Italian Angry Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with the soy sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch and egg together to form a batter.
• Heat the oil in a wok. Dip the chicken into the batter and fry over a high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp and just cooked. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Add the chiles and peppers to the pan and fry for 3 to 4 minutes before adding all the sauce ingredients except, for the cornstarch. Simmer over a high heat for 5 minutes, then blend 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sauce with the remaining cornstarch in a cup until smooth. Return to the pan and bubble until the sauce thickens.
• Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is sticky and coated. Serve in deep bowls.
• Meanwhile steam the zucchini batons for 2 to 3 minutes, then divide between four bowls. Serve with the hot and sour chicken.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavybased pan. Add the onions and whole garlic cloves. Fry, stirring frequently, for 10 mins, adding the chillies for the final min.
• Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and allow it to bubble for 1 min to cook off the alcohol. Stir in the stock, tomatoes, tomato purée and thyme with some seasoning. Add the chicken legs, pushing them under the liquid, then part-cover the pan and leave to simmer gently for 45 mins.
• Remove the lid and cook for a further 15 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced a little. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like, and pasta or mash.

Steps:

• Get pan hot with oil (med-high), then add the garlic cloves.
• Leave garlic in for 5 min until darkens.
• Remove Garlic then add chicken. Brown on each side and reduce heat.
• Add the remaining ingredients above.
• Set stove to simmer don't cover.
• Rotate the chicken about every 10-20 minutes.
• If liquid gets a little low, add more Chardonnay and or water.
• Continue rotating until oil begins to separate and chicken meat is falling off the bone (approx 1 hour).

Steps:

• This is one of the most popular dishes on my menu. I have a restaurant in Mumbai, so I visit India often, and here you can see how I've been influenced by one of my favorite Indian dishes: Tandoori chicken. The bird is first marinated in spiced yogurt before being roasted in a very hot oven. For garnish, I make a zesty sauce from the marinade and serve the pieces of chicken with whole grilled fresh chiles. The secret ingredient here is the hot sauce. I always use Frank's, a Louisiana-based sauce with a distinct red pepper flavor, which is neither as hot nor as sharp as other brands. As a result, the marinated chicken is certainly spicy, but not incendiary. If you want more heat, I encourage you to eat the chiles. The noodle topping is dramatic, and you'll always see it at the restaurant, but at home you can consider it optional.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Trim any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse and pat dry. Place the chicken quarters in a large bowl. Measure out 1 cup of the Spicy Yogurt Marinade and reserve for the sauce; refrigerate in a small covered container.
• Pour the rest of the marinade over the chicken. Turn the pieces to make sure they are all well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange the pieces on 1 or 2 half-sheet pans or large baking sheets. Discard the chicken marinade.
• Roast for 40 minutes, until the chicken is tender and lightly browned and the juices run clear when the thighs are pricked with the tip of a small knife. Transfer the pieces to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• While the chicken is roasting, make the sauce. Boil the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over high heat until it is reduced to 1 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1 cup Spicy Yogurt Marinade and cook just until heated through. Do not boil, or the yogurt will separate. Keep the sauce warm.
• As soon as the chickens are done, preheat the broiler. Toss the chiles with the oil to coat lightly and spread them out on a broiler rack or small baking sheet. Broil the chiles about 4 inches from the heat, turning them a couple of times, until they are blistered and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, layer the chicken and chiles on a large platter. Pour the sauce around the chicken. Top with the Fried Rice Noodles. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the chicken.
• To make the marinade, grind the peppercorns, cumin, coriander seeds, and cardamom in a spice grinder or use a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Add the hot sauce, yogurt, cream, and soy sauce and whisk until smooth and well blended.
• Add vegetable oil to reach about 2 inches up the sides of a large saucepan or a wok. Heat the oil over high heat to 340 degrees F. Separate 1 bundle of thin rice noodles into 2 portions. Working with 1 portion at a time, add the noodles to the oil. They will puff up almost immediately. Using a large wire skimmer, transfer to paper towels to drain.

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper; grill or cook in a skillet.
• Sautee the mushrooms in butter or oil until just done.
• For the sauce: Combine garlic and wine.
• Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes to reduce by half.
• Add cream and increase heat to bring to a low boil.
• Reduce heat to simmer and add cajun seasoning. (Be careful if you use a different brand of Cajun Seasoning - I use McCormick's and it doesn't seem to be too salty)
• Simmer 10-15 minutes, add cheeses until smooth.
• Add in chicken and mushrooms over low heat.
• You can add 1 pound of pasta (cooked) and toss to coat with the sauce, or you can serve the chicken with the sauce over a bed of rice.
