Oak Town Garlic Vinegar Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
• Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.

Steps:

• In large saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and lightly brown chicken thighs.
• Add onions, chilies and saute for 3 minutes until translucent.
• Add 1/4 cup garlic and saute.
• Deglaze with beer and chicken stock.
• Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until chicken is 3/4 of the way cooked.
• Remove chicken from saute pan, and let cool, reserve pan and braising broth.
• In medium saute pan heat another 2 tablespoons olive oil and lightly caramelize remaining 1/2 cup garlic.
• When done, remove from heat, and let cool.
• In medium mixing bowl, combine, flour, salt and pepper, oregano, paprika, and chili powder.
• Combine thoroughly, add cooked garlic and mix into a paste.
• Take cooled, cooked chicken and press paste on to the chicken.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in garlic pan, and gently place chicken in the pan.
• Lightly brown chicken on both sides.
• Simmer reserved braising broth and add red wine vinegar.
• When chicken is cooked on both sides, pour vinegar broth over chicken and let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Garnish with green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the chicken brine: Combine 1 cup water, the honey, salt, bay leaves, garlic and thyme in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once at a boil, turn off the heat and add the ice cubes. Place the chicken and brine into a large resealable gallon plastic bag. Refrigerate, brining the chicken, for 1 hour.
• For the honey glaze: In a small saucepot over medium-low heat, whisk the honey, vinegar and orange juice until just simmering. Remove from the heat and set aside at room temperature until ready to use.
• For the chicken: Once brined, remove the chicken quarters from the bag and pat dry. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper and place skin-side down into a cast-iron pan. Place into the oven. Roast until the internal temperature reads 155 degrees F, about 50 minutes, flipping halfway through the baking time. Remove from the oven, brush the chicken with the honey glaze, and then return to the oven. Finish roasting the chicken until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and allow to rest about 10 minutes. Reserve the pan drippings.
• For the gravy: To the same cast-iron pan, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots, and toss to combine. Allow to soften, being careful not to burn. Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and whisk to incorporate with the fat. Continue cooking out the starch for about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce for about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and reduce by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and drizzle in some truffle oil. Swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken pieces on a serving dish, finishing with the truffle gravy.

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the sesame oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock, soy sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, mirin, orange zest and pepper flakes. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce is thickened. Keep warm.
• For the chicken: With a mallet or a heavy pan, pound the chicken to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Add the chicken to a large resealable bag along with the soy sauce and ginger-garlic paste. Seal the bag and leave the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl. In a large plate mix together the flour, granulated garlic and ground ginger. In another plate, mix together the panko and sesame seeds. Sprinkle all three dishes with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and lastly in the panko.
• Slick a large skillet with peanut oil and set over medium-high heat. In batches, fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. As you go, keep cooked chicken warm in the oven on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• Slice the chicken into thick strips and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle chicken with the sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
• Pulse the garlic and ginger in a food processor. With the processor running, stream in the canola oil and process to a paste. (You'll need 4 tablespoons of the paste for the present recipe. Refrigerate remaining paste for up to a week.)

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Remove chicken from marinade, and add chicken to the grill.
• In a small mixing bowl add flour, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the granulated garlic.
• Heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F.
• Remove bell peppers from marinade and dredge in flour and fry until crispy. When done drain on paper towels.
• Cook chicken thoroughly on both sides, remove from heat and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes Remove chicken from the bone and thinly slice or shred.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
• In a large skillet, heat 3 Tbsp olive oil. Cook chicken breasts 2 at a time over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Add more oil for each batch as necessary.
• Remove chicken breasts from skillet and place on a baking sheet, Cover with aluminum foil and transfer to preheated oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• In a medium sauce pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and red bell pepper and cook for approximately 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tbsp flour, wine, whipping cream and evaporated milk. While stirring continuously, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and add spinach and basil. Sauce is done when spinach and basil are wilted. Complete by slowly stirring in parmesan cheese.
• Coat cooked, drained pasta with 3/4 of the sauce. Serve pasta topped with chicken and remaining sauce. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; when it is hot, place chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place skillet in the oven. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until almost done (juices will run clear, and there will be just a trace of pink near the bone). Remove chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place it in the oven; turn off the heat, and leave the door slightly ajar.
• Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking juices out of the skillet (discard them). Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add shallots; sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and raise the heat to high. Cook a minute or two, or until the powerful acrid smell has subsided somewhat. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is slightly reduced and somewhat thickened. Stir in butter, if desired.
• Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with turmeric and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Make sure chicken is skin-side up, then pour vinegar over and around chicken and place in the oven.
• Bake chicken, without flipping, until cooked through and deeply browned all over, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine olives, garlic, parsley, the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Once chicken is cooked, remove baking sheet from the oven and transfer chicken to a large serving platter, leaving behind any of the juices and bits stuck to the pan.
• Make sure the baking sheet is on a sturdy surface (the stovetop, a counter), then pour the olive mixture onto the sheet. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently scrape up all the bits the chicken left behind, letting the olive mixture mingle with the rendered fat and get increasingly saucy. Pour olive mixture over the chicken, then serve.
