THE BOMB SOUTHERN CHICKEN WITH RED BEANS AND RICE AND COLLARD GREENS
Steps:
- For the beans and rice: The night before cooking, put the beans in a large pot and add water to cover. Soak overnight in a cool place. Drain and rinse before using.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, ham, sausage, celery, bell pepper and saute, stirring a few times, until the vegetables are tender but not browned. Stir in the cayenne and cook 1 minute. Add the beans, 3 cups of the chicken broth and tomatoes and stir. Add the thyme, sage and bay leaf. Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook the beans until tender but not too soft, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the bay leaves. Season the beans with salt and pepper. Remove 1 cup of the cooked beans and mash them. Return them to the pot and stir to combine with the whole beans.
- During the last 20 minutes of cooking the beans, make the rice. Combine the rice, the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is just tender throughout, about 20 minutes. Keep the rice and beans warm.
- For the collard greens: Place the ham hock in a large pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover with the lid slightly off and let simmer until the meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the ham hock from the pot and add the collard greens, lemon, thyme, hot sauce and some freshly ground black pepper. Cover with the lid slightly off and cook the collards until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the collards from the pot and reserve the cooking liquid.
- Shred the meat from the ham hock and reserve.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded ham and cook until crisped up. Add the collards and stir. Add a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid and stir. Turn off the heat, cover and keep warm.
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the chicken broth, vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and cayenne in a baking dish. Season the mixture with some salt and pepper, add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Reserve the cooking liquid from the baking dish.
- Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F or fill a heavy pot halfway with canola oil and heat it to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the baking dish and pat it dry. Reserve the liquid in the baking dish. Deep fry the chicken until just browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Strain the cooking liquid from the baking dish into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir in the butter.
- To serve, stir a few splashes of vinegar or hot sauce into the collard greens. Spoon some rice on each plate, top with the beans and collards and finish with 2 chicken thighs. Spoon the chicken sauce over the top.

CHICKEN THIGHS RED BEANS & RICE
This dish is so so easy to make, but is so so satisfying. I make this often, and it is a variation of a recipe I found years ago in a Pillsbury cook book. It makes the house smell great and is especially good on a crisp fall night, although I've noticed that it disappears quickly no matter what the temperature is outside. The...

SPICY RED BEANS WITH CHICKEN AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
This recipe came to The Times in a 2012 article about cooking in a bean hole, a classic method of outdoor cooking popular in Maine. Here's how it works: Dig a hole big enough for the pot you're planning to cook in, then build a fire of hardwood logs in it. Drop a dozen or so rocks into the fire once it's started. When the wood has burned down to embers, remove the rocks using barbecue gloves, put your pot of presoaked beans into the embers, drop the rocks around and on top of the pot, cover everything with dirt and walk away. Come back in about eight hours, and your beans should be ready. Not in the mood to dig a hole in your backyard? No worries. These spicy New Orleans-style red beans with chicken and andouille sausage can just as easily be made in your oven. The slightly sweet creaminess of the beans and the richness of the chicken temper the sharp heat of the andouille sausage and red pepper flakes. Serve over a pile of snowy white rice alongside an ice-cold beer.

Steps:
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans and heat the oven to 350.
- Heat the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken thighs and brown well, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the thighs, add the sausage to pot and brown well, another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the sausage. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add back the thighs and sausage along with the beans, filé powder if using, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and enough water to cover. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover and transfer the pot to the oven and bake until the beans are tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours, checking every half-hour or so after the first hour and adding water as needed if all the liquid has been absorbed.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES
Adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," this true one-pot wonder of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes and chiles will make everyone at the table happy. As the chicken thighs roast, the cumin-scented rice soaks up all of the delicious juices. When the timer chimes, the rice and chicken emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet here; a smaller or larger pan might result in under- or overcooked chicken or rice. Leftovers, if you have any, are great in tacos or enchiladas.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (the pan size is very important) over medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides to give it good color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Meanwhile, add the Fresno chiles or jalapeños, cinnamon, garlic and cumin to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the black beans and cherry tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rice on top in an even layer. (It's important that the black beans are beneath the rice and chicken. The rice will burn otherwise.) Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The chicken should be lovely and golden, the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be tender. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and avocado (squeeze some lime juice over the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper).
BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH RED RICE AS MADE BY HUGH ACHESON RECIPE BY TASTY
My father who has Alzheimer's was born in Havana, Cuba and this recipe is something that he and I would make. I partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to tell my story about gathering around the table and sustaining family history through food. I firmly believe in getting people to cook, no matter what. When we cook and share food together, we build indelible memories of conversations and stories. Through some love and heart, this easy recipe blends the thriftiness of chicken thighs, simple vegetables, and rice into something nourishing... and really tasty.

Steps:
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down and let cook without disturbing for 10 minutes. This will allow the skin to caramelize and develop a ton of flavor in the process. Turn the thighs over, cook for 1 minute more, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the onion, tomatoes, poblano, garlic, and paprika to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Carefully add the vinegar and stir to loosen any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the vinegar is reduced by half, 2-4 minutes, then pour in the stock.
- Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, then remove lid and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
- Meanwhile, make the red rice: In a large pan, cook the slab bacon over medium heat until the fat renders and it begins to crisp, 5-8 minutes.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, and jalapeño and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, ½ cup (100 G) of the reserved tomato juice, bay leaves, and season with salt. 9. Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Serve the chicken over the rice with some of the braising jus and vegetables ladled over.
- Enjoy!

CRISPY BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CANNELLINI BEANS AND GREENS
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or pot (at least 4 inches high and large enough to hold the chicken thighs in a single layer; see Cook's Note) over medium-high heat.
- Thoroughly pat dry the chicken thighs and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, seasoning the skins generously. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pot and cook, undisturbed, until the skins are dark golden, about 8 minutes. They will sizzle a lot but don't worry and do not move the chicken thighs. If the pot starts to smoke or smells like the chicken is burning, reduce the heat a little (see Cook's Note).
- Flip chicken thighs and cook the other side until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions to pot. Cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and herbs and cook, stirring, until the onions and garlic are lightly browned. Add the wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot (the wine will help loosen the bits).
- IF USING CANNED BEANS: Return the chicken thighs, skin-side up, to the pot, nestling them between the onions. Add enough chicken stock to cover the onions and garlic and about 3/4 up the chicken thighs, letting the chicken skin sit above the stock. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the chicken for 25 minutes.
- Remove 2 to 3 chicken thighs from the pot. Add the beans and stir into the stock. Reposition the chicken thighs in the pot on top of the beans so the chicken skin remains exposed. Return the 2 to 3 chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up. Add more stock to cover the beans, if necessary. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully stir the greens into the beans, around the chicken, then simmer until the greens are tender, 8 to 10 more minutes.
- IF USING DRIED BEANS: Add the soaked dried beans to the onions and garlic in the pot. Add enough chicken stock to cover the beans by about 2 inches. Increase the heat, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Return the chicken thighs, skin-side up, to the pot, nestling them in the beans slightly so that the skin isn't submerged. Simmer, uncovered, until the beans are tender, adding more stock if the beans start to get too dry, for another 35 minutes. Taste the beans and add salt and/or pepper, to taste. Carefully stir the greens into the beans, around the chicken, then simmer until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Ladle the beans and greens into shallow bowls then top with the chicken thighs. Add a drizzle of olive oil (for the omega-3 balance!), squeeze of lemon and chopped fresh parsley.
