Bobby Flay Throwdown Fried Chicken Wancho Honey Recipes

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise: Whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, lime zest and some salt and pepper in a bowl, cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld, at least 30 minutes.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, soy and honey in a large bowl until combined. Add the cabbage, kimchee and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, and then toss to combine. Cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the oil in large Dutch oven or a deep fryer until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 365 degrees F.
• Divide the flour between 2 large shallow bowls and season each with salt and pepper. Whisk together the coconut milk, buttermilk, ginger and garlic in a large shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set up your breading station: flour, milk, flour.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour and tap off any excess. Dip in the milk mixture and let any excess drip off. Dredge in the second bowl of flour and tap off any excess. Fry the chicken, in batches, until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet fitted with a baking rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Place in the oven to crisp up, about 5 minutes.
• Spread some mayo on each side of the buns. Top with a chicken breast and finish with some of the slaw, then serve.

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a large bowl, mix the buttermilk, sugar, salt, and hot sauce until combined. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
• Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and pat completely dry. Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before frying.
• For the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and chile de arbol until combined. Slowly whisk in the water and whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large Dutch oven. Transfer half the chicken into the batter. Remove the chicken, 1 piece at a time, from the batter (allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl) and carefully transfer to the oil. Fry the chicken, adjusting the burner as necessary to maintain the oil temperature between 300 and 325 degrees F, until deep golden brown and just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels and then transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and season with a little fine sea salt. Bring the oil back to 350 degrees F and repeat with the remaining chicken.

Steps:

Dredge in the second plate of flour and pat off the excess. Put the chicken pieces on a baking rack set over a baking sheet while the oil heats.
• Pour about 3 inches of oil into a deep cast iron skillet; the oil should not come more than halfway up the sides of the pot. Put the pot over medium-high heat and heat the oil to 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot oil, 3 or 4 at a time and fry, turning the pieces occasionally, until evenly golden brown and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack to drain; repeat to cook the remaining pieces. Serve hot, drizzled with the ancho honey.

• Remove from the heat and let the rice sit, covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and fold in the green onion. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large, high sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon of canola to the rendered bacon fat in the pan and heat until it begins to shimmer.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season liberally with salt and pepper. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, dredge in the flour and tap off any excess. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Remove to plate.

Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by 3/4. Add the chicken stock, bring to a simmer and reduce slightly. Stir in the tomatoes, currants or raisins, thyme, 2 teaspoons of honey and season with a little salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Nestle the chicken thighs into the pan, cover with a tight fitting lid and bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove the lid after 35 minutes and continue to bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and tent slightly to keep warm. Put the pan and sauce back on the burner over high heat and bring to a boil. Let the sauce reduce slightly, then season with salt, pepper, and honey, to taste. Stir in the parsley. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and top with the bacon, almonds and more parsley. Serve with Coconut Rice with Green Onions.
