BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH TOMATOES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add a film of olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and then add to the pan skin-side down. Cook without moving too much until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Drain half of the fat from the pan and then place it back over the heat. Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it up as you add it. Brown for 1 to 2 minutes while continuing to break it up with the back of a spoon. Stir in the onions, peppers and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and then add the tomatoes, chicken stock and oregano, scraping the bottom of the pan for brown bits.
• Nestle the chicken back in, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir in the vinegar and parsley and serve.

MOM'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

GREEK GREENS

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Place a heavy-bottomed enameled cast-iron pan over the direct heat side of the grill and add the olive oil.
• Add the onions, fennel and garlic with a pinch of salt and allow to begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until rusty, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with 1 cup water, scraping the bottom for any brown bits. Add all of the greens and season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the pan with a lid.
• Move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and cook until the greens are wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the grill and stir in the dill and lemon juice. Serve.

LEMON POTATOES

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Place the potatoes in a cast-iron pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, garlic, oregano, a pinch of salt, some black pepper and 2 cups water. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Turn the potatoes so they are cut-side down in the pan.
• Place the pan on the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.

ONE-POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned, turning as needed, about 3 minutes per side (you may need to cook in batches). Remove the chicken to a baking sheet or plate as done.
• Add the onions and a pinch of salt to the pot and saute about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, carrot and celery and saute about 2 minutes.
• Add the liquid to the pot and stir with a wooden or other heatproof spoon, scraping up the bottom of the pot for the tasty bits. Add the tomatoes and beans and bring to simmer.
• Return the chicken to the pot and bring to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Or, bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the greens if you have them.

Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and pour out a little of the excess fat. Add the onions, potatoes, and fennel.

Pour over the water and add the bay leaf and a couple more sprigs of thyme. Cover and place in the oven until the chicken is tender, about 30-45 minutes. Remove pot from oven when chicken is fully cooked. Finish dish with orange zest and juice, two sprigs of thyme and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with crusty bread.

MICHAEL SYMON'S SMASHED AND FRIED POTATOES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven, place the potatoes with enough water to cover them by a few inches. Add the thyme, rosemary, and garlic. Salt the water, then bring to a boil. Gently boil until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 30 minutes, then drain remaining water. Place the same pan back on medium high heat with the potatoes in it. Let the potatoes dry out for a minute, letting any water evaporate. Add the chicken fat to the pan and once it has melted, begin to slightly flatten the potatoes with the bottom of a smaller pot or ramekin. Make sure to keep the potatoes in an even layer. Brown for about 5 minutes, then flip. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes are golden brown. Serve with grated parmesan to garnish.
