ROASTED CHICKEN WITH POMEGRANATE SALSA

Used throughout the Middle East, pomegranate molasses is made by reducing fresh pomegranate juice until a thick syrup. The sweet-tart molasses gives depth and complexity to simple roasted chicken legs, which become beautifully glazed as they cook in the oven. And the pomegranate-orange salad adds welcomed pops of freshness and color to the dish.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 orange
4 small chicken leg quarters (about 2 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut off a thin slice from the top and bottom of the orange and place cut-side down on a cutting board. Cut off the rind and any white pith. Working over a small bowl, cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them fall into the bowl; squeeze the juice from the membranes into the bowl.
  • Put the chicken in a large bowl and season all over with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the pomegranate molasses, garlic, coriander and red pepper flakes; toss well. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil. Place the chicken skin-side up in the dish; scrape the remaining marinade out of the bowl and drizzle around the chicken. Let sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.
  • Roast the chicken until the skin is tight and browning in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Baste the chicken with the pan drippings (add a little water if the pan seems dry) and roast 10 more minutes. Baste again and continue roasting until the chicken is very tender and the skin is browned and glazed, 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • Chop the orange segments and return to the bowl. Add the pomegranate seeds, parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper and toss. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Spoon off the fat from the drippings, then drizzle the chicken with the remaining drippings. Top with the pomegranate salsa.

BOBBY FLAY'S PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MINT SAUCE



Bobby Flay's Pan-Roasted Chicken With Mint Sauce image

Bobby Flay served a version of this chicken at Bolo, the elegant little jewel box of a restaurant he had on 22nd Street until 2007, when the building that housed it was sold. It came pan-roasted beneath a blanket of what Flay called Spanish spices, with a vibrant green mint sauce rich with chiles, honey, salt and mustard. The dish was one of the restaurant's best sellers. I ate it about 3,000 times there before getting the recipe and adapting it for those of us who cook at home. Of course you can make the exact same dish with chicken thighs if you want. But some will prefer the breast meat. Some always have.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh mint leaves
½ cup fresh parsley leaves
4 cloves garlic, peeled and roughlychopped
1 serrano chile, seeds removed androughly chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly groundblack pepper.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425. Rinse the chicken well, then dry it with paper towel. Season the chicken aggressively with salt. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl, and rub the mixture all over the skin of the chicken breasts.
  • Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat. When it is shimmering, put the breasts into the pan skin side down, and cook, unattended, until the skin is golden brown, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts over, and place the pan in the oven. Roast until the chicken is golden brown all over and the meat cooked entirely through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter, and allow to rest.
  • Meanwhile, put the mint, parsley, garlic and serrano into a food processor, and pulse into a paste. Add the honey and mustard, and pulse again, until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture has become emulsified. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and if necessary, whisk in a few tablespoons of water to thin the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon some of the sauce over each chicken breast, and serve, with the remaining sauce on the side. Roasted potatoes with some thinly sliced lemons makes a fine accompaniment, along with sautéed greens.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will not cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a large baking dish.
  • Make sure to pat the chicken dry before roasting. This will help the skin to crisp up.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

This roast chicken with pomegranate glaze and fresh mint is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pomegranate glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the chicken, while the fresh mint adds a refreshing touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
