Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
6 (4 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked long-grain rice
3 cups chicken stock, divided, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
  • Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
salt, to taste
white pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon mirin
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup bell pepper, julienned
1 cup carrot, julienned
4 cups short grain rice, cooked
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large measuring cup, combine water and cornstarch. Stir until combined and add soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, sesame oil, and mirin. Mix well.
  • Season sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper, then pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of the sauce over the sliced chicken just until covered, and set aside. Mix the sauce with the sliced chicken, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour the rest of the sauce and stir occasionally as it comes to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Set aside in a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and raise heat back to medium-high. Place sliced chicken pieces in the pan and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook an additional 3 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon of the reduced sauce over the chicken and stir. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining cooking oil into the skillet and add the julienned vegetables. Season with salt and white pepper, and cook 3-4 minutes or until vegetables have softened. Add back the chicken and gradually add just enough sauce to coat the chicken and vegetables.
  • Take ⅓ cup (65 g) of cooked rice and flatten out on a piece of plastic wrap. Layer the cooked chicken and vegetables in the center of the rice and wrap the rice around the fillings. Form into a square shape and repeat with the remainder of the rice and filling. Chill rice balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Dip the rice ball in beaten eggs, then coat with panko. Shake off any excess bread crumbs.
  • Heat ½ inch (1 cm) oil in a skillet to 350˚F (180˚C) and fry for 3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Move to a cooling rack, and season with salt.
  • Cut in half and serve with the remaining sauce for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

Long-grain rice is not starchy enough to hold together, so make a batch of short-grain a day ahead and you'll be good to go.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Chicken     Dinner     Sesame Oil     Ginger     Braise     Rice     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 small onion, finely chopped
8 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1/4 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
3 cups cooked short-grain rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
8 chicken drumsticks, patted dry
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Mix onion, garlic, ginger, gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sesame oil, and 1 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl to combine; set sauce aside.
  • Toss rice, cumin, garlic powder, and mustard powder in a medium bowl to combine; spread out on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and chill until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken generously with salt. Heat butter and vegetable oil in a medium heavy pot over medium. As soon as foaming subsides, add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add reserved sauce and bring to a simmer; cook until sauce appears to thin out, about 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover pot, and simmer, turning occasionally, until chicken is very tender, 45-55 minutes.

  • Add scallions to chicken and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top each cake with 2 chicken legs and a few scallions; spoon plenty of sauce over.

CHICKEN WITH CRISPY RICE



Chicken with Crispy Rice image

Poaching chicken in a ginger-scallion broth not only flavors the meat, it leaves you with flavorful stock and rendered fat for crisping up fluffy white rice.

Provided by Carla Lalli Music

Categories     Bon Appétit     Chicken     Rice     Avocado     Poach     Dinner     Lunch     Ginger     Basil     Green Onion/Scallion

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
2 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick)
2 bunches scallions
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger
2 medium shallots
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bunch Thai basil or regular basil
2 cups sushi rice
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional)
Sliced avocado, lime wedges, hot sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and/or black vinegar (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place chicken and 12 cups water in a large pot. Cut green tops from scallions; add to pot. Cut a small nub off ginger; set aside. Cut remaining ginger into quarters (do not peel) and halve shallots; toss ginger, shallots, and peppercorns into pot. Set aside a handful of basil and submerge the rest in pot; bring to a boil. As liquid heats, skim off any foam, but try not to remove too much fat (you'll use it later). As soon as liquid is boiling, reduce heat and gently simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes for legs and 20 minutes for breasts (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a piece should register 155°F; temperature will continue to rise off heat). Transfer to a plate; let cool.
  • Meanwhile, strain stock into a large bowl (you'll have about 10 cups). Use a large spoon or ladle to skim off any fat from surface into a small bowl; set aside. Measure out 2 1/2 cups stock. Reserve remaining stock for another use.
  • Rinse rice in a sieve, stirring with your fingers until liquid runs mostly clear. Shake off excess water and transfer to a medium nonstick skillet. Add reserved 2 1/2 cups stock and bring to a boil over medium-high, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed, 8-10 minutes.
  • Drizzle reserved chicken fat around edge of pan (do not stir). Increase heat to medium-high and cook rice, uncovered, until underside is golden and crisp, 10-12 minutes. If pan seems dry, drizzle vegetable oil around edge of rice as needed. The goal is an evenly browned bottom with tender rice on top.
  • While rice is crisping, cut scallion whites into thin rounds and finely grate remaining piece of ginger.
  • Pull chicken meat off bones and shred; discard skin and bones. Divide rice and chicken among bowls; add some avocado, scallions, grated ginger, and reserved basil to each. Serve with lime wedges, hot sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar as desired.

CRISPY CHICKEN A L'ORANGE AND BROWN RICE



Crispy Chicken a L'Orange and Brown Rice image

I can't decide if my favorite part of this dish is the sweet taste of the orange marmalade mixed with the Asian flavors of the soy and honey with a bite of juicy chicken or if it's a spoonful of rice that cooks so nicely under the chicken, capturing the savory juices, and crispy pieces along the sides of the pan. Which ever part you like best, this is a winner all around. It's just as good reheated too!

Tips for Making Crispy Rice Chicken:

  • Use day-old rice: This will help the rice to crisp up better.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry before coating it in the flour mixture.
  • Use a light touch when coating the chicken in the flour mixture. Too much flour will make the chicken tough.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil. This will help the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam and not crisp up.
  • Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy rice chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crispy, flavorful chicken dish that your whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give crispy rice chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
