DAD'S ROAST CHICKEN -- MY WAY WITH A PARSLEY LEMON JUICE OIL



Dad's Roast Chicken -- My Way with a Parsley Lemon Juice Oil image

My dad's roast chicken is really simple. He stuffs a whole chicken with fresh herbs and seasons it with salt and pepper, then pops it in the oven. My version, which uses chicken that's already cut into serving pieces instead of a whole chicken, is less work and cooks a lot faster and more evenly. I've also spruced up the flavor with some grated lemon rind and finish it off with a fresh, colorful and tangy oil for drizzling over the finished chicken. Dad ? your chicken's good but I may have one up on you on this one!

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken cut in 8 serving pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Olive oil, for drizzling
The rind of 1/2 lemon, zested
1/2 bunch parsley
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
  • Trim off any excess skin or fat from the chicken. Cut off and discard the wing tips. Place the chicken pieces in an 11 by 13-inch baking pan, or any pan that that they fit in without crowding. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, olive oil, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Toss through all the seasonings and then arrange the chicken piece skin side up in the pan. You can season the chicken pieces and set them up in the roaster up to a day before you cook them. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Roast until the skin is nicely browned and there is no pink near the thigh bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. Check both white meat and dark meat. If the white meat is done before the dark meat, take it out and set it on the serving plate until the dark meat is done.
  • For the parsley drizzle, wash and dry the parsley. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use immediately to garnish the roast chicken.

MY DAD'S LEMON CHICKEN



My Dad's Lemon Chicken image

While my mother dabbled in French pâtés, Indian food, and American cakes of all kinds, my father found his true passion in Chinese food. He still has a special kitchen cabinet filled with various soy sauces, vinegars, and spices. When he cooks, every inch of the kitchen is covered in small bowls with all the prep. This dish remains, by far, my favorite -- and requires the fewest bowls. The cornstarch creates a great crispy layer on the chicken, and the tang of the lemon and ginger makes it addictive.

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h55m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
Juice of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 medium garlic cloves, grated
6 cups peanut oil
1 lemon, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1/2 small Thai (bird's-eye) chile

Steps:

  • 1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with 3 tablespoons of the cornstarch until smooth. Season the chicken on all sides with salt, and submerge it in the egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • 2. Make the lemon sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, white vinegar, and sugar. Simmer over medium heat until the flavors come together and the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic, and simmer for 1 additional minute. Remove from the heat and keep the sauce warm.
  • 3. Fry the chicken: Pour the peanut oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot (or wok) and bring it to 350 degrees F over medium-low heat. (Use a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature as it heats.) Remove the chicken from any liquid in the bowl and spread it in an even layer on a baking sheet. Use a fine-mesh sieve to sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons cornstarch in an even layer over all sides of the chicken pieces. Drop some of the lemon slices carefully into the oil and fry until light brown with crisped edges, just 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel. In batches, add the chicken to the hot oil and cook until crispy and browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to the baking sheet. Season with salt.
  • 4. Finish the dish: Stir the lemon slices and fresh chile into the sauce. Arrange the fried chicken pieces on a platter, and pour the sauce over them. Serve immediately.

DAD'S FAVORITE CHICKEN ENCHILADAS



Dad's Favorite Chicken Enchiladas image

My dad was raised in Phoenix, Arizona, so he knows his way around Mexican food. The one thing that he will complain about in the huge international smorgasbord that is the Houston restaurant scene is the distinct lack of "REAL Mexican food", just a lot of TexMex. Nothing wrong with TexMex, but compared to the stuff in Arizona, it's a little... unbalanced. So when he said that my enchiladas were the best he had ever tasted, I took that as the true compliment it was. This is easy but time consuming, real cooking times are explained in the recipe. You can cook the using a skillet or a crock pot. You could even use leftover chicken by skipping to the rolling - but I would season the chicken with 1/2 cup stock and a quarter of the spices listed.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 tablespoons chili powder (RZ is making me misspell it, I mean dried and ground ancho, chipotle, or cayenne)
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken
2 cups chicken stock (optional)
1 (16 ounce) jar enchilada sauce
24 flour tortillas (no, not corn!)
2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese (whatever you prefer) or 2 cups monterey jack cheese (whatever you prefer)

