CHERRY CHICKEN



Cherry Chicken image

A sweet and tart cherry chicken summer dish that's built in a single pan, making for minimal cleanup! Tender, juicy chicken thighs with crispy skin are topped with a sweet-sour fresh cherry sauce.

Provided by Daniela Gerson

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken thighs (possible to use breasts too)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup minced shallots (about 2 large or 4 medium)
handful fresh rosemary springs
2 cups cherries (any kind, pitter)
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken thighs (or breasts) dry with a paper towel and season with kosher salt. Let it sit out while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • Whisk together the balsamic, honey, olive oil, shallots, salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a re-sealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and make sure all the chicken is coated. Let sit at least 30 min and up to overnight in the fridge. Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before placing in hot oven.
  • Meanwhile, pit the cherries and set aside.
  • To cook chicken: about 30 min before, take it out of the fridge so chicken can come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place chicken thighs (or breasts) skin side up in a shallow roasting dish or cast iron skillet. Nestle the rosemary springs in between the chicken pieces of top with the pitted cherries, moving them around so they fall in between the chicken pieces leaving as much as the skin exposes as possible. The pour the marinade over the chicken. The marinade should generously cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Slide the pan into the oven and rotate every 10-12 minutes.
  • Cooking times; for breasts: cook 20 minutes; for thighs: cook 45minutes. If using both remove the breasts while the dark meat continues cooking.
  • When the dark meat is tender at the bone and cooked through, return breasts to the pan and increase oven to 450 F. Let the sauce reduce and the chicken skin get dark and crispy, about 12 minutes. Move the cherries around again in needed to expose more chicken skin. Brush the chicken with the marinade from the pan every 3-4 minutes to glaze them.
  • Serve warm, with crunchy sea salt and freshly grinded black pepper.

ROASTED RED CURRY CHICKEN WITH APPLE JUS



Roasted Red Curry Chicken with Apple Jus image

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Garlic     Herb     Poultry     Roast     Valentine's Day     Apple     Curry     Summer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For chickens
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 3 1/2-pound whole chickens
1 Granny Smith apple, quartered
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
8 fresh cilantro sprigs
8 fresh mint sprigs
For jus
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
5 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons chopped shallots
4 fresh thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon (packed) brown sugar
4 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt broth
2 cups apple juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Make chicken:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Mix oil and curry paste in small bowl. Rinse chickens; pat dry. Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Place apple, garlic, cilantro and mint in cavities of chickens, dividing equally. Rub curry mixture over chickens. Tie legs together.
  • Place chickens in large roasting pan. Roast until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, basting occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer chickens to platter. Tent with foil.
  • Prepare jus:
  • Shake mustard seeds in medium skillet over low heat until color darkens and seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer mustard seeds to medium bowl.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots, thyme and brown sugar to skillet and sauté until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add chicken stock, apple juice, wine and cinnamon sticks. Boil until mixture is reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Strain into medium saucepan. Bring jus to simmer. Add apple cider vinegar, toasted mustard seeds and remaining 4 tablespoons butter and whisk just until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper. Serve jus with chickens.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe apples: This will ensure that your curry has a bright, vibrant flavor. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples work well in this recipe.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: If you like your curry mild, use less curry powder. If you like it spicy, add more. You can also add a chopped serrano pepper or jalapeño for an extra kick.
  • Use a variety of dried cherries: Tart cherries, sweet cherries, and even smoked cherries will all work well in this recipe. The different flavors will add complexity and depth to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Curried chicken with apples and dried cherries is delicious served with rice, naan bread, or even mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken with apples and dried cherries is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make, and the leftovers can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner the next day. This dish is also a great way to use up any leftover chicken or apples that you may have on hand.
