Chicken Thighs With Roasted Apples And Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray the top and bottom parts of a broiler pan with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and add onion slices. Sprinkle onions with 1 teaspoon salt and saute for 2 minutes. Add sugar and continue cooking until onions are translucent but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Layer apples, potatoes, and sauteed onion slices in the bottom part of the broiler pan. Cover with the part top of the broiler pan.
• Drizzle olive oil over chicken thighs. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub olive oil and spices thoroughly all over each thigh and place on the top part of the broiler pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour. Serve apples, potatoes, and onion alongside chicken thighs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°.
• Combine first 5 ingredients. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss well to coat. Spread apple mixture on a jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, and arrange on top of the apple mixture. Bake at 475° for 25 minutes or until chicken is done and apple is tender. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
• Partially mash apple mixture with a potato masher, and serve with chicken. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
• Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 thighs and about 2/3 cup apple mixture).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Salt and pepper liberally and allow to temper on a cutting board while you prepare the garlic. In a large ovenproof saute pan over medium heat, cook the whole garlic cloves in olive oil and butter, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside. Increase the heat to medium high and brown the chicken skin-side down until the skin is golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over, sprinkle on herbes de Provence. Add the garlic back to the pan and place hot pan in oven. Bake the chicken until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Once the chicken is done, remove chicken thighs and garlic to a platter. Place the pan over medium-high heat and sprinkle the drippings with flour and stir to incorporate. Deglaze the pan with the stock and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken on the platter and serve with bread for sauce-mopping and garlic-spreading.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Spray rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches, with cooking spray.
• In shallow dish, stir together potatoes (dry) and red pepper. In another shallow dish, beat egg with fork or wire whisk until foamy; stir in buttermilk.
• Dip chicken pieces into egg mixture, then roll in potato mixture to coat. Place in pan skin side down. Drizzle with butter. Discard any leftover potato and egg mixtures.
• Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Turn chicken; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until coating is golden brown and juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs).
