Spicy Sicilian Baked Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Arrange chicken pieces in the baking pan. Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano over both sides.
• Roast in the preheated oven until chicken is browned and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a 10- to 12-inch saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken pieces skin side down; brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• In same pan, combine potatoes, peppers, celery, eggplant, carrots, tomatoes, olives, capers, and chiles; cook until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add wine, return chicken to pan, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer, cover; cook until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir in mint, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Transfer stew to a large serving dish. Allow to cool to room temperature. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place the chicken, sausage and potatoes in a 9x13 baking pan.
• Scatter as many hot cherry peppers as you feel comfortable with (I love heat, so I put a lot!) in the pan.
• To really get the flavor, drizzle a bit of the pepper/vinegar "juice" from the jar over the chicken, etc.
• Drizzle the whole thing with olive oil, then season everything with salt, pepper and a bit of oregano.
• Bake until chicken is cooked through - depending on size/type of chicken pieces, about 70-80 minutes.
• Eat ravenously.

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into pieces. Place a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan and heat. Add the chicken and brown on both sides. Add the onion and the cherry peppers. Discard any excess oil. Add the mushrooms, olives, and capers. Add a dash of paprika and 3 to 4 ounces lightly salted butter. Cook on a high flame until the butter is completely melted, mixing to keep the butter from separating.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put the onions, olives, chiles and bay leaves on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut 1 orange half into wedges and add to the baking sheet.
• Evenly space the chicken thighs, skin-side up, on the baking sheet on top of the other ingredients. Drizzle with the olive oil and squeeze the juice from the remaining orange half on top. Season with salt.
• Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Serve the chicken with the onions, olives, oranges and pan juices.

Steps:

• Combine cumin, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, black pepper, salt, garlic, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix.
• Rub this mixture over the chicken pieces, including into flaps and along leg bones.
• Place the pieces in a shallow baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside (I refrigerate) for at least 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400F (200C) and brush the tops of the chicken pieces with oil.
• Bake 20 minutes.
• Turn the pieces over and bake another 25 minutes or until tender.
• Baste the chicken with drippings 3 or 4 times.
• If there is sauce remaining after baking (I say "if" because I've never done this part!), pour it into a small pot and boil until somewhat reduced.
• Arrange chicken on a platter and pour the reduced sauce over them.

Steps:

• Heat Oven to 425 degrees F.
• Layer Tray or 13X9 Pan with foil and grease very very well with butter preferably.
• (You can skip foil and just grease pan I want less of a clean up so I use a layer or 2 of foil . lol).
• Rinse off drumsticks under cold water. Pat dry with towel or paper towels. Put aside.
• In one bowl mix all the dry ingredients. Seasonings and Flour (I have tried using self rising flour and it turns out great). You can also taste to make sure if extra salt and pepper is needed you know flour can get bland if the spices arent enough.
• In another bowl melt butter for 30 secs or less in microwave.
• Dip drumsticks in melted butter one at a time then roll in flour mixture. Completely coat drumsticks.
• Arrange drumsticks on tray so they all have a little room around to move ;) You can spray the chicken with Pam or Spray with butter.
• Place in oven and bake for 60 -75 mins or until browned.
• NOTE . I turned the drumsticks on the opposite side every 15 - 20 mins so it would cook nicely and firmly on both sides.

Steps:

• In plastic bag mix first 6 ingredients.
• Put milk in a bowl.
• Dip chicken in milk, then shake in the bag.
• Coat well.
• Put chicken in a 13x9 pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Bake, uncovered at 375* for 50 minutes or until juices run clear.
