Poultry Essentials Spicy Baked Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the parsley in the center of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and top with the lemon slices. Pour the wine around the parsley. Brush the tops of the chicken with the olive oil and season with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the lemon slices. Cut an 8-by-10-inch piece of parchment and place it on top of the chicken.
• Bake until the chicken registers 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer, 40 to 45 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. The chicken can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Sauce:
• Heat oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and chili flakes. Cook, stirring until the onion begins to soften.
• Add the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 220c.
• Line a baking tray with foil and spray it with cooking spray.
• Place the chicken on prepared baking tray, skin side down. Brush with half the sauce.
• Bake for 8 minutes, turn over, brush with remaining sauce and bake a further 7 minutes or until cooked through.
• Serve at once.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken. In a large nonstick skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. Set aside about 3 tablespoons of this seasoning mixture for the chicken; store the remainder in an airtight container for later use (for seasoning fish, meats, or vegetables).
• Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Rub some of the reserved 3 tablespoons of seasoning onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the grill, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear.

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the stock to a bowl, dissolve the salt, and add the pepper flakes. Then, add the chicken wings.
• Cover and place in the fridge for 2 or 3 hours.
• Add the wings and brine to a saucepan.
• Bring up to a boil, and then continue to boil for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Remove from the brine, pat dry, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet fitted with a wire rack, and let them dry out for about 30 minutes.
• While the wings are drying out, place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• Add the wings to the preheated oven, and bake until golden, 12 - 18 minutes.
• While the wings are baking, add the sauce ingredients to a saucepan.
• Bring to a simmer, and reduce by about half, or until thickened, 8 - 10 minutes.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Toss in the sauce and serve while nice and hot. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and pound to an even ½-inch thickness with a heavy skillet or meat pounder.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, combine the oil, almonds and garlic. Season with salt, then set over high heat. Once the mixture starts to sizzle, reduce heat to medium and cook, swirling occasionally, until light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the almonds and garlic to a paper towel-lined plate. (Keep the oil in the skillet.)
• Set the skillet over medium-high. Season the chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt, then add to the skillet and cook until browned underneath and opaque halfway up the sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and transfer the chicken to a plate, seared side up.
• With the skillet still over low heat, add the tomato paste and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly and scraping up browned bits, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the skillet, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken, as well as any accumulated juices, seared side up to the skillet, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. (The moisture from the chicken will keep the tomato paste from burning, but if you're concerned, add a teaspoon of water as a preventative measure.)
• Uncover, add the lemon juice, then flip and drag the chicken through the tomato-lemon glaze to coat all sides. Transfer to plates, spoon over any remaining glaze and sprinkle with the fried almonds and garlic.
