Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon chile de arbol
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
12 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin on
3/4 cup sorghum
1/4 cup tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground fennel
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground chile de arbol
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • For the chicken thighs: Bring 4 cups water, salt and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cook until the salt and sugar dissolve, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool completely. Put the chicken in a bowl and add the cooled brine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the brine, rinse well and pat dry.
  • Meanwhile, for the sorghum-chile glaze: Combine 1 tablespoon water, the sorghum, chile de arbol and sprinkle with salt and pepper over low heat in a small saucepan. Cook the glaze until syrupy. Set aside 1/3 cup glaze.
  • For the curry rub: Combine the ancho chile, coriander, cumin, fennel, salt, turmeric, cardamom, cloves, pepper and chile de arbol in a small bowl. Rub each chicken thigh with some of the spice rub and brush with the oil.
  • Prepare the kettle grill or smoker for indirect grilling, with medium-high heat over the coals. Put the chicken skin-side down over the direct heat and cook until just crsipy, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter.
  • Scatter the apple wood chips over the coals. Return the chicken to the grill over the indirect heat. Cover the grill. Cook the chicken between 250 and 275 degrees F, until a thermometer inserted in the chicken registers 160 degrees F, 45 to 50 minutes. At about 30 minutes, brush the chicken with some of the sorghum-chile glaze. Just before removing the chicken from the grill, brush with more of the sorghum-chile glaze again.
  • Transfer the chicken to a platter and drizzle some of the reserved sorghum-chile glaze on top.

SMOKED CHILE GLAZE



Smoked Chile Glaze image

On the weekends, barbecue sauce shows up at nearly every meal. I've made countless versions over the years, but this is still one of my favorites. I draw flavors from around the globe to get just the right balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy. You can brush this on any meat while it's grilling to build a sticky glaze. When mixed with homemade mayonnaise, it becomes an amazing spread.

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup passion fruit puree (see Pantry, page 253)
1 dried ancho chile, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 dried chipotle chile, stemmed and roughly chopped
3/4 cup ketchup, preferably organic Heinz
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons unsulphured blackstrap molasses
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 1/2 tablespoons kecap manis (see Pantry, page 253)
2 teaspoons nam pla
3/4 teaspoon liquid mesquite smoke (see Pantry, page 253)
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring the passion fruit puree to a boil over high heat in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the puree is syrupy and reduced by half.
  • Transfer to a blender and add the chiles, ketchup, vinegar, molasses, garlic and onion powders, kecap manis, nam pla, liquid smoke, sesame oil, and salt. Blend, scraping down the sides of the blender occasionally, until smooth. The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Chiles: Choose dried chiles that are deep red in color and have a smoky aroma. Avoid chiles that are brown or have blemishes.
  • Adjusting Heat Level: The type of chile used determines the heat level of the glaze. For a milder glaze, use ancho or guajillo chiles. For a spicier glaze, use chipotle or cayenne peppers.
  • Using Different Liquids: The glaze can be made with various liquids, such as water, chicken stock, or orange juice. The liquid used will impact the overall flavor of the glaze.
  • Adding Sweetness: To add a touch of sweetness to the glaze, consider using brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup. These sweeteners will balance the smoky and spicy flavors of the chiles.
  • Thickening the Glaze: If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer it for a longer period of time. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to help thicken the glaze.
  • Adding Additional Spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to enhance the flavor of the glaze. Common additions include cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Using a chile glaze is a fantastic way to add a smoky and flavorful touch to various dishes. These glazes are versatile and can be used on meats, vegetables, and even tofu.
