Categories     main-dish

Time 11h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sweet tea
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup tightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated on a rasp

Steps:

  • For the brine and chicken: In a medium pot on high heat, add the tea, 1/4 cup salt and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring, until the salt dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Pour the cooled brine into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs and breasts and refrigerate overnight.
  • About 2 hours before grilling, remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry. Let rest on a plate in the refrigerator for 1 1/2 hours, then at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • For the sauce. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the ketchup, beer, brown sugar, paprika, chile flakes, garlic powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the sugar is completely dissolved, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat a grill to high heat.
  • Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken pieces. Over the direct heat, put the chicken on the grill on what would be the skin side. Grill until the chicken easily releases and there are grill marks, 6 to 8 minutes. Flip and move the chicken to the indirect heat area of the grill and brush with the sauce. Cover and grill until cooked through, brushing with the sauce again once or twice, another 6 to 8 minutes.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS



Honey-Glazed Chicken and Shallots image

The combination of a sweet glaze, tangy shallots and pan-roasted chicken makes this a quick but decadent one-pan meal. Caramelizing shallots first, then tossing them with sherry vinegar gives them a pickled but syrupy bite. A little heat from a spicy chile and some freshness from parsley leaves balance this flavorful dish. Serve right off the stove, over cooked grains or alongside a crisp salad.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks (6 to 8 pieces)
Salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1 pound shallots (about 8), peeled and halved, quartered if large
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 fresh hot chile, such as Thai, Scotch bonnet or serrano, minced with or without seeds
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
  • Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken: A free-range or organic chicken will have a better flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can brine the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives this chicken its signature flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that you like the taste of. You can find many different glaze recipes online or in cookbooks.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The best way to check if the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest before serving will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sunny's 5-Star Glazed Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the glaze is tangy and sweet. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
