STICKY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS IN BUTTER LETTUCE

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pinch red pepper flakes
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Canola oil, for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, optional
Butter lettuce leaves, for wrapping

Steps:

  • Put the orange juice, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 15 minutes. Keep about 1/2 cup warm for serving and set aside the rest for glazing.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the chicken with oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill smooth-side down, covered, until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brush generously with the glaze. Cook, covered, until charred and the thighs are just cooked through, another 3 to 4 minutes. Flip again, glaze, and cook uncovered about 1 minute. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, sprinkle with the chives if using, and rest the chicken for a few minutes.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips. Serve with butter lettuce leaves for wraps and the reserved glaze on the side.

Skip the deep-fryer and forget soggy oven chicken wings. The air fryer offers the best of both worlds for crispy wings without extra fat!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for the basket
2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint and tips removed
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the chicken wings dry and sprinkle generously with salt. Place the wings in the fryer basket so they are not touching (if necessary to fit, line up the drumettes standing upright along the sides). Set the air fryer to 360 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes, then flip the wings with tongs and cook for 12 minutes more. Flip the wings again, increase the heat to 390 degrees F and cook until the outsides are extra-crispy, about 6 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, warm the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the hot sauce.
  • Toss the wings with the butter mixture to coat in a large bowl and serve with dressing on the side.

CRISPY AND STICKY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SQUASHED NEW POTATOES AND TOMATOES



Crispy and Sticky Chicken Thighs with Squashed New Potatoes and Tomatoes image

This is a simple pan-baked chicken dish - the sort of food I absolutely love to eat. As everything cooks together in 1 dish, all the beautiful flavors get mixed up. This is what it's all about! With a green salad, it's an easy dinner.

Provided by Jamie Oliver

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 3/4 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed
12 boned chicken thighs, skin on, preferably free-range or organic
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds cherry tomatoes, different shapes and colors if you can find them
1 bunch fresh oregano, leaves picked
Extra-virgin olive oil
Red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes into a large saucepan of salted boiling water and boil until cooked.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each chicken thigh into 3 strips and place in a bowl. Rub the meat all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss.
  • Heat a large frying pan, big enough to hold all the chicken pieces snugly in 1 layer, and put the chicken into the pan, skin side down. If you don't have a pan that's big enough, feel free to cook the chicken in 2 batches. Toss and fry over a high heat for 10 minutes or so, until almost cooked, then remove with a slotted spoon to an ovenproof pan or dish.
  • Prick the tomatoes with a sharp knife. Place them in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for a minute or so. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, pinch off their skins. You don't have to, but by doing this they will become lovely and sweet when cooked, and their intense flavor will infuse the potatoes. By now the potatoes will be cooked. Drain them in a colander and lightly crush them by pushing down on them with your thumb.
  • Bash up most of the oregano leaves with a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, or a Flavor Shaker if you have one. Add 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, a good splash of red wine vinegar and some pepper and give everything another bash. Add to the chicken with the potatoes, the tomatoes and the rest of the oregano leaves. Toss everything together carefully. Spread out in a single layer in an appropriately sized roasting pan, and bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven until golden.
  • Lovely served with an arugula salad dressed with some lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil, and a nice glass of white wine.

  • Use a combination of soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil for the marinade: This classic Asian marinade is perfect for sticky chicken thighs. You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as ginger, garlic, or rice vinegar.
  • Cook the chicken thighs in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly and get crispy skin.
  • Bake the chicken thighs until they are sticky and glazed: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with rice or noodles: This dish is also great served with vegetables, such as broccoli or snow peas.
