Spiced Rubbed Roasted Chicken With Pumpkin Sage Grits Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne and lemon zest in a bowl. Wash the chicken and pat very dry. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken. Set the chicken on a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours (to dry out the skin and promote crisp skin).
• When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stuff the chicken with the lemon quarters, garlic and bay leaves. Arrange the onion slices to make a bed for the chicken in a large cast-iron skillet. Set the chicken on the onions and tuck the wings tips under the chicken's body. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter.
• Roast the chicken, basting once halfway through with the pan juices, until the skin is crisp and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh (do not touch bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Blend Spreadables butter with ginger, lemon zest, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined; set aside.
• Place chicken, back-side-up, with neck facing away on a cutting board. Use a chef's knife or poultry shears to cut along each side of the backbone. Remove and discard backbone. Turn chicken over; turn legs drumsticks-inward and press on breastbone to flatten. Place chicken, cut-side-down in a roasting pan.
• Melt 3 tablespoons (45 mL) butter mixture; toss with potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and green onions. Scatter around chicken.
• Carefully loosen skin over breast meat, legs, and thighs using fingertips. Spread remaining butter mixture evenly under and over skin of chicken.
• Roast, basting occasionally, for 60 to 75 minutes (or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F/74 degrees C in thigh and breast meat).
• Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Carve chicken into portions and serve with vegetables.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine 2 tablespoons of the oil with the cumin, coriander, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spiced oil all over the chicken pieces and place on a foil-lined shallow-rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the chicken is golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest parts registers 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, toast the pepitas in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Cool and coarsely chop. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the cilantro, lime juice, chiles, onions, remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt and toss together.
• 3. Arrange the chicken pieces on a platter and serve with the bowl of salsa on the side, accompanied by Mexican rice and black beans.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Combine first 3 ingredients. Place chicken in 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray; brush with oil, then rub with cinnamon mixture.
• Bake 20 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).
• Meanwhile, bring water to boil in medium saucepan. Stir in grits. Add pumpkin and sage; mix well. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 5 to 7 min. or until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
• Serve chicken with grits.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the sage, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Using your hands, coat the chicken with the herb rub, getting under the skin as well. Place the rubbed chicken on the baking sheet skin-side up and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Combine the peach jam and red pepper jelly in a small pot and heat. Add more pepper jelly a little at a time to up the heat level, if desired.
• Spoon some peach glaze on top of the chicken pieces. Roast 15 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and baste with more glaze. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, another 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• The night before, put the chicken in a medium roasting tin. Rub the salt generously over the skin and into the cavity, then grind over some black pepper. Push one half of a lemon into the cavity, then tie the legs together with kitchen string. Cover and chill overnight.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Dab a little of the excess salt from the skin using kitchen paper.
• Mix the butter with the garlic and sage. Push the herby garlic butter under the skin using your hands and rub it over the flesh, making sure it's evenly spread out. Stuff the thyme and bay leaves into the cavity, then put the remaining lemon halves in the tin around the chicken. Roast for 1 hr, then baste the chicken with the buttery juices from the tin. Roast for a further 20-30 mins, or until cooked through. Check the chicken is cooked by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh - the juices should run clear.
• Transfer the chicken to a board, cover and leave to rest for 20 mins before carving. Slice and serve on a warmed platter.

Steps:

• Stir celery flakes, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, sage, black pepper, rosemary, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Transfer spice mixture to a spice grinder or food processor and blend until smooth.
