Cast Iron Sriracha Chicken Thighs With Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain excess grease if desired.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and red bell pepper; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Place chicken thighs on top.
• Mix sriracha sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl; pour evenly over chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and potatoes are browned, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine red onion, oil, soy sauce, basil, vinegar, garlic, and peppercorns for marinade in a zip-top bag and mix well. Add chicken and massage well. Let sit for 4 to 6 hours in the refrigerator, flipping once halfway through.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard marinade.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. (This will melt out most of the fat underneath and will leave a nice crispy skin.) Flip chicken and cook for 1 minute more. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Drain the extra fat and oil from the skillet, then melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. When butter has melted, add red onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in green beans, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring throughout. Return chicken to the skillet.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove the skillet from the oven. Top chicken thighs with basil leaves, then halloumi cheese slices, making sure cheese does not touch the sides of the pan. Return to the oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Turn on the broiler and broil until the cheese is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes more, checking frequently to prevent burning.
• Meanwhile, prepare pesto sauce: Combine olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce in a blender and blitz for 30 seconds. Add basil and blitz until it's the consistency of pesto, about 30 seconds.
• Drizzle the pesto sauce primary onto the chicken, but also on the veggies.
