Crispy Chicken with Rosemary-Lemon Salt image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for frying
Salt:
1 (6-inch) sprig fresh rosemary
1/4 cup kosher salt
Zest of 1/2 large lemon
1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Zest of 1/2 large lemon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fine cornmeal or instant polenta

Steps:

  • For the salt: Heat 1/4-inch oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat (the oil is hot enough when a pinch of cornmeal sizzles when added to the pan). Add the rosemary sprig and fry for 30 seconds until crisp. Using tongs, remove the rosemary sprig and drain on paper towels. Remove the leaves and finely chop to yield 1 tablespoon. Place the rosemary, salt, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until combined. Set aside.
  • For the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the chicken, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Add the cornmeal and toss until the chicken is coated. Add 1/2 the chicken to the same skillet used to cook the rosemary and fry until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Sprinkle with the rosemary-lemon salt and serve.

This chicken was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't come out crispy at all. It was still tasty, but not what I was expecting.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a chicken salad with the leftover chicken and it was delicious.

This chicken was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less rosemary-lemon salt next time.

I found that the chicken took longer to cook than the recipe stated. I had to add an extra 10 minutes to the cooking time.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but the crispy skin made up for it.

I was a bit skeptical about the rosemary-lemon salt at first, but it really added a wonderful flavor to the chicken. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.
