Chicken Kedra Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the wings and thighs off the chicken. Cut the back away from the breasts, then split the breasts down the middle, leaving them on the bone.
• Make marinade by chopping parsley and mixing with saffron, 1 tsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
• Place chicken pieces into marinade, turn to coat, and let sit 1 hour in the fridge.
• Fry the chicken in the marinade briefly (about 1 minute), then cover with water and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• While chicken is simmering, chop onions into thin slices, salt, and fry over low heat in 1 tbsp vegetable oil until soft and translucent.
• Shortly before serving, mix almonds with onions and fry for a few minutes.
• Serve with basmati rice or couscous.

Steps:

• For the marinade: Put the chicken in a large bowl and add the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper and toss until the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
• For the seasoned flour: Combine the flour, Cajun seasoning, pepper, baking powder, salt and confectioners' sugar in a large shallow dish or paper bag.
• Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and dredge each piece in the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess and transfer to a plate.
• Fill a large cast-iron skillet halfway with oil and fit the skillet with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set a cooling rack on top.
• Add 5 or 6 pieces of chicken at a time to the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook until the chicken is golden brown and juices run clear when pierced, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Remove to the prepared cooling rack and let sit for 5 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
• For the sandwiches: Meanwhile, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon, pickle brine and hot sauce in a small bowl. Spread the mixture on both sides of the baguettes. Lay the pickles and tomatoes on top of the mayonnaise on one side of each piece of bread. Add a few chicken pieces to each. Top with some Red Cabbage Slaw and the top pieces of bread. Cut each loaf in half, then cut into 8 to 10 portions. Serve with lots of napkins!
• Combine the oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, mustard seeds and minced garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Add the coleslaw mix, cabbage and green onions and toss lightly. Taste the slaw, then add salt and pepper to your liking. Serve right away or chill up to overnight.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large skillet and brown chicken.
• Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, catsup, sherry (or apple juice), pepper flakes, garlic and onion together.
• Add mixture to chicken and simmer for 35-45 minutes.
• Blend cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water and add to sauce to thicken.
• Garnish with seeds and serve.
