MAPLE AND CAYENNE GLAZED CHICKEN



Maple and Cayenne Glazed Chicken image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 (3-pound) chickens, wing tips, spine and breast plate removed, cut in half
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup real maple syrup
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make a small hole in the extra skin on the chicken legs and poke the end of the drumsticks through to form a perfect package. Toss the chickens generously with olive oil and salt. Arrange the chicken on a sheet tray or a baking dish lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Roast the chickens until they are about three-quarters of the way done, 20 to 25 minutes. The skin should start to brown and crisp.
  • While the chickens are roasting, combine the maple syrup and cayenne in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the syrup is reduced by half to three-quarters, or until the syrup is very thick and syrupy.
  • After the chickens have roasted for 20 to 25 minutes, brush each piece of chicken generously with the reduced syrup. Continue to roast for another 10 to 12 minutes, brushing the skin with the syrup 1 or 2 more times while cooking. The skin should start to become very dark and sticky. If the skin starts to get too dark, cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Transfer the chickens to a serving platter and let rest about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Sweet and spicy!!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use air-chilled chicken for the best flavor and texture. Air-chilled chicken is more tender and flavorful than regular chicken because it has been chilled using cold air instead of water.
  • Use a good quality glaze: The glaze is what gives this chicken its amazing flavor, so make sure you use a good quality product. Look for a glaze that is made with real maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chicken.

Conclusion:

Maple and cayenne glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to add some flavor to your chicken and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty chicken recipe, give this one a try.
