breast cartilage, but not cutting the bird into halves. Rinse.
  • Season the chicken inside and out to taste with the salt and pepper.
  • Combine the softened butter and the minced garlic. The amount of garlic should be adjusted based upon your preference.
  • Using your fingers, spread the garlic butter between the meat and the skin of the breast and leg meat.
  • Wrap the chicken around the quartered onions and fresh rosemary and place in the prepared clay pot.
  • Pour the white wine and the orange juice over the prepared bird, allowing the excess liquid to pool at the bottom of the pot.
  • Place covered clay pot in COLD oven and turn the heat on to 450 degrees. Bake until the chicken is cooked (use an oven thermometer) through, checking often after the one hour mark. The time will vary based upon the size of the bird(s). (In our oven, baking time is typically between 75 and 90 minutes.).
  • As the bird gets close to being done, take the cover off the pot and allow it to brown.
  • Allow the chicken or hens to cool for 10 minutes in the pot with the juices after removing from the oven. Collect the juices and skim off as much fat as possible.
  • Cut up and serve the bird with some of the lovely skimmed juice on the side. Thicken it if you want, but we like it just as is.

Tips

  • Choose the right orange: For the best flavor, use a sweet and juicy orange, such as a navel or Valencia orange.
  • Zest the orange before juicing it: This will help to release the orange's essential oils and give the chicken a more intense flavor.
  • Use a clay pot: A clay pot will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the chicken and allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Add the orange juice and sauce to the pot: Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion

Clay pot orange chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is tangy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
