Buttermilk Roasted Chicken

- Tuesday, October 6, 2015

Buttermilk Roasted Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

Chicken Breast Halves, Bone In - 6

Buttermilk, Well Shaken - 3 Cups

Vegetable Oil - 3/4 Cup-Divided

Garlic Cloves, Crushed - 4

Salt - 1 1/2 Tablespoons

Black Pepper - 1 Teaspoon

Fresh Rosemary, Chopped - 2 Tablespoons

Honey - 2 Tablespoons

Fresh Parsley, Chopped (Optional) - 3 Tablespoons

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a bowl, mix together buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary and honey until salt is dissolved.

2. Divide the chicken pieces into 2- 1 gallon ziplock bags. Pour half of the buttermilk mixture in each bag. Press out as much air as possible and seal bags. Place on a rimmed dish or plate in case bag leaks. Refrigerate overnight or preferably for 2 days. Flip bag halfway through marinating time.

3. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the chicken out of the ziplock bags and place on a wire rack so any extra marinade will drip off. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and place the chicken in a single layer on the pan. Drizzle chicken with remaining oil. Roast chicken at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, then turn off the oven, and allow chicken to continue to cook (just in the remaining heat-don't open the door) for 7-10 minutes more or until chicken is done.

4. Allow chicken to rest for about 7-10 minutes then serve.

Coconut Chicken Adobo

Coconut Chicken Adobo

INGREDIENTS:

8 – 9 pieces Chicken thighs

1/2 cup Kikkoman Soy sauce

1 (13 1/2-ounce) can Coconut milk

3/4 cup Cider vinegar

1 tsp. Garlic powder

2 tsp. Onion powder

2 teaspoons Black pepper

1/2 – 1 tsp. Salt, to your taste

1 tsp. Accent seasoning

4 Bay leaves

1/2 cup Green onions, sliced thin

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash the chicken pieces well and start trimming off the fat and excess skin.

2. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and add the soy sauce. Mix to combine and coat the chicken well. cover and allow the chicken to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.

3. Using a large non-stick fry pan, remove the chicken pieces from the bowl of soy sauce and allow the soy sauce to drain off well. DO NOT discard this soy sauce! Place the chicken into the fry pan, in a single layer, skin side down.

4. On MEDIUM HIGH heat, place the fry pan and start to cook the chicken. This is a different technique, cold chicken in a cold pot; but doing it this way will allow the fat to render off the chicken skin. Allow the chicken pieces to cook, skin side down, until the chicken skin has turned to a golden color and the fat has melted from the chicken. No need to turn the chicken at this point, since we’re just rendering the fat. REMOVE the chicken pieces from the pan and set aside. Look at all that extra fat that you don’t need. DISCARD this fat from the pan but do not wash the pan. We want to keep all that yummy flavor at the bottom of it. Return the chicken pieces back to the pan. Set this aside.

5. In the bowl, with the soy sauce, that the chicken was marinating in, add ALL of the remaining ingredients, except for the green onions. Stir this together to combine well. Pour this over the chicken in the fry pan.

6. Return the fry pan to the stove top and on MEDIUM HIGH heat, bring this mixture to a boil. Now reduce heat to medium, but DO NOT COVER! Allow the thighs to cook skin side down for about 20 minutes, stirring often.

7. After the 20 minutes, turn the pieces of chicken to the other side. Taste for flavor and adjust accordingly. Reduce the heat to MEDIUM LOW and cook for about 10 minutes longer, allowing the mixture to reduce and thicken slightly. Make sure to stir often.

8. Once the desired flavor is reached, sprinkle with the green onions. Remove from heat and serve with steamed white rice and your favorite sides.
