Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons oyster sauce
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (4 to 6 pieces)
8 ounces thin Chinese stir-fry noodles or ramen noodles
2 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal (about 1 cup)
4 ounces snow peas, halved
2 bunches scallions, roughly chopped
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
  • Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the carrots and snow peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain the noodles and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the saucepan and reserve. Snip the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears.
  • Finely chop the scallions and ginger in a food processor. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Add to the noodle mixture, season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce.
  • Slice the chicken and serve over the noodles.

Provided by Monique Volz of AmbitiousKitchen.com

Categories     Dairy Free     Dinner     Gluten Free     Grain Free

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup Fusia Asian Inspirations Soy Sauce
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons Carlini Toasted Sesame Oil or Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Simply Nature Organic Wildflower Honey
2 tablespoons packed Simply Nature Organic Light Brown Sugar (or sub coconut sugar)
1 small or medium lime, juiced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 teaspoon Stonemill Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 ½ pounds chicken drumsticks, skin removed (or chicken breasts and/or thighs will also work)
To garnish:
Chopped Southern Grove Honey Roasted Peanuts
Diced green onion
Diced cilantro

Steps:

  • Make the chicken marinade. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, oil, honey, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade and place in a small bowl in the fridge. You'll use this for glazing the chicken on the grill later.
  • Marinate the chicken: Pat the drumsticks dry, remove the skin, season them with a pinch of salt, and add them to the large bowl or a shallow dish with the Thai chicken marinade. Mix to coat the chicken evenly, then marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
  • About a half hour before you're ready to cook the chicken, remove the chicken from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat a grill to 400 degrees F.
  • Grill the chicken: brush the hot grill grate with oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 minutes, then flip. Generously brush each drumstick with the reserved marinade a few times, and grill for an additional 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over one last time, brush again with the remaining marinade, and cook for 5 more minutes or until no pink remains in the center of the chicken.
  • To serve: Place the chicken on a platter or large plate, then garnish with honey roasted peanuts, diced green onion and cilantro. Serves 4, 2 drumsticks each.

SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS



Spicy Roasted Chicken Thighs image

Here, the bright and zesty flavors of lemon, tomato, ginger, jalapeño and garlic contrast beautifully with the rich, tender dark meat of the chicken. If you like your chicken skin extra crispy, slip it under the broiler for a few minutes after roasting. And yes, you can make this with chicken breasts, but we recommend the skin-on, bone-in variety, and keep a close eye on the time; they'll take less time to cook.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 chicken thighs, with skin, pierced all over with a small knife
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, or cayenne to taste
Juice and zest of 1 whole lemon
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or ground coriander

Steps:

  • Put chicken thighs in a bowl. Mince garlic, ginger and pepper. Toss with all remaining ingredients or put in a small food processor, and grind to a paste. (It is O.K. if the coriander seeds are not fully pulverized. They will add a little crunch.)
  • Rub mixture thoroughly into chicken. At this point, you can cover, and refrigerate for up to a day.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put thighs, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.

SPICY GINGER CHICKEN



Spicy Ginger Chicken image

This simple dish will be familiar to many people-it shows up in Chinese restaurants as well. Chicken and ginger go together beautifully, and some people love this dish with beef instead. Ginger is also a healthy seasoning. If possible, try to get young ginger, which has a pink root. You can also add any veggies you like to this dish.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry before seasoning and cooking. This will help remove excess moisture and allow the skin to brown and crisp up.
  • Use a combination of spices to create a flavorful marinade. The recipe suggests ginger, paprika, cumin, and coriander, but you can also experiment with other spices like turmeric, garam masala, or chili powder.
  • Let the chicken thighs marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken and result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out and ensure that it cooks through evenly.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This ginger and spice chicken thighs recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a flavorful and healthy meal. The combination of spices and the tender, juicy chicken thighs creates a dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
