CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Cast Iron Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken with Roasted Root Vegetables image

I combined 3 recipes to create tender juicy chicken with an awesome honey-sriracha glaze. If you've always wanted to cook more stuff with turnips, give this a try. Aside from the delicious sauce, the most important part of this dish is using the high heat of cast iron to brown the chicken and vegetables before finishing in the oven.

Time 1h23m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 large chicken thighs with skin
2 tablespoons ground black pepper, divided
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt, divided
4 tablespoons peanut oil
5 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
4 potatoes, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 turnip, chopped
1 head garlic, peeled
¾ cup red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken that is plump and has moist, unblemished skin. For tender and flavorful meat, choose a free-range or organic chicken.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Select root vegetables that are firm and free of blemishes. Scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. For uniform roasting, cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces.
  • Enhance Flavor with Seasoning: Use a combination of herbs and spices to elevate the taste of the chicken and vegetables. Common choices include thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and paprika. Adjust the quantity according to your preference.
  • Roast at the Right Temperature: Aim for a temperature between 375°F (190°C) and 400°F (200°C) to achieve evenly roasted chicken and vegetables. Ensure the oven is preheated before placing the roasting pan inside.
  • Monitor and Baste Regularly: Keep an eye on the chicken and vegetables during roasting. Baste them every 20-30 minutes with the pan juices or melted butter to prevent dryness and promote a golden-brown, crispy exterior.

Conclusion:

Honey-roasted chicken with root vegetables is a delectable dish that combines succulent chicken, tender vegetables, and a flavorful honey glaze.
