Chicken With Lemon And Garlic Tapas Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper; place in the melted butter. Cook chicken, flipping frequently, until browned, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder over chicken; flip and sprinkle 1 tablespoon garlic powder on second side. Cook each side for 2 minutes.
• Pour lemon juice over each side of chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Warm the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the garlic, and cook for just 1 minute but don't allow the garlic to turn brown. Off the heat, add the white wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt and pour into a 9 by 12-inch baking dish.
• Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them skin side up over the sauce. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in 8 wedges and tuck it among the pieces of chicken.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts, until the chicken is done and the skin is lightly browned. If the chicken isn't browned enough, put it under the broiler for 2 minutes. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Sandwich the chicken breast fillets between 2 sheets of clear film (plastic wrap) or baking parchment. Bat out with a rolling pin or meat mallet until the fillets are about 1/4 inch thick.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into strips about 1/2 inch wide.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan or wok until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the chicken strips, shallot, garlic, and paprika and stir-fry over a high heat for about 3 minutes, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
• Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a warm platter and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Garnish with a stem of flat leaf parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken giblets. Rinse the chicken inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers and pat the outside dry. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan. Liberally salt and pepper the inside of the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the thyme, reserving enough thyme to garnish the chicken dish, 1 lemon, halved, and 2 halves of the garlic. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Cut 2 of the lemons in quarters and scatter the quarters and remaining garlic around the chicken. Lay the bacon slices over the chicken to cover.
• Roast the chicken for 1 hour. Remove the bacon slices from the top of the chicken and set aside. Continue roasting the chicken for an additional 1/2 hour, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil while you prepare the gravy.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the bottom of the pan. Add the wine and chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half.
• Slice the chicken on a platter. Garnish the chicken platter with the bacon slices, roasted garlic, reserved thyme and 1 lemon, sliced. Serve with the gravy.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven at 200 DC. Put a pot of cold water on the stove and place the new potatoes into the pot with a sprinkle of salt. Cook the new potatoes for 10 minutes. Now put the potatoes into a small roasting tin and sprinkle over some salt and pepper. Add 50g of the butter to the potatoes. Do not cover the potatoes with a lid or foil, leave the tin open so the potatoes can get crispy. Put the potatoes a side and begin to prepare the chicken.
• Rub each chicken piece in the oil and then place the chicken and remaining oil into a large roasting tin. Add the lemon juice to the roasting tin. Now sprinkle the salt, pepper, and paprika evenly over the chicken. Add the lemon wedges and garlic into the roasting tin spread these in between the chicken pieces.
• Once you have added the garlic and lemon you can add the other 50g of butter spread the butter cubes / pieces around the tin and in between the chicken pieces. Either put a lid onto the roasting tin or cover the top with tin foil. Place both the chicken roasting tin and the potato roasting tin into the oven; cook both the chicken and the potatoes for 1 hour to 1h 30 mins depending on your oven.
• It is important to not cook the chicken and potatoes in the same roasting tin otherwise everything will taste of lemon, garlic and paprika. By cooking the potatoes in a separate roasting tin, it helps to break down the flavours. 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time for the chicken, remove the tin foil and place the chicken back into the oven.
• This dish goes very well with a glass of white wine and a bit of crispy garden salad on the side though this is optional.

Steps:

• Using a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, cut each wing at the knuckle into two pieces. Mix the garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin and oil with plenty of seasoning, then tip into a dish with the chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover and put in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hr, or overnight if you have time.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, or heat an outdoor barbecue. Bake the chicken wings on an oven tray for 45-50 mins until crisp, or barbecue for 20 mins, drizzling over the honey for the final 10 mins of each method. Serve on a platter with plenty of paper napkins. Fill small bowls with olives, pistachios or almonds, dates and pickled chillies and flatbreads to serve alongside, along with the dishes below.
