ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEACHES, BASIL AND GINGER



Roasted Chicken Thighs With Peaches, Basil and Ginger image

A ripe, succulent peach is one of nature's greatest gifts. But a hard peach? It, too, is a gift, especially in this simple recipe from Melissa Clark. A roast in a 400-degree oven cooks the peaches alongside boneless, skinless chicken thighs, drawing out their flavor and softening them as they meld with those flavorful drippings. Speaking of those pan juices, don't cast them aside: Sop them up instead with crusty bread. You won't regret it.

Time 20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound hard peaches (about 1 large or 2 to 3 small ones, see note)
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons dry (fino) sherry, or use white wine or dry vermouth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger root, grated
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Crusty bread or rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Halve peaches, remove pits and slice fruit 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a 9-by-13-inch pan, toss all ingredients except 1 tablespoon basil. Roast until meat is cooked through and peaches are softened, about 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Sauce will be thin, so serve with crusty bread for sopping or over rice.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

GINGER CHICKEN



Ginger chicken image

This zingy curry is must-make recipe and only takes 50 minutes, fresher than your local take away and much healthier too

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1kg pack boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 thumb-size piece of fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp mild chilli powder
15g pack fresh coriander, chopped
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 medium onions
1 tsp ground turmeric
400ml can reduced-fat coconut milk
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and sliced
1 chicken stock cube

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
  • Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
  • Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help to create a delicious crust on the chicken thighs and prevent them from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken thighs will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the chicken thighs halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken thighs: They are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help to keep them juicy.

Conclusion:

This recipe for gingered chicken thighs is a delicious and easy way to prepare chicken. The chicken thighs are cooked in a flavorful ginger-soy sauce and served over rice. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual dinner party. Here are some additional tips for making this recipe:

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large nonstick skillet.
  • You can adjust the amount of ginger in the sauce depending on your personal preference.
  • This recipe can also be made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.
