GOLDEN CHICKEN



Golden Chicken image

This chicken dish combines elements from three of my favorite chicken recipes: chicken curry, chicken tagine, and a Creole-style smothered chicken. The braising liquid is rich and delicious, getting its yellow golden color from turmeric and saffron and its intense flavor from a low-and-slow simmer. Serve over buttery mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. Ladle the sauce over top, and garnish with sliced green onions and minced jalapeños.

Categories     Chicken Legs

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 (12 ounce) chicken leg quarters
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced jalapeño pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 ½ cups cold water
1 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed
1 teaspoon dried currants
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon base

Steps:

  • Place chicken leg quarters on a work surface with the skin facing up. Make a cut into the thickest part of each drumstick, all the way down to the bone. Then make two cuts, about 1 inch apart, right in the center of each thigh. Season both sides generously with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until skin is nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
  • Turn the heat back on to medium; add onion, celery, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Sauté until onion turns translucent and veggies have softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cumin, paprika, coriander, turmeric, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon, and garlic; cook and stir until garlic has cooked a bit and spices are toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste, vinegar, water, and saffron. Increase heat to high and stir in currants and chicken base; bring to a simmer.
  • Add chicken to the skillet, skin-side up, and reduce heat to low. Baste chicken with the liquid. Cover and cook over low or medium-low heat at a gentle simmer for 1 hour.
  • Flip chicken, cover, and simmer gently until the meat is fork-tender and almost falling off the bone, about 30 more minutes.
  • Flip and baste chicken again. Increase heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until chicken is very tender and the braising liquid has reduced a bit, 20 to 30 minutes more.
  • Taste the braising liquid and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CROUTONS



Roasted Chicken with Croutons image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

One 4- to 5-pound roaster chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 head garlic, sliced in half
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 baguette
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dijon mustard, as needed
Bistro Salad, recipe follows
1 head Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
Handful of chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon and parsley (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. When hot, put a cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat, about 5 minutes.
  • Dry the chicken with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Generously season the chicken inside and out with the salt mixture. Stuff the chicken cavity with the thyme, rosemary, garlic and onion.
  • Slice the baguette on the bias into five 2-inch-thick slices. Spread some butter on one side of each slice. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and arrange the baguette slices buttered-side down in the center of the skillet. Place the chicken on the baguette slices, making sure all of the bread is covered by the chicken. Roast until the chicken is golden brown, an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Remove the baguette slices from the skillet and reserve.
  • For the pan sauce: While the chicken is resting, put the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the wine and scrape with a wooden spoon to remove all the brown bits. Add the chicken stock and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. If any juices from the chicken have collected on the cutting board, pour them into the skillet now. Add in the butter piece by piece, waiting for each to melt before stirring in the next piece. Stir in the rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For serving: Carve the chicken and serve with the baguette slices, pan sauce, Dijon mustard and Bistro Salad.
  • Combine the lettuce and herbs in a medium bowl. In a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, shallots, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake to combine. Pour over the salad and toss. Serve immediately.

GOLDEN ROAST CHICKEN WITH SWEETCORN, SAGE & GARLIC



Golden roast chicken with sweetcorn, sage & garlic image

Shake up Sunday lunch with a whole chicken oozing with sage & garlic butter, which bastes the corn cobs and onions as they roast

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large free-range corn-fed chicken , about 2kg/4lb 8oz, taken out of the fridge 1hr before cooking
2 tbsp butter , softened
2 garlic cloves , crushed
handful small sage leaves
1 large onion , halved then thickly sliced
4 sweetcorn cobs, halved
salad and crusty bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Untie the chicken, then loosen the skin from the breast meat using your fingers. Take care not to make any rips. Season half the butter, then mash the garlic into it. Push the butter and then the sage leaves under the skin (get the sage leaves as flat and spread out as you can, so that they look nice as you bring the bird to the table). Push half the onion into the cavity, then retie the legs loosely with string. Smooth the rest of the butter all over the chicken and season generously.
  • Put the rest of the onion in a large roasting tin and set the chicken on top. Cover loosely with a large piece of foil and roast for 1 hr 40 mins.
  • Remove the foil; the chicken will be almost cooked, and the onions turning dark gold and soft. Turn the corn cobs in the cooking juices, then return to the oven for 20 mins more, turning them over halfway, until tender and catching a little colour here and there.
  • Insert a skewer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh. When it's cooked, the juices that run out will be clear. Cover the whole pan loosely with foil again and let the meat rest while you dress a salad and gather everyone to the table.

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN



Perfect Roast Chicken image

The almost universal appeal of roasted chicken stems from its power to comfort. The ideal roasted chicken recipe will leave your chicken golden brown and gleaming, tender, and juicy. The crackle of chicken as it roasts and the wondrous aroma that perfumes the kitchen provoke a feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 six-pound roasting chicken
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium onions, peeled and sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
2 lemons
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat

Steps:

  • Let chicken and 1 tablespoon butter stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Remove and discard the plastic pop-up timer from chicken if there is one. Remove the giblets and excess fat from the chicken cavity. Rinse chicken inside and out under cold running water. Dry chicken thoroughly with paper towels. Tuck the wing tips under the body. Sprinkle the cavity of the chicken liberally with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • In the center of a heavy-duty roasting pan, place onion slices in two rows, touching. Place the palm of your hand on top of lemon and, pressing down, roll lemon back and forth several times. This softens the lemon and allows the juice to flow more freely. Pierce entire surface of lemon with a fork. Using the side of a large knife, gently press on garlic cloves to open slightly. Insert garlic cloves, thyme sprigs, and lemon into cavity. Place chicken in pan, on onion slices. Cut about 18 inches of kitchen twine, bring chicken legs forward, cross them, and tie together.
  • Spread the softened butter over entire surface of chicken, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place in the oven, and roast until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and the juices run clear when pierced, about 1 1/2 hours. When chicken seems done, insert an instant-read thermometer into the breast, then the thigh. The breast temperature should read 180 degrees and the thigh 190 degrees.
  • Remove chicken from oven, and transfer to a cutting board with a well. Let chicken stand 10 to 15 minutes so the juices settle. Meanwhile, pour the pan drippings into a shallow bowl or fat separator, and leave onions in the pan. Leave any brown baked-on bits in the bottom of the roasting pan, and remove and discard any blackened bits. Using a large spoon or fat separator, skim off and discard as much fat as possible. Pour the remaining drippings and the juices that have collected under the resting chicken back into the roasting pan. Place on the stove over medium-high heat to cook, about 1 minute. Add chicken stock, raise heat to high, and, using a wooden spoon, stir up and combine the brown bits with the stock until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Strain the gravy into a small bowl, pressing on onions to extract any liquid. Discard onions, and stir in the remaining tablespoon of cold butter until melted and incorporated. Untie the legs, and remove and discard garlic, thyme, and lemon. Carve, and serve gravy on the side.
