DEVILED CHICKEN THIGHS



Deviled Chicken Thighs image

In cooking, the term ''deviled'' has several meanings, but it most often implies a preparation with a sharp flavor, most often derived from mustard, vinegar, cayenne or other chiles. In this dish, you don't need vinegar, because there is plenty of acidity in Dijon mustard. Nor, strictly speaking, do you need cayenne (and I omit it when cooking for children); the taste is strong without it. You can make this dish with chicken breasts if you prefer; I recommend bone-in breasts, which follow the same procedure. For boneless, skinless breasts -- forget crispness, of course -- smear the meat all over with the mustard mixture, then broil it for just about six minutes, turning two or three times to prevent burning.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 chicken thighs, or a mixture of thighs and drumsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced shallots, onion or scallion
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, or to taste
Minced parsley for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to its maximum, and set the rack about 4 inches from the heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and place it in a pan, skin side up. Broil, watching carefully, until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mustard, shallots and cayenne. (If you have a small food processor, you can chop the shallots by throwing them in with the mustard and pulsing the machine on and off a few times.)
  • When the chicken has browned, remove it from oven, and turn it. Spread just a teaspoon or so of the mustard mixture on the underside of the chicken, and broil about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, and spread the remaining mixture on the upper, or skin side. Broil until mustard begins to brown.
  • At this point, the chicken may be done. (There will be only the barest trace of pink near the bone; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat will read 160 degrees.) If it is not done, turn off the broiler and leave the chicken in the oven 5 more minutes or so. Garnish and serve.

DEVILED CHICKEN LEGS



Deviled Chicken Legs image

So-called deviled foods have one element in common: heat. Not necessarily the jalapeno type of heat, but some ingredient that gives them a slight warmth. Applying this technique to chicken legs yields delightful results. Rather than stuffing the legs, though, coat them with a mixture of mustard and chicken broth, then with shallots, garlic, bread crumbs and parsley.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, times classics, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken legs with thighs attached
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons fresh or canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
4 tablespoons fresh fine bread crumbs
4 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the chicken legs with salt and pepper.
  • In a baking dish large enough to hold the legs in one layer, melt the butter, and add the olive oil. Add the chicken legs, and turn them in the butter mixture until well coated. Place the legs, skin side down, in the oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, blend the mustard and chicken broth in a small bowl with a whisk. In another small bowl blend well the shallots, garlic and bread crumbs, plus 2 tablespoons parsley. Set aside.
  • Loosen the chicken from the pan with a fork or spatula. Then with a pastry brush, brush the chicken on both sides with the mustard mixture. Arrange the legs skin side up, return them to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the shallot mixture. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees, and bake for 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley.Serve immediately.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 hors d'oeuvres servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 chicken drumettes, skin on
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
3 slices sandwich sourdough bread, crusts trimmed, torn into pieces
1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 scallions, green and white part, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup honey mustard
Hot sauce, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F or a convection oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stand a drumette on its wide end and, holding the narrow bone at the top, use a paring knife to push and scrape the skin and meat downward to expose the bone and make a plump "lollipop" of chicken at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining drumettes. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse bread crumbs, (about 12 times). Add the garlic, parsley, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, to taste, and continue to pulse until finely chopped but not a paste. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and toss with melted butter.
  • Brush each drumette with some honey mustard. Then press and roll each one in the bread crumbs to coat. Arrange the drumettes (standing up if you can) on a rack set over a baking sheet. Roast until chicken is cooked and the bread crumbs are golden brown and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve drumettes hot or at room temperature with hot sauce, if desired.

DEVILED DRUMSTICKS



Deviled Drumsticks image

Devilling is the process of applying a highly flavoured paste, or mixture of dry condiments, to legs of poultry, game, fish roes etc., and then grilling them or coating them with breadcrumbs and frying them. Various mixtures of condiments are used but they usually include some very hot ingredients and something piquant; mustard is often used.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, insert a toothpick into the thickest part of the chicken. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • For a crispier skin, broil the chicken for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
  • To make the chicken ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until it is warmed through.
