Gingered Chicken Thighs Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, juice and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake to coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grate. Grill the chicken skin-side down until marked, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to grill until cooked through, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the carrots and snow peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain the noodles and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the saucepan and reserve. Snip the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears.
• Finely chop the scallions and ginger in a food processor. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Add to the noodle mixture, season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce.
• Slice the chicken and serve over the noodles.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
• Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic oil, ginger powder, sesame seeds, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.
• Neatly arrange chicken thighs in the baking dish. Pour maple sauce over the chicken thighs. Use tongs or gloved hands to turn thighs over in sauce until fully coated. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Uncover baking dish and turn thighs over. Continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 200 degrees F (93 degrees C), about 15 minutes. Turn over once more and sprinkle with parsley. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, grated ginger and a pinch of salt.
• Season chicken all over with salt, and put it in a larger bowl or resealable bag. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic mixture. (Give it a stir before measuring in case any of the ginger has fallen to the bottom. Save remaining balsamic for serving.) Add the thyme, garlic, soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Cover bowl or close bag, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
• Prepare the peaches: In a bowl, combine butter, thyme and honey. Brush peaches lightly with butter mixture and place in a grilling basket, if you have one, or directly on the grill. Grill over direct heat until just charred, 2 to 4 minutes per side. You'll know they are done when the skin curls back and the flesh starts to melt. Transfer to a serving platter or plates, and, if you like, drizzle with a little more of the butter mixture and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• If there's room on the grill, cook the chicken at the same time (or wait until peaches are done). Brush off any clinging pieces of marinade from chicken, pat it dry, and coat lightly with oil. Grill or broil until charred and browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a platter or serving plates, along with the peaches. Serve with dollops of yogurt on the side if you like, and a drizzle with some of the remaining gingery balsamic and a little more olive oil. Scatter with scallions and basil, if using, for garnish.

Steps:

• Slice each chicken thigh into 2 or 3 large chunks, then put in a bowl with the ginger, garlic, chilli powder, half the coriander, lime juice and 1 tbsp of the oil. Stir well, then cover and leave in the fridge to marinate until ready to cook. For the best flavour, do this in the morning or, better still, the night before.
• Peel and quarter the onions, then very finely chop them in a food processor; for a curry you want the onion really fine. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large frying pan, then add the onion and stir-fry for about 8 mins until soft. Stir in the turmeric and cook for 1 min more, stirring well.
• Tip in the chicken mixture with the marinade and cook over a high heat until the chicken changes colour. Pour in the coconut milk, add the chilli and stock, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Stir in the remaining coriander, then serve with pilau rice, a bowl of mango chutney - we like Geeta's - and some poppadoms or naan bread.
