Strawberry Glazed Chicken Thighs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients for glaze, mixed well and set aside. Clean chicken thighs, pat dry and lay out on a baking pan. Sprinkle salt, pepper and paprika over each thigh and drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over each chicken thigh. Bake chicken for about 30 minutes. Take out of the oven and brush each thigh with glaze. Place back in the oven and let finish cooking for at least 10 more minutes, or until juices from the chicken are running clear.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until grill marks appear and an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, about 15 minutes per side.
• While the chicken cooks, make the sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ketchup, hoisin, sherry, sesame oil, soy sauce and chili garlic sauce. Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Brush the chicken thighs with about 1/2 cup of the sauce several times in the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Serve the chicken with the extra sauce and with cooked broccoli and white rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides. Remove from pan. In same pan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 1 minute., Stir in barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and honey. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 4-6 minutes. Return chicken to pan. Bake until a thermometer reads 165°, 12-15 minutes. Stir in strawberries.

Steps:

• Prepare the glaze by combining rhubarb, strawberries, onion, sugar, mustard seeds, salt and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium high heat, stirring to mix well. Once small bubbles begin to form along outer edge, cook an additional 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Puree in a blender until smooth, then add vinegar and combine. Divide glaze between 2 small bowls (one to glaze the chicken one for the pineapple slices).
• Boil scallions in lightly salted water until bright green, about 2 minutes; drain and set aside.
• Season chicken and pineapple with salt and pepper. If grilling outdoors prepare grill for direct and indirect cooking. If using indoor grill pan skip to next step. Place chicken and pineapple slices over direct heat; brush with glaze. Once pineapple have good grill marks, about 5 minutes, turn over and transfer to indirect cooking. After 10 to 13 minutes the chicken should have grill marks and can be turned over, still on the direct heat side. Once grill marks appear on the second side move to indirect heat to finish cooking. Brush pineapple and chicken with glaze occasionally throughout cooking. When pineapple and chicken pieces are done remove to a platter and keep warm. Use the space on the grill to grill scallions until slightly charred.
• If using a grill pan indoors, grill the pineapple first, about 5 minutes per side brushing with glaze occasionally. Next char the scallions slightly and set aside. Grill the chicken about 10 to 13 minutes per side, brushing with the glaze occasionally through out cooking. Juices should run clear when pricked with a fork.
• To serve, cut each slice of grilled pineapple in half and place a half-slice on each plate. Top with 2 grilled chicken thighs, 2 grilled scallions and the second pineapple half.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken with paper towels until very dry; transfer to a plate or baking sheet. Brush the chicken thighs all over with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Heat a large cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Stir together the salt, paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning and cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the chicken all over with the spice mixture.
• Brush the grill pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add the chicken thighs to the grill pan skin-side down. Cook, rotating the pan on the burner several times to ensure even browning, until the skin has deep-brown grill marks (check the underside by gently lifting up each thigh with tongs), 10 to 12 minutes. Rotate each chicken thigh 90 degrees and continue grilling until deep brown crosshatch marks are visible and the skin is quite brown all over, about 5 minutes.
• Flip the chicken thighs over and grill the flesh side until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (near but not touching bone) registers 160 degrees F, 6 to 9 minutes. Let the thighs rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the strawberry gastrique: Puree strawberries in a blender on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
• Cook sugar in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, amber in color, and nutty in aroma, about 5 minutes. Carefully add vinegar (mixture will crystallize immediately and begin to boil) and reduce heat to low. Cook sugar mixture, stirring frequently, until crystallized sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add strawberry puree and thyme and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt. Cover to keep warm until ready to use.
• Prepare chicken: Open the bottom vent of a grill completely. Light a charcoal chimney starter filled with briquettes. When briquettes are covered with gray ash, pour them onto the bottom grate of grill, and then push to 1 side of grill. Place 3 to 4 applewood chunks on top of hot coals. Coat top grate with oil. Cover grill and insert an instant-read thermometer into a vent in the lid.
• Stir together lavender, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly and liberally with lavender mixture.
• Place chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side up, over the side without coals. Cover and smoke, maintaining temperature inside smoker between 225 and 250 degrees F (107 to 120 degrees C), for 1 1/2 hours. Brush with 1/4 cup gastrique, cover again, and smoke until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 170 degrees F (76 degrees C), 15 to 30 more minutes.
• Transfer chicken thighs to a large plate or platter and brush lightly with another 1/4 cup gastrique. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with remaining gastrique, if desired.

Steps:

• Blend or puree the strawberries into a liquid.
• Dissolve cornstarch in the cold water in a medium saucepan. Add strawberry puree and sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just beginning to boil. Remove from heat.
• Immediately add butter and lemon juice; stir until butter has melted. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
• Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in large frying pan with a fitting lid. Sprinkle thighs with salt and pepper to taste.
• When oil is hot, brown chicken on each side. Remove chicken from pan and drain any water if there is any left. A little bit remaining is okay.
• While chicken is browning, in a separate, small saucepan, combine all remaining ingredients over high until bubbly. Keep simmering until it gets to a thicker glaze consistency.
• Return chicken to pan. Pour glaze all over chicken and cover with a lid. Turn heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Uncover chicken and cook on low to medium until glaze is thick again.
• Serve chicken and pour remaining glaze over it.

Steps:

• Heat cranberry sauce and water in small saucepan on low heat 5 min. or until blended and heated through, stirring occasionally. Stir in mustard and zest. Remove from heat; cool completely. Reserve 1/2 cup mixture; refrigerate for later use.
• Pour remaining cranberry mixture over chicken in shallow glass dish; turn to coat. Refrigerate 3 hours to marinate. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade.
• Heat oven to 400ºF. Place chicken on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 40 to 45 min. or until done (165ºF), turning and brushing chicken with reserved cranberry mixture after 20 min.
