DENISE'S PEANUT CHICKEN



Denise's Peanut Chicken image

This wonderful recipe is a family favorite of ours - and we have 3 very young children! Everyone who enjoys this recipe always asks what restaurant we ordered it from! It is fast and simple to make. I would say it's a bit like a stir fry with a Thai flavor! Serve on top of cooked brown or classic white rice. Very good with a simple side like mandarin oranges to complete this meal

CHICKEN CILANTRO



Chicken Cilantro image

Don't let the color scare you! It's bright green! This is an extremely easy and tasty family recipe. Variations can definitely be made to taste...sometimes I use chicken (boneless or not)...sometimes I use shrimp...sometimes I use both. My family makes it with chicken innards (gizzards, heart, etc.) which I'm not too keen on eating. Hey, but with this soup it's to each his or her own.

Pok Pok-Style Hot Wings with Peanuts and Cilantro image

Want crispy and delicious wings fast? Avoid the mess of frying oil and go for a quick oven-roast. Inspired by the version served by chef Andy Ricker at his Brooklyn and Portland Pok Pok restaurants, these wings get doused in a sweet and savory glaze and rolled in a spicy, crunchy topping.

Provided by JJ Goode

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated, patted dry
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 medium garlic clove, finely grated
1/4 cup fish sauce
1-2 jalapeño or serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Set a wire rack inside a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss wings, oil, and salt in a large bowl. Arrange wings in a single layer on rack and bake until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar into pan, let melt, then add another layer (no stirring necessary). Repeat until all sugar is melted and turns into a syrup. Cook the syrup undisturbed until it becomes deep amber in color and smells nutty, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in garlic and fish sauce (it might splatter); stir until smooth.
  • Place cooked wings in a large bowl and toss well with glaze to coat. Add jalapeños, peanuts, and cilantro, toss, and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting the cooking process, make sure all the ingredients are measured, cut, and prepped. This will ensure a smooth and efficient cooking experience.
  • Choose Fresh Cilantro: Use fresh cilantro for the best flavor. Fresh cilantro has a vibrant green color and a strong, aromatic fragrance. Avoid using dried cilantro, as it lacks the same flavor and aroma.
  • Toast the Peanuts: Toasting the peanuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the dish. Toasting can be done in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use Quality Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results. Make sure the chicken is fresh and properly thawed if frozen.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is cooked through without becoming dry.
  • Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a few minutes longer or add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to thicken it.
  • Serve Immediately: Cilantro Chicken with Peanuts is best served immediately after cooking. The flavors are at their peak when the dish is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Cilantro Chicken with Peanuts is a delightful dish that combines the vibrant flavors of cilantro, peanuts, and a tangy sauce. It is a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy, making it a favorite among many. With tender chicken, crunchy peanuts, and a flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds. Whether you serve it over rice, noodles, or simply on its own, Cilantro Chicken with Peanuts is a delicious and satisfying meal that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
