Pretty please can we start a thread with your best chicken recipe? (you know, the one where everyone asks for the recipe) I need ideas for Rosh Hashana! Smile

Thanks!

Here, I'll start:
AMAZING SESAME CHICKEN

Ingredients:
3 whole boneless chicken breasts

Marinade
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cooking wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
3 drops sesame oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Sauce
1/2 cup water
1 cup chicken broth
1/8-1/4 cup white vinegar (depending on how sweet you want the sauce) or 1/8-1/4 cup rice wine vinegar (depending on how sweet you want the sauce)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup sugar (we use 1/2 cup sugar but the orginal recipe called for 1 cup)
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili paste (or more)
1 garlic clove (minced)

Directions:

-Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
-Mix the marinade ingredients (the first 9 ingredients listed) and marinate the chicken for 20 minutes.
-To prepare the sauce: Mix together all of the sauce ingredients. Pour them into a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Turn the heat down to low and keep warm while you are deep-frying the chicken.
-To deep-fry the chicken: Add the marinated chicken pieces a few at a time, and deep-fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and then place chicken in warm oven (130 degrees) while you continue frying. Repeat with the remainder of the chicken. Just before you are finished deep-frying, bring the sauce back up to a boil.
-Place the chicken on a large platter and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve the Sesame Chicken with rice.

Jamie Geller's Honey Chicken:

Thanks ra-mom for sharing and typing it out on a different thread:

1 chicken, cut into 8 pieces
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper

Mix together all sauce ingredients.
Pour over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 1 hour, or until slightly browned.

[I leave out the olive oil, and reduce the black pepper amount.
I use 4 chicken bottoms, and sometimes separate the thighs from the drumstick, as suggested.]

It's delishes!

Can it be quick, easy recipes that come out delicious or only gourmet recipes?

Apricot-Garlic Chicken

2 chickens, in eighths (best with skin on)
¼ cup apricot jam
¼ cup fat-free french or thousand island dressing
4 cloves garlic, crushed

Combine jam, dressing and garlic. Spread of chicken pieces. Bake uncovered at 350 for at least 1½ hours, or more until it reaches desired degree of doneness (we like it with the skin browned and crisp).

This is a kid-friendly recipe that goes over very well in my house, even with guests. It's not fancy and won't win the dieting prize, but we like it.

Ketchup-Mayonnaise Chicken

Like it says: mix mayonnaise & ketchup, with a sprinkle of garlic powder.
Dip skinned chicken legs in mixture til they're coated, then roll in a plate of cornflake crumbs to coat.
Bake in a covered pan at 350 for 2 hours.

you want more easy and delicious?

-slice onions, and place in pan with cleaned and washed chicken quaters in the oven. bake covered at the temperature and time you usually do( eg. 180 degrees for 1and 1/2 hours. uncover for last quater hour (or bake uncovered if you like it crispy but for less time).

-fry onions, add the quaters, fry on both sides, lower flame and cook for the lenght of time you would for chicken

-slice onions ,place in pot, add the chicken. lowest flame for one and half hours covered. water from onions(chicken?) should come out

with all of them, add water as nessesary if you want sauce

-spice cut peices of chicken breast with grill spice and fry on low heat both sides. oil should be hot before frying but not overhot. check the middle of thickest part to see when its ready

This is an AWESOME Chinese chicken recipe that is SO EASY, no frying, all in one pot! You've got to try it, anyone who eats it loves it, it tastes straight out of a restaurant.

2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces
coated in flour and then egg

1 onion cubed
1 pepper cubed
1 can / some fresh mushrooms
(these are the veggies I use but u can really use anything you have in the house)

Place the veggies in a pan, sprinkle salt and pepper and drizzle some oil over them. Bake for a half an hour covered at 350. (the reason why I bake the veggies first is b/c I don't like them crunchy, if you don't mind them a bit underdone you can bake everything at once for just 40 mins.)

Take veggies out of the oven and put chicken on top, then pour this mixture on top of everything:
1/2 c oil
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c brown sugar

Bake covered for another 40 mins and serve over rice.
Enjoy!!

mix equal parts of Brown Sugar, Ketchup, and Teriyaki, pour over chicken, cut into peices. Top with sesame seeds, if desired. Bake uncovered for 1 1/2.

Do you place the raw, coated chicken right top of the veggies? Or do you bake the chicken first?

I don't know, I've never used Italian. You commonly see it with onion soup mix instead of garlic, but we prefer the garlic and prefer to avoid all the sodium in the soup mix.

Kokoshpro, do you dip chicken in flour and then egg? or was it a typo? I've done egg, then flour but never the reverse.

dark meat chicken cutlets
your favorite creamy type salad dressing
french's onions - the dried type that come in a can

put broccoli on bottom of pan (if you'd like-it's the only way my kids'll eat it)
wash and coat chicken in dressing then the onions

Bake uncovered at 375 for just under an hour depending on your oven

The quickest one I have is CHICKEN IN FORTY CLOVES OF GARLIC
There is no need to peel the garlic

Place cloves from 3 heads of garlic in roasting pan
Place chicken pieces on them
Sprinkle with black pepper and paprika
Sprinkle with 3 T vinegar
I drizzle a bit of olive oil on top

Top with slices onions and bake for about an hour in a moderate oven.

Very fast and easy, very good.

I like to take the cloves after roasting, you press on them and they pop out of their skins, mash and mix with pan juices for great gravy.
