Black Sesame Chicken With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Broil peppers 4 in. from the heat until skins blister, about 15 minutes. Immediately place peppers in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Coarsely chop peppers; transfer to a food processor., Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves); cut top off of garlic bulb. Brush with 1 teaspoon oil. Wrap bulb in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until softened. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Squeeze softened garlic into the food processor with peppers; cover and process until almost smooth. Set aside., Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken in remaining oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove and keep warm., In the same skillet, cook leek for 2 minutes or until leek is lightly browned. Add broth, stirring to loosen any browned bits from pan. Add red pepper mixture, chicken and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 minutes until the chicken juices run clear. Uncover; pepper sauce over pasta if desired. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a resealable bag. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning to the bag and smush everything together. Seal and refrigerate.
• For the red pepper sauce: Melt the butter and add the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add the red peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until hot.
• Add the broth (if you like a thicker sauce only add 1 cup broth, for a thinner sauce add 2 cups broth), salt and pepper and stir until heated. Splash in the cream.
• Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Place on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers). You can serve the sauce right away or cool it and bag it up.
• When ready to cook, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes a side.
• Heat up the red pepper sauce in a pan. Serve everyone a piece of chicken, spoon some sauce over each piece, and garnish with Parmesan shavings and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables alongside.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallots and thyme and sauté until shallots begin to brown, about 4 minutes. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in both stocks. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add vinegar and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Position 1 rack in top third of oven and another in bottom third; preheat to 375°F. Toss potatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and rosemary in large bowl. Arrange potato wedges, rounded side down, on large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 6 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken halves, skin side down; cook until very brown, about 15 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken over; cook 5 minutes longer.
• Place potatoes on top oven rack and transfer skillet with chicken to bottom rack. Roast potatoes and chicken until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Rewarm sauce. Cut each chicken half into 2 pieces. Arrange chicken and potatoes on platter. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the salt, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and honey and mix well to make a marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and put it in the marinade bowl. Rub the marinade on the chicken, going into every nook and cranny, inside and outside, and over and under the skin. Transfer the chicken to a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Scrape every bit of the marinade into the bag, too. Seal the bag, and place it in the back of the refrigerator, where it is coldest, for 12 to 24 hours, flipping the bag a few times to make sure the marinade gets to every part of the bird.
• When you are about to roast the chicken, take it out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Position an oven rack at the very bottom of the oven, then preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a mortar or small chopper, grind together the garlic, cilantro roots, and peppercorns to a smooth paste. Rub the paste all over the chicken the same way you did the marinade. Tuck the wings behind the bird's back and tie the legs together at the ankles with kitchen string. Rub the outside of the chicken with the oil. Place the chicken on its side in a shallow baking pan (preferably fitted with a rack).
• Roast the chicken for 30 minutes. Turn down the temperature to 375°F, turn the chicken onto its other side, and continue to roast until the juices run clear when you pierce the inside of a thigh with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes longer. (If some parts of the chicken brown too soon during the baking, you can cover it loosely with an aluminum-foil tent.)
• Let the chicken rest in the pan for 30 minutes (no less than that) before separating into bone-in breast quarters, thighs, and drumsticks. Serve with sweet chile sauce and rice.
