HUNGARIAN CHICKEN



Hungarian Chicken image

Ever since I made Hungarian Chicken for the first time (after coming across it in an old church cookbook), it's been a family and company favorite. Seconds are always requested. My husband, our three children (4, 2 and 4 months-quite an active group!) and I live in a very small town in the Texas panhandle. We enjoy working outside the yard or our small garden. But, to tell you the truth, I think I'd be content in the kitchen all day!

PRESSURE COOKER HUNGARIAN CHICKEN



Pressure Cooker Hungarian Chicken image

I adapted this recipe from "The Pressure Cooker Gourmet", by Victoria Wise. You can substitute any kind of chicken pieces, bone-in or boneless. You would just need to adjust cooking time based on your choice. I actually leave the skin on, I'm weird and kind of like the skin, even when its "soggy"!

Csirke Paprikas is the Hungarian term for this delicious dish. My mom has been making this for 35 years! Recently she went to visit Budapest and found this little cafe that served it. She liked it so well, she modified her recipe to closely match that, and here it is, enjoy! Serve over rice or egg noodles.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC



Pressure Cooker Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic image

Typically, chicken with 40 cloves of garlic needs to cook for a long time to mellow out all that garlicky sharpness, but in this recipe, a pressure cooker softens and sweetens the garlic in record time. Still, 40 cloves is for the most dedicated garlic lovers, so feel free to reduce the quantity if you like; the recipe will work all the same. The addition of beans to the classic dish makes it a one-pot meal. The chicken skin won't be crisp at the end of cooking, so if that bothers you, discard it afterward - it will have done its duty, imparting deep chicken flavor to the dish - or you could place the thighs on a baking sheet and set them under the broiler to brown just before serving.

Categories     dinner, beans, one pot, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 4 to 6 large thighs)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
40 garlic cloves (3 to 4 heads of garlic), smashed
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 (28-ounce) can or 2 (14-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
2 fresh thyme sprigs or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 scallions, white and light green parts thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper. Turn on the sauté setting of a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker and warm the oil. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear until the skin is browned and releases easily from the pot, 6 to 8 minutes. (If you have more than 4 thighs, you may need to do this in two batches.) Using tongs, remove the chicken.
  • Add the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until just softened, about 2 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, and toast, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds, then add the white wine and vinegar. Stir well, scraping up all the browned bits. Turn off the sauté setting.
  • Stir in the beans and thyme. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Nestle the chicken thighs on top, skin-side up. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
  • Allow the pressure to reduce naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Squeeze in the lemon juice and fold in the scallions and parsley. Serve the beans and chicken in shallow bowls.

WHOLE PRESSURE COOKED CHICKEN



Whole Pressure Cooked Chicken image

Aslo known as "Beer Can Chicken" this American favorite is steam roasted in the pressure cooker whole for the first time! With just a quick sear in the pan, and a sit on the can (of beer) after minutes under high pressure you can have a whole, beautiful, tender, flavorful chicken on the table in about half an hour! The beer is does not only a braise, but the beer can goes in the pan serving as a stand to keep the chicken upright and steaming the chicken from the inside. Pressure cooking a chicken in this position keeps all of the dark meat in direct contact with the bottom of the pressure cooker, and the delicate wings and breast safe from being overcooked. From Hip Pressure Cooking Website, with permission.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2 k. Chicken (measure your pressure cooker prior to buying)
1 small can, Beer
1 Lemon, squeezed and zested.
2 Bay Laurel Leaves
1/3 of the can of Beer
2 Tbsp. Fresh Rosemary, chopped
2 Tbsp. Fresh Sage, chopped
2 Tbsp. Fresh Thyme, chopped
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Juice from one lemon
1/2 tsp. Salt
Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse and dry the chicken inside and out and pat dry. If there are giblets, or the neck, you can use them to flavor the braise, so rinse them off too, and set them aside.
  • Prepare the seasoning by mixing the herbs, olive oil, lemon salt and pepper. Tuck the tips of the wings behind the neck opening of the chicken and brush on the seasoning.
  • In a separate pan (or your pressure cooker) brown the seasoned chicken well on all sides- about 10 minutes. This is the only step that will add color to the bird, so don't be shy with the browning!
  • Prepare (or de-glaze) the pressure cooker by pouring 1/3 of the beer out of the can and putting half of the lemon zest and one bay leaf into the can, then the other bay leaf and the rest of the lemon zest in the pan, with the can in the middle of the pan.
  • Then, lower the chicken into the pressure cooker, sitting it over the can of beer. Before closing the pressure cooker, pour on any of the remaining seasoning, and liquid from the sauté pan over the chicken. If you have any giblets or other parts of the chicken, put those at the bottom of the pan in the braising liquid.
  • Close and lock the lid, turn the heat to high. From the time the pan reaches pressure lower the heat and count 20-25 minutes cooking time at HIGH pressure. When the cooking time is up, open the pressure cooker using the Normal method - release the pressure by pushing, twisting or opening a valve.
  • Carefully remove the chicken pulling from the neck cavity, and not the wings - it will be so tender the wings may come right off in your hands. Place the chicken on the serving platter to rest tented with aluminum foil. Turn the heat up to high and reduce the contents of the pressure cooker without the lid for about 5 minutes.
  • Strain, if you had giblets in there, and pour over the chicken and sprinkle with some fresh rosemary before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken may not cook evenly in the pressure cooker.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Remove any excess fat and skin. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Brown the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
  • Deglaze the skillet: After browning the chicken, add a cup of chicken broth or water to the skillet and scrape up any browned bits. This will help to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
  • Transfer the chicken to the pressure cooker: Place the browned chicken in the pressure cooker along with the deglazed liquid. Add the remaining ingredients, such as the vegetables, spices, and herbs.
  • Cook the chicken: Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and cook the chicken according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a whole chicken, cook on high pressure for 10-12 minutes per pound.
  • Let the pressure release: Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before carefully releasing the remaining pressure.
  • Serve the chicken: Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve the chicken with the sauce and your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Hungarian chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can make a flavorful and tender chicken that your whole family will love. The pressure cooker makes it easy to cook the chicken quickly and evenly, and the sauce is packed with flavor. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
