Brined Fried Chicken

In Chicken recipes On 0 Comments

For fried chicken:
1) Put the chicken in a glass baking dish and pour the brine over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.

2) Remove the chicken from the brine, remove any peppercorns stuck to the skin, and let the chicken dry slightly on a wire rack while preparing the buttermilk and flour.

3) In a large bowl, stir together the buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of the salt. In another large bowl, stir together the flour with the remaining salt and spices.

4) Dredge the chicken 4 pieces at a time in the flour. Transfer to the buttermilk, gently shaking the bowl to coat the chicken. Transfer the chicken back to the flour, being careful not to scrape off the batter. Gently shake the bowl to coat the chicken with flour, then transfer the pieces to a wire rack, again being careful not to scrape off the batter. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken and let dry on the wire rack for 30 minutes.

5) Pour the oil into a 5-quart pot and heat it to a temperature of 350°F. Cook the white and dark meat separately over medium heat. The oil will cool to about 300°F after adding the chicken; this is the correct heat for cooking the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the chicken over and cook for an additional 10 minutes for white meat and 12 minutes for dark meat. If the chicken gets too dark, lower the heat. Drain on a wire rack and repeat with remaining chicken. Serve hot or cold.

For brine:
1) Pour 4 cups cold water into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and add the sugar, salt, bay leaf, peppercorns, and coriander seeds. Allow to cool completely.

General Ingredients

Fried chicken:

  • 2 chickens, 3 pounds each, cut into 8 pieces each
  • Brine (recipe follows)
  • 3 cups of buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons of plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 cups of of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of plus 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 3 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper
  • Oil for frying (I cook 4 pieces of chicken at a time in 8 cups of oil in a 5-quart pot.)

Brine:

  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds

Cooks’ note: Chicken skin should be clean with no drying and no odor. It shouldn’t look of feel slimy. Do not use a wooden cutting board for chicken; I have a plastic board at home that I use only for meat and poultry, and I recommend that you do the same. Be sure to wash your cutting board thoroughly after cutting chicken.

Grilled Chicken with Lemon, Garlic, and Oregano

In Chicken recipes On 0 Comments

1) Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking.

2) Discard excess fat from chicken and season with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.

To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
1) Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal briquettes (80 to 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of briquettes).

2) When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken legs in 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to a tray.

3) Put all browned legs on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (flesh will no longer be pink when cut near joint), 15 to 25 minutes more. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.

4) Add 15 briquettes evenly to coals and wait until they just light, about 5 minutes. (They will not be grayish white yet but will give off enough heat with other briquettes to maintain correct cooking temperature.)

5) Sear chicken breasts, starting with skin sides down, in 2 batches on rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to tray.

6) Put all browned chicken breasts on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), 12 to 15 minutes more. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.

7) Grill lemon slices on rack over coals, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.

To cook chicken using a gas grill:
1) Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Turn off 1 burner and arrange chicken legs on lightly oiled rack above it. Cook, covered with lid, turning legs once, until cooked through, about 40 minutes total. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.

2) Cook chicken breasts on rack above unlit burner, covered with lid, turning once, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), about 30 minutes total. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.

3) Grill lemon slices on rack over flames, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.

General Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons of black pepper
  • 1/3 cup of olive oil
  • 12 whole chicken legs (7 lb)
  • 8 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (8 lb)
  • 5 lemons, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices

Cooks’ note: If you aren’t able to grill, chicken can be roasted, skin sides up, in 2 shallow baking pans in upper and lower thirds of a 500°F oven, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until skin is crisp and chicken is cooked through, about 40 minutes total. Lemon slices can be grilled in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan.

White-Cut Chicken

In Chicken recipes On 0 Comments

Make chicken:
1) Rinse chicken inside and out, then bend legs to tuck feet (if still attached) inside cavity. Stuff cavity with scallions, ham, and ginger.

2) Bring water with salt to a boil in a deep 7- to 8-quart stockpot or pasta pot. Add chicken, breast side down (chicken may not be completely covered with liquid), then reduce heat and simmer, covered, 20 minutes.

3) Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 30 minutes. Turn chicken over and let stand, covered, 15 minutes more (chicken will be cooked through).

4) While chicken stands, fill a large bowl three-fourths full with ice and cold water. Carefully remove chicken from pot with a large slotted spoon and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Let stand, gently turning over once (be careful not to tear skin), until cool, about 10 minutes total. Carefully transfer to a cutting board and discard scallions, ham, and ginger from cavity. Pat dry. Rub skin with sesame oil.

Make dipping sauce:
1) Stir together scallions and soy sauce in a small heatproof bowl.

2) Heat wok over high heat until a drop of water vaporizes instantly. Pour oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating sides. When oil just begins to smoke, carefully add ginger (oil will spatter) and stir-fry 30 seconds. Immediately remove from heat and pour over scallion mixture, stirring to combine (scallions will wilt).

3) To cut and serve chicken on a platter (Chinese restaurant–style), cut off the head and neck (if attached) with a cleaver and put at one end of a large platter. (These parts, along with the back and feet, aren’t always eaten.) Cut off the feet. Cut off the drumsticks and thighs, then cut crosswise through the boneinto 1-inch pieces. Place the feet and leg meat at the other end of the platter. Cut off the wings, separating them at the joints, and put on the sides of the platter. Cut through the ribs, separating breast from back, then cut the backbone crosswise into 3 pieces and put them in the center of the platter. (Striking the cleaver with a rubber mallet makes the cuts clean.) Cut the breast crosswise through the bone into 1-inch pieces and arrange on the back. Alternatively, cut chicken according to procedure and mound pieces in a bowl.

4) Drizzle 2 tablespoons dipping sauce over chicken and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature, with remaining dipping sauce on the side.

General Ingredients

For chicken

  • 1 (3- to 3 1/2-lb) whole chicken (with head and feet if desired), neck (if without head) and giblets reserved for another use if desired
  • 1 bunch scallions, halved crosswise

  • Special equipment: a rasp grater; a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok; a heavy cleaver

Cooks’ notes: Chicken can be cooked and rubbed with sesame oil (but not cut) 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. · Chicken can be cut up and arranged on platter 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before serving. Drizzle with dipping sauce just before serving. · Dipping sauce can be made 4 hours ahead and kept, covered, at room temperature.

Crispy Lemon and Herb Chicken Recipe

In Chicken recipes On 0 Comments

Having seen this recipe being prepared by Gordon Ramsay on the F Word, I decided to try make a slighter lighter version for the summer that leaves out the cheese and goes nicely with salads. I never tried making breadcrumb coated meat before, so I was very surprised at how easy it is and how crispy it can be! You definitely should try it at home!!

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C.
2. Prepare your seasoned breadcrumbs by mixing the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, fresh thyme, and the piri piri seasoning together. ( You can pick and choose any herb combination you prefer, but if you want to use soft herbs like basil it’s best to use dried. In this recipe the piri piri seasoning gave the chicken a really nice spicy kick.)
3. Skin and pound the chicken breasts till thin.
4. Lightly season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, and then dust them with flour.
5. Dip the floured chicken breasts in the beaten egg and finish by coating them in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
6. A good glug of olive oil in a hot frying pan and saute the escalopes till golden brown – this takes aprox 2min on each side.
7. Leave the cooked chicken breasts on some fresh kitchen towel for few minutes to drain, then move them to a baking tray.
8. Put them in the oven to cook for further 5 min.
9. Slice the chicken into strips and serve with a nice salad.

Enjoy.
( I served the chicken with a tomato, rocket n basil salad.. n some new potatoes seasoned with salt n pepper, lemon juice and red onion.)
