CARDAMOM CHICKEN WITH SALT AND PEPPER CRUST



Cardamom Chicken with Salt and Pepper Crust image

Don't be turned off by the idea of 'just' salt and pepper. The marinade is intense with flavor, but it's the final seasoning of simple salt and pepper that really makes it delicious. Gotta use Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper here, please don't bother with the regular stuff. Such a difference.

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken thighs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 cloves garlic, crushed
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

CARDAMOM HONEY ROASTED CHICKEN



Cardamom Honey Roasted Chicken image

The original recipe is courtesy of BeesOnline located just outside of Auckland. The original was good but this is a little more amplified in flavor. The results are an amazing combination of sweet and spiciness that permeates the kitchen during roasting and your palette as you enjoy your meal. Preparation includes 30 minutes to marinate the chicken, actual working time is really quite short and easy.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 chicken breasts or 1 roasting chicken, cut into parts
1 1/2-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, thinly sliced
salt and pepper
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sherry wine
1 1/2 teaspoons cardamom seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons peppercorns

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 390°F Warm the honey so that it is liquid, stir in the sherry, cardamom and peppercorns. (If you are grinding the spices with a mortar and pestle, be sure to remove the seeds from their pods prior to grinding.) Place marinade and chicken in a large resealable bag, coat chicken with marinade. Close bag and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes (no longer than that).
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan at medium high heat. Sear the chicken, skin side down, until golden. (If you plan to discard the skin, as I do, you can omit this step. Just add an additional 5-6 minutes to the baking time.).
  • Place lemon slices in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken pieces on top. Lightly brush with the marinade. Season with salt and pepper. Discard the remaining marinade. (Warning: Do not be tempted to pour the marinade in the baking pan, it will be a mess.).
  • Place in the oven and bake until done, approximately 25 minutes for breasts.
  • (According to the original recipe it is 20 minutes for thighs, wings, and drumsticks, but I found the time for breasts to short so please check for doneness.) Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Pour out drippings from the pan into a gravy boat for gravy.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh cardamom pods. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom. - Be sure to toast the cardamom pods in a dry skillet before using them. This will help to release their flavor. - If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute another type of sweetener, such as maple syrup or agave nectar. - If you want a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a longer period of time. - Serve the chicken thighs with rice, quinoa, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This cardamom honey chicken thighs recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is sweet and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
