1 (5 to 6 pound) roasting chicken
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh thyme, plus 20 sprigs
1 lemon, halved
1 head garlic, cut in half crosswise

4 carrots cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bulb of fennel, tops removed, and cut into wedges
Olive oil

Steps:

Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of lemon, and all the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place the onions, carrots, and fennel in a roasting pan. Toss with salt, pepper, 20 sprigs of thyme, and olive oil. Spread around the bottom of the roasting pan and place the chicken on top.
  • Roast the chicken for 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and vegetables to a platter and cover with aluminum foil for about 20 minutes. Slice the chicken onto a platter and serve it with the vegetables.

Juicy Roasted Chicken image

My grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken. We are German and she used to do it this way all the time. I never have had a chicken this juicy before; this little trick works and makes the people eating it go silent. It's funny. We nibble on the celery after.

CHICKEN STEAM ROAST



Chicken Steam Roast image

Traditionally served at wedding banquets in Pakistan, the chicken steam roast has found its way into Punjab's street food scene, and the recipe is replicated by home cooks all across the country. Marinated chicken legs steam slowly in their own juices in a deep pot with a little bit of fat. A tawa or thin metal griddle (a metal comal would also work) is used to temper heat from the stove so it can be applied evenly and for longer. Steam accumulating in the closed pot raises its temperature high enough to cook the chicken through. Patience and faith are key ingredients in this recipe. Resist checking on the chicken periodically and have some faith in the cooking process; you'll ultimately be rewarded. The result: tender, flavorful, falling-off-the-bone chicken legs.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground red chile
1 teaspoon ginger paste or finely grated fresh peeled ginger
1 teaspoon garlic paste or finely grated fresh garlic
6 to 8 Thai green chiles, stemmed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 bone-in chicken legs (3 to 4 pounds), skin removed, meat scored to the bone
Ghee or neutral oil, for cooking
Chopped cilantro, chile flakes, mint chutney and lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix the yogurt, spices, ginger paste, garlic paste, chopped green chiles and salt in a large bowl to make a pasty marinade. Add the chicken and thoroughly rub the marinade into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Place a tawa, griddle or comal on the stove if you have one and center a large stock pot or Dutch oven on top of it. Otherwise, place the pot directly on the stove. The stock pot or Dutch oven should be large enough to hold the chicken pieces in a single layer, and deep enough to gather steam. Add enough ghee to coat the bottom of the pot, then add the chicken in one layer, meatier side down. Cover and cook on medium for 10 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to the lowest setting and continue cooking for another 20 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking, covered, for another 30 minutes. Remove the lid. Cook on medium until the juices in the pot have mostly evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and pour any juices from the pot over the chicken. Garnish with cilantro and chile flakes and serve with chutney and lemon wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: A whole chicken weighing 3-4 pounds is ideal for this recipe. You can also use chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time may vary.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the chicken with flavor and moisture. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus juices to create a flavorful marinade.
  • Steam the chicken properly: Place the chicken in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Roast the chicken: After steaming, roast the chicken in a preheated oven at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the chicken rest: Before carving, let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Chicken steam roast is a delicious and healthy way to cook chicken. The steaming process helps to keep the chicken moist and tender, while the roasting process gives it a crispy, golden brown skin. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