Steps:

  • Add oil and spices to a large one gallon bag. Mix thoroughly. Add chicken. Squoosh around to coat the chicken evenly. Yup, technical term, "squoosh". If you can, stick this in the fridge overnight. If not, don't sweat over it.
  • At this point you can freeze the meat, add the packages of tortillas, and have an OAMC meal. Simply defrost everything later and assemble. Do not assemble this and then freeze, flour tortillas do not freeze well in the presence of liquid.
  • Now, you can dump the spiced chicken in the crockpot for 6 hours on low. Or you can brown the chicken in a big skillet on medium high heat - 4-5 minutes each side, then add chicken stock and simmer about 20 minutes until the chicken about falls apart.
  • Remove chicken from cooking vessel to a large bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Shred the chicken using two forks or your hands (or just look at it hard if you used your crockpot). Add the reserved cooking liquid and stir to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F Prep a 9x13-inch baking dish by pouring 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom and "Rolling" it around the bottom to evenly coat.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the chicken onto the bottom third of a tortilla, roll tight, and place in the pan, seam side down. Continue until you have filled the dish or run out of chicken. Pour on the rest of the enchilada sauce, and sprinkle on the cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is all melted and the sauce is bubbly and thick.
  • Real Cook times: 20 to 30 minutes of work time (how fast can you roll them?); 6 hours cooking (if you use a crock pot) or 30 minutes cooking (if you use the stovetop); and 20 minutes in the oven.

CHICKEN & NOODLES



Chicken & Noodles image

A one pot comfort food meal. Very easy to make with minimal ingredients. If I'm out of ideas for dinner and ask around, chicken and noodles is usually suggested. My Mom made this when we were kids, now my daughter makes it for my grandson. He always says, "More noodles, please." and slurps some more down. P. S. I've even started cooking the chicken frozen in the broth. It eventually thaws out.

DAD'S CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Dad's Chicken Noodle Soup image

This recipe is easy and inexpensive, freezes well, and lasts for days (though in his recipe he says it lasts for 2 days). We keep it in a big pot in the fridge and microwave it all week. My dad posted this at everything2.com back in 2001, but I thought I'd post it here, too! I love it, and it was one of the first things I cooked when I moved away from home, partially because there isn't much skill involved. A college student in a new apartment can definitely handle sticking a chicken in a roasting pan and cutting up some veggies!

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 big pot o' soup, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken
1 lb baby carrots (I use one small bag)
1 head celery
8 teaspoons chicken bouillon
8 cups water
1 lb egg noodles

Steps:

  • Cook one whole chicken. I use a blue roasting pan with lid, wash the chicken, place in pan, cover, into oven at 350° for an hour. Don't forget to flour the liver and cook it too, it's the best part. No need to add water or anything.
  • When the chicken is done, set aside to cool.
  • Cut up a pound of carrots and boil them for 10 minutes in a saucepan,
  • then add six cut up stalks of celery to the boiling carrots and cook for 10 minutes longer.
  • Drain the vegetables and rinse with cold water. Careful now, make sure the celery is a little crunchy.
  • Start heating 8 cups of water in your large soup pot, when it boils add chicken bouillon in the proper amount and boil for a few minutes. Then set soup pot off heat.
  • Add the cut up chicken meat that has been separated from the bones, and skin and other littly icky chicken parts.
  • The chicken left over stuff then gets boiled for 10 minutes in a small saucepan with about 4 cups of water to leech out the true essence of chicken. That part isn't really necessary, but it tastes better when you do that step.
  • The cooled carrots and celery are now added to the soup pot.
  • Boil a 1 pound package of egg noodles, don't cook too long, al dente is the goal. Rinse in cold water and into the soup pot.
  • By now the chicken parts are boiled, pour through a strainer and when the liquid cools some, the fat will rise to the top. Skim that off, and add that last 2 cups or so of liquid to the soup pot.
  • That's about it. There's enough salt from the bouillon, I guess you could do herbs if you know about that, but I just let it cool a litle while and into the fridge. We microwave it to reheat, it's gone in 2 days. It feels healthy. Bon appetite.
