ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIGS AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Chicken With Figs and Rosemary image

This is truly one of the easiest company-worthy chicken dishes out there. Marinated with citrus zest and rosemary then quickly roasted at high heat, the chicken turns golden, juicy and richly flavored, while the figs cook down into sweet jammy puddles. Use your favorite bone-in chicken parts here, or a mix of pieces. Or if you're starting with a cut up small whole bird (here's a video demonstrating how to do that), add a couple of drumsticks or thighs to reach the 4 1/2 pounds you'll need.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken parts
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
2 rosemary sprigs, needles removed from stems (discard the stems)
2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane or finely minced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange or lemon zest, plus optional orange or lemon wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ripe figs, stemmed and quartered lengthwise
1 to 2 jalapeño or red chile peppers, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss chicken with salt, rosemary, garlic, citrus zest and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight (the longer the better).
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread chicken pieces out on two rimmed baking sheets, making sure there is plenty of room between the pieces. Arrange figs among the chicken pieces, then scatter jalapeño slices on top. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
  • Roast, switching the position of the baking pans after 15 minutes so everything browns evenly, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes for the breast meat, and 30 to 40 for the dark meat. Serve chicken with the orange or lemon wedges for squeezing, if you like.

CHICKEN WITH RAISINS



Chicken With Raisins image

I turn to this recipe -- adapted from the French chef Madeleine Kamman, who died in the summer of 2018 - when cool weather is on the horizon. Perhaps it's the dried fruit or chicken braised in a sauce (instead of being striped on the grill) that appeals to the season. But it's an easy winner for those first dinners when fall appears. Though plumped raisins are called for, other dried fruit, like diced figs or quartered prunes work well, too.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     poultry, main course

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup black raisins
1/2 cup brandy
1 chicken, cut in 8 pieces
3 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots
3/4 cup verjus (see note)
2 tablespoons glace de viande or de volaille (concentrated meat or chicken stock) or packaged roasted chicken base
3 tablespoons crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  • Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb chicken breast (thin sliced by Purdue)
1 cup orange juice (no pulp)
3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced ginger
3 egg whites (or All Whites)
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons chicken seasoning salt (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic clove
2 dried red peppers (for spice...optional)
2 tablespoons water
vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350°F.
  • Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and seasoning salt.
  • Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch bite size pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl or Ziploc bag, combine the flour, the remaining teaspoon salt and the granulated sugar.
  • In another bowl whisk together the egg whites and water to create an egg wash (Note: If using All-Whites, you do not need to add water).
  • Take handful of the chicken-bites and briefly dip and hand toss into the egg wash (coat well).
  • Now toss the chicken around in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  • Deep fry for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Then set aside and drain excess grease.
  • In a Wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil.
  • While the chicken is frying, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger.
  • Sauté or sweat the garlic and onions in the wok.
  • Pour in the orange sauce. Heat orange sauce until boiling on high heat, then simmer on low heat.
  • Add chicken to sauce.
  • Let simmer for 10 minutes, occasionally turning over chicken for even coating. Chicken will soften and sauce will somewhat thicken as it simmers.
  • Add dried red peppers during the last few minutes of simmering for spice.
  • NOTE: For thicker sauce add more brown sugar. For more sauce, double sauce ingredients.
  • Trick: For leftovers, refrigerate chicken separate from sauce so that the chicken doesn't get soggy.
  • Serve over rice. Add stir-fry broccoli for traditional orange chicken meal. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavours, use a combination of sweet and sour ingredients. The tanginess of the oranges complements the sweetness of the raisins and figs, while the ginger and garlic add a touch of spice.
  • To get the most succulent chicken, marinate it in the orange juice and soy sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help infuse the chicken with flavour and keep it moist during cooking.
  • To achieve a crispy coating on the chicken, double-coat it in the cornstarch mixture. This will help create a barrier between the chicken and the sauce, preventing it from becoming soggy.
  • To make sure the sauce is thick and glossy, cook it over medium heat and stir constantly. This will help reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavours.
  • Serve the orange chicken with steamed rice or noodles. The fluffy rice or noodles will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Orange chicken with golden raisins and figs is a tantalizing dish that offers a unique blend of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. By following the tips mentioned above, you can easily recreate this restaurant-style dish at home. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and indulge in this delectable culinary experience.
