Bonnies Crocked Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. I use a large stainless steel pan with a shallow rim, big enough to hold all the ingredients in a single layer. Grease the pan with kitchen spray.
• 2. Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice. Place the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the zest, garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Pat thighs dry and add to the mixture in the bowl. Coat the chicken thighs with the mixture and place them skin UP in the center of the baking pan.
• 3. Add the vegetables to the bowl with your hands and toss the vegetables until they are coated. Place the vegetables around the chicken in the pan in a single layer.
• 4. Roast in the oven at 425 degrees for about 45 minutes. Stir the vegetables halfway through the cooking process. Test the vegetables to see if they are done, if not, continue cooking. At this time, using tongs, flip the chicken thighs over to "baste" the top of the meat in the juices, and then flip it back over. (Sneaky way to baste.)
• 5. The meat and vegetables will be golden brown. It may take a few minutes less or a few minutes more, depending on how big the pieces of meat are, and how big you slice the vegetables. If you like them more brown, turn on the broiler for a few minutes, but watch them carefully.
• 6. Next time, after you have tried this dish, feel free to add anything else to it that you can't live without. Enjoy!

Steps:

• MAKE THE CHICKEN: Place the skinless, fat removed thighs, into the crockpot with the fleshy side up in a single layer.
• Add the wine and the broth. It should just barely cover the chicken.
• Add the seasonings of rosemary, sage and black cracked pepper. Add the minced dried onions. Cover and cook on low about 3 to 4 hours or until tender. Taste broth to see if it needs salt.
• MAKE THE RICE: When the chicken is done, place the water and chicken granules and parsley in a medium sauce pan. When it comes to a boil, add the minute rice, stir, cover and remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• SERVE THE CHICKEN: Using an ice cream scoop, scoop a serving of rice on the plate. Drizzle a ladle of juices from the crockpot slowly over the top of the rice. Place a serving of chicken on the plate and garnish it with chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken thighs, remove any fat and blot with paper towels. Just before adding the thighs to the skillet, sprinkle each thigh with coarse ground black pepper and kosher salt. Heat the butter in a medium high skillet (stainless steel or cast iron) Don't let it smoke or it will burn.
• Sear 4 thighs at a time. Sear the thighs until they are golden brown on each side. Don't move them until they form a crust. This takes about 2-3 minutes each side on medium-high heat. If the chicken sticks to the pan, it's not ready to be turned yet. Wait until it releases. Remove the chicken thighs to a platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Don't wipe out the pan!
• Add the onion rings and cook them until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Then add cornstarch to the water, whisk until it is smooth and then add it to the cooked onions and stir it in.
• Return the braised thighs to the pan. Turn the heat down to low, and cover the thighs to let them simmer slowly, until they are moist and tender and the onion sauce has thickened. This takes about 25 minutes.
• Serve on a platter with the sauce drizzled over the top. Good with rice or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chicken. Trim the fat and remove skin and bones.
• 2. I used disposable Saran cutting sheets, because it doesn't cut the top layer of breast meat and makes for a nicer final presentation.
• 3. Flatten the chicken breasts with a mallet between two disposable cutting sheets.
• 4. Pat the chicken breasts dry and sprinkle on some cracked black pepper to taste. Place the peppered chicken in the ziploc bag. Do NOT add salt.
• 5. Mix the marinade ingredients in a small bowl.
• 6. Pour the marinade over the chicken, close the bag securely and gently knead the chicken to make sure all the pieces are covered with the marinade. Place the bag on a flat plate and refrigerate about 6 hours. Turn the bag over every two hours.
• 7. Grease the grill so the chicken doesn't stick to it. Place the marinated chicken on the grill over medium heat.
• 8. Grill chicken about 7 to 8 minutes until nicely browned, then turn the breast over and grill the other side about 7 minutes until the juices run clear. Do not overcook the chicken. Chicken should be juicy but not dry.

• 10. Place the chicken on a platter, tent it and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. (Chicken continues to cook while resting) Enjoy!
