CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Cast Iron Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken with Roasted Root Vegetables image

I combined 3 recipes to create tender juicy chicken with an awesome honey-sriracha glaze. If you've always wanted to cook more stuff with turnips, give this a try. Aside from the delicious sauce, the most important part of this dish is using the high heat of cast iron to brown the chicken and vegetables before finishing in the oven.

Time 1h23m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 large chicken thighs with skin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt, divided
4 tablespoons peanut oil
5 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
4 potatoes, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 turnip, chopped
1 head garlic, peeled
¾ cup red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and spices.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When roasting vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding the pan will prevent them from roasting evenly and will result in soggy vegetables.
  • Roast Vegetables Until Tender: To ensure that your vegetables are cooked through, roast them until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The exact roasting time will vary depending on the type of vegetable, so be sure to check them regularly.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your chicken is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Chicken Rest: After roasting the chicken, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chicken.

Conclusion:

This honey roasted chicken and root vegetable dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of tender chicken, roasted vegetables, and flavorful honey glaze is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and preparation, you can create this impressive dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
