Steps:
- Rub the chicken evenly with the salt, then set aside. In the work bowl of a food processor, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, and shallots. Pulse for 10 to 20 seconds, until the shallots are finely minced. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the orange juice mixture over it. Crumble the bay leaf over the chicken, then cover with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for a least 6 hours, or overnight. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan (reserving the marinade) and roast for a total of 1 hour 45 minutes. After putting the chicken in the oven, prepare the papaya glaze. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the mustard, garlic, papaya, half, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Pulse 10 to 20 seconds, until well blended and any garlic lumps are gone. Divide the mixture in half, using one half for basting the chicken and the other half for the sauce. Baste the chicken with papaya glaze at least once every half hour while roasting. When the chicken is cooked, place it on a large, warmed serving platter and set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the pan drippings and discard. Place the remaining 2 tablespoons drippings (scrapping the bottom of the roasting pan to loosen the bits) in a small saucepan and whisk in the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining half of the glaze to the saucepan and cook 4 to 5 minutes. Pour some sauce over the chicken and place the reserved papaya slices on top. Place remaining sauce in serving dish, garnish the platter with parsley and watercress, if desired, and serve immediately. NOTE: As a precaution, you might want to start with a fresh juice mixture for the glaze and baste, as it was used for marinating raw poultry. The other alternative is to boil the marinade for a couple of minutes and then proceed with the instructions for preparing the glaze.
CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA BBQ SAUCE
Steps:
- For the marinade: In a bowl, combine the papaya seeds, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut cream, cilantro, and ginger, and mix thoroughly. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
- For the chicken: Heat and a grill over medium-high heat and lightly grease the grate with oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and lay the breasts on the hot grill. Discard the marinade. Baste each chicken breast with 2 tablespoons Papaya BBQ Sauce, and continue grilling, turning once and basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the meat is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish the chicken with the chopped Spiced Cashew Nuts and cilantro leaves, if using.
- Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, and add in the onion. Cook, until the onions are translucent, stirring continuously to ensure the pieces do not brown. Sprinkle the sugar, scotch bonnet, lime zest, and lemon zest over the onions, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour in the lime juice, lemon juice, water and vinegar. Bring the ingredients to a boil. Add in the diced papaya, and adjust the seasonings with the salt, if desired. Bring the mixture to a boil again, reduce the heat, and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, and puree the sauce until smooth. Transfer the BBQ sauce to a bowl, and set aside.
- In a small frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Drop the cashews into the pan, and toast until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat, then sprinkle over the paprika, and salt, and gently toss to coat.
PAPAYA CHICKEN
Steps:
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic and ginger and saute until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin seeds, coriander, fenugreek seeds, and paprika and toast for 10 seconds and then add the chicken pieces and cook until it is nearly done, about 8 minutes. Add the yogurt and finish cooking the chicken, about 2 more minutes and then stir in the papaya chunks. Serve the chicken with rice or rotis.
