MAPLE BAKED CHICKEN



Maple Baked Chicken image

Since I found this recipe a month ago in Essence Great Cooking, we've had this three times! Smells like honey-mustard when baking, and serves up slightly sweet and spicy, without a mustard-y taste. Enjoy the cookbook original, but I have added quite a bit and here is the version my family prefers. Works fine with just the poultry seasoning if you are short on spices.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 apples (1 red, 1 green), cored and cut into wedges
8 medium shallots, quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, torn
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Mix the chicken broth, maple syrup, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the skillet with the apples and shallots and boil until reduced by about three-quarters, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat, until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup real maple syrup
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves with large pieces of skin intact (about 3 lb)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 425°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil.
  • In small bowl, mix syrup, vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the garlic.
  • Starting on one side of each chicken, slowly work your fingers under the skin. You are trying to loosen the connection between the skin and meat, not remove the skin. Place chicken, skin sides up, in foil-lined pan. For each chicken piece, use a spoon to drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the syrup mixture under the skin and spread evenly over the meat. Dot each with 1 tablespoon of the butter pieces. Evenly replace any skin you may have displaced. Rub skin with oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
  • Roast chicken uncovered 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when thickest part is cut to bone (180°F). Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving to let juices reabsorb.
