Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups soy sauce
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dark sesame oil
1 lime, juiced
4 inches fresh ginger, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin

Steps:

  • Combine the 1 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, half of the lime juice, ginger, and garlic, and 1/4 cup cilantro in the bottom of each of 2 large freezer bags. Put 2 chicken breasts in each bag and get them coated with the marinade. Then set the bags on a work surface, force the air out and seal them. Allow chicken to marinade for 1 hour. You can also freeze the chicken right in the marinade at this point. To do so fold each bag over the chicken 3 times, tape them well, and date them. Put it in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Fold a few paper towels into a thick square. Blot some oil on the paper towels and then carefully and quickly wipe the ridges of the gill pan or the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken on the hot grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes on each side until charred and firm. Serve with the sesame noodles and cucumber pickles.

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.

SOY-GINGER CHICKEN WITH GREENS



Soy-Ginger Chicken With Greens image

I serve these spicy pan-cooked pounded chicken breasts over a mound of pungent wild arugula or other salad greens. Some of the salad dressing serves as a marinade for the chicken.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Salt to taste
1 garlic clove, minced or puréed
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or sunflower oil
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 to 2 serrano or Thai green chiles, minced (to taste), or 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (most weigh 8 to 10 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or a gluten-free flour such as rice flour or corn flour
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
4 cups wild arugula or salad mix, rinsed and spun dry

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, the vinegar, salt, garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of the grapeseed or sunflower oil and the sesame oil. Pour half of this mixture into a bowl large enough to accommodate the chicken breasts and add the remaining tablespoon of lime juice and the chiles or cayenne to the bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
  • Season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you will not use all of it) and tap breasts to remove excess.
  • Turn oven on low. . Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons grapeseed or sunflower oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until bottom is browned is spots. Turn over and brown on the other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and sprinkle cilantro over the top. Keep warm in the oven.
  • Place arugula or salad mix in a bowl and toss with the remaining dressing. Distribute among plates or arrange on a platter and serve with the chicken.

SOY ROAST CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND SPRING ONION



Soy Roast Chicken With Ginger and Spring Onion image

A beautiful Chinese-flavoured roast from Ross Dobson's "Chinatown" book. This was perfect, with dark roasted skin over juicy flesh and a beautiful dressing - plus it's fun to hear the dressing sizzling when you pour the hot oil onto it! A very easy, foolproof roast - I rarely can roast chickens well in my dodgy over, but this one was perfect. Ideally put the chicken into marinade the night before roasting it.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 5/8 kg) chicken (3 lb 8oz)
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine (shao xing)
1 teaspoon caster sugar
3 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely shredded
4 spring onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal (scallions)
2 tablespoons peanut oil

  • Preheat over to 200°C (400°F). Line a roasting tin with baking paper. Put the chicken in the tin, breast side up, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for another 20 minutes. Turn the chicken once more so that it is breast side up again and cook for 30 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer.
  • Remove and allow to cool slightly then cut the chicken up Chinese style and arrange on a serving platter. (Or just cut into 10 pieces - legs, wings and breasts cut into 3).
  • Put the light soy, rice wine, sugar and stock into a small suacepan and heat gently for 2-3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then scatter with the ginger and spring onions.
  • Wipe the saucepan dry with paper towels, then put the peanut oil and remaining teaspoon of sesame oil in the pan over high heat; when it reaches smoking point, carefully pour it over the chicken, which will cause the ginger and spring onion to sizzle. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is about 3 to 4 pounds, with plump, firm flesh and no tears or bruises in the skin.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove any excess fat, including the giblets, neck, and wing tips.
  • Make the marinade: Combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine, honey, and sesame oil in a bowl and mix well. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Roast the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken on a roasting rack in a baking dish and roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
  • Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
