Time 5h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 lemon, zested
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for pans
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 to 4-pound) chicken, skin-on, backbone removed and halved
Special equipment: 2 large cast iron skillets

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Garlic-Herb Paste: Combine the rosemary, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, cayenne, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, in a small bowl. Stir to incorporate.
Rub chicken with Garlic-Herb Paste. Let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Coat a large cast iron skillet lightly with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Oil the bottom of a second cast iron skillet, of equal or smaller size.
Put the chicken, skin side down, in first pan, and top it with the second pan, oiled-side down on top of the chicken. If you don't have a second cast iron skillet, use a regular pan and weigh it down with 2 heavy cans. Sear chicken until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove top skillet, flip the chicken and transfer to the oven. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 large onion
3 cups louisiana hot sauce
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 tablespoons red pepper flakes
salt and pepper

Steps:

Note: Regular chicken can be substituted for more flavor impact!
Preheat large saucepan on top of stove.
Chop onions into one inch bite size pieces.
Add 2 tablespoons margarine or cooking oil.
Add the pepper flakes to release the heat into the margarine or oil.
After about two minutes, making sure the pepper flakes do not burn, add onions and saute until the onions are either translucent or lightly browned.
Add chicken breasts and cook with lid on saucepan for 20 minutes.
Note: Remember to keep on medium heat and check periodically to make sure the hot sauce doesn't evaporate or burn.
If you need to add more hot sauce that is fine. Or if you would rather substitute water instead of more hot sauce that is fine also.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
Use a Large Skillet or Wok: This will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and vegetables without overcrowding the pan. Make sure it is a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to distribute heat evenly while keeping the vegetables crispy and the chicken succulent.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cooking the chicken and vegetables in batches is essential if you want to avoid steaming them instead of stir-frying. Overcrowding will result in soggy food.
Use High Heat: Stir-frying is all about high heat. This will help you get that nice sear on the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from becoming limp.
Stir Constantly: This will help you ensure the chicken and vegetables cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Add the Sauce Last: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help prevent it from burning and will also help to keep the chicken and vegetables crispy.
Serve Immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are hot, crispy, and delicious.

Conclusion:

The Half-N-Hour Hellfire Chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Packed with flavor and heat, the chicken, vegetables, and sauce come together in a delightful symphony of tastes and textures. And with minimal prep time and cooking time, this dish is sure to become a new family favorite. Try it out and let your taste buds dance with joy!
