15-MINUTE FRIED HERBED CHICKEN



15-Minute Fried Herbed Chicken image

This chicken takes so little time but tastes so good that it raises the bar for weeknight cooking. Chicken pieces are smothered in an herb and onion paste, dredged in flour and fried in the amount of time needed to make a salad. The amount of oil you need to crisp up the chicken is minimal, and the flavor is terrific.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 3 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, like tarragon and sage
2 tablespoons tahini or peanut butter
1/4 cup olive oil, more for frying
Flour for dredging
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or 4 half-breasts
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges for serving
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender or the container of a food processor, combine garlic, onion, herbs and tahini. As you purée the mixture, slowly add just enough olive oil through the feed tube to make a thick, smooth paste; do not let it get too thin.
  • Put flour in a shallow bowl. Place chicken in another bowl. Rub puréed mixture over chicken, then dredge each piece in flour. Gently shake off any excess flour, coat again with paste and dredge once more in flour.
  • Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a skillet; when it is hot, fry chicken for about 4 minutes each side, until well browned and cooked through; it will take longer if you use chicken with the bone in. Garnish with parsley and serve hot or warm, with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right herbs: Different herbs have different flavors, so it's important to choose the right ones for your dish. For example, rosemary and thyme are classic herbs for chicken, while basil and oregano are great for Italian-style dishes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to cook chicken, so don't be afraid to try new things. You can bake it, fry it, grill it, or even slow-cook it. Experiment with different cooking methods and flavors until you find a combination that you love.
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible: Fresh herbs have a more intense flavor than dried herbs, so they're a great way to add flavor to your dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they're more concentrated.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not cook evenly and it will be more likely to stick to the pan. Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that it can cook properly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: It's important to cook the chicken until it is cooked through to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
