Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil, for the baking sheet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups panko
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (or parsley)
2 teaspoons paprika
8 small bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin removed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Combine the butter and garlic in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave to melt the butter, about 1 minute. Whisk in the Dijon and 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne.
  • In another large bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, chives, paprika and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Dip the chicken in the mustard mixture to coat and roll in the panko on all sides. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet so the pieces do not touch.
  • Bake on the center oven rack until the coating is browned and crispy and the chicken is no longer pink near the bone, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer to a large platter and serve.

DEVILED CHICKEN THIGHS



Deviled Chicken Thighs image

In cooking, the term ''deviled'' has several meanings, but it most often implies a preparation with a sharp flavor, most often derived from mustard, vinegar, cayenne or other chiles. In this dish, you don't need vinegar, because there is plenty of acidity in Dijon mustard. Nor, strictly speaking, do you need cayenne (and I omit it when cooking for children); the taste is strong without it. You can make this dish with chicken breasts if you prefer; I recommend bone-in breasts, which follow the same procedure. For boneless, skinless breasts -- forget crispness, of course -- smear the meat all over with the mustard mixture, then broil it for just about six minutes, turning two or three times to prevent burning.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken thighs, or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced shallots, onion or scallion
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, or to taste
Minced parsley for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to its maximum, and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and place it in a pan, skin side up. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallots and cayenne. (If you have a small food processor, you can chop the shallots by throwing them in with the mustard and pulsing the machine on and off a few times.)
  • When the chicken has browned, remove it from oven, and turn it. Spread just a teaspoon or so of the mustard mixture on the underside of the chicken, and broil about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, and spread the remaining mixture on the upper, or skin side. Broil until mustard begins to brown.
  • At this point, the chicken may be done. (There will be only the barest trace of pink near the bone; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat will read 160 degrees.) If it is not done, turn off the broiler and leave the chicken in the oven 5 more minutes or so. Garnish and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken thighs or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks, about 2 pounds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced shallot, onion, or scallion
1/4 teaspoon cayenne or Tabasco sauce, or to taste
Minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to its maximum and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Season the chicken on both sides and place it in a pan, skin side up. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallot, and cayenne. (If you have a small food processor, just throw them in there and pulse the machine on and off a few times.)

If it is not, turn off the broiler and let the chicken remain in the oven for another 5 minutes or so. Garnish with the parsley if you like and serve.
  • Variations
  • For extra crunch, combine the mustard and shallot with about 1 cup bread crumbs. Be especially careful in broiling, for the bread crumbs will burn very soon after they brown.
  • For extra flavor, combine the mustard and shallot with about 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or basil, cilantro, dill, or chervil). Proceed as directed.
  • You can use the same coating with pork or veal chops; they should be at least 1 inch thick. Cooking time will be about the same.

Tips

  • Prep Your Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure you have everything you need.
  • Marinate Your Chicken: Marinating the chicken thighs in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and spices adds flavor and tenderizes the meat.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is ideal for cooking the chicken thighs because it retains heat well and creates a crispy, golden brown crust.
  • Cook the Chicken Thighs in Batches: Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken thighs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken thighs are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking can dry out the meat.
  • Make the Deviled Sauce: While the chicken thighs are cooking, make the deviled sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the Chicken Thighs: Once the chicken thighs are cooked, serve them immediately with the deviled sauce. You can garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion

Deviled chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are marinated in a flavorful mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and spices, then cooked in a cast iron skillet until crispy and golden brown. The deviled sauce is a creamy and tangy sauce that perfectly complements the chicken. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
