GREEN GODDESS ROASTED CHICKEN



Green Goddess Roasted Chicken image

Green Goddess dressing - a creamy, piquant blend of herbs, garlic and anchovies - is good to eat on salad. And it's wonderful as a dipping sauce for vegetables. But its best use may be as a marinade for roast chicken. The mild chicken absorbs all the zippy flavors of the dressing, to emerge from the oven fragrant and golden, flecked with green. To intensify the herbal flavor, some of the green goddess mixture is set aside to use as a sauce. You could even pour a little on a salad or some vegetables on the side, and enjoy the best of all the Green Goddess variations in one savory bite.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 cup packed basil leaves
1/4 cup packed chives
2 garlic cloves, peeled

Steps:

  • In a blender, purée buttermilk, basil, chives, garlic, anchovies (if using), scallion, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper until smooth.

GREEN GODDESS CHICKEN LEGS



Green Goddess Chicken Legs image

Although it seems a bit retro, Green Goddess dressing is experiencing a well-deserved revival as chefs and home cooks discover its charms. It makes a wonderful marinade for chicken legs. Who doesn't love a recipe with four ingredients?

Provided by tshull777

Categories     Chicken

Time 8h55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs skin-on chicken legs
2 cups green goddess salad dressing
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place the chicken legs in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the Green Goddess dressing as well as the parsley and paprika. Pour over the chicken legs. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
  • When ready to cook, set up your grill for indirect medium high 350 degree heat, and preheat, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or you can smoke them, I like to use maple wood for poultry or mesquite is good too.
  • Drain the chicken legs. Arrange the legs directly on the grill grate and grill indirectly, turning once, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the legs are golden brown and cooked through. Then grill over direct heat for 5 minutes to add a little "char" flavor, moving them around cause you don't want them to burn. Serve at once. (Can also be served cold, but the skin will lose its crispiness.).

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (not Greek)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
6 oil-packed anchovies
3 cloves green garlic, or 2 cloves regular garlic
3 cups mixed fresh tender herbs, such as basil, parsley, tarragon, and cilantro
2 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), backbone removed
4 ounces bacon (4 slices), cut into 1/2-inch strips
4 cups torn Little Gem lettuce
2 cups pea shoots or tendrils
1 cup thinly sliced sugar snap peas
1/2 cup thinly sliced watermelon radishes

Steps:

  • Combine buttermilk, mayonnaise, anchovies, garlic, herbs, scallions, mustard, lemon zest and juice, and oil in a blender. Purée until smooth; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt. Place in a resealable bag and add 2 cups dressing; seal and massage to evenly coat chicken in dressing. Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove chicken from refrigerator and let stand 30 minutes at room temperature. Wipe excess dressing from chicken and lightly pat dry; place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Drizzle with oil and season lightly with salt. Roast, breast-side up, until skin is dark golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, 40 to 50 minutes (depending on size). Let stand 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool. Toss lettuce, pea shoots, snap peas, radishes, and bacon with one-third of reserved dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Carve chicken and serve alongside salad, with remaining dressing.
