Sweet And Sour Chicken Thighs With Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Blot chicken thighs with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter with olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Place chicken thighs in the hot oil and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
• Add carrots, onion, and minced garlic to the same skillet, stirring to coat with pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes. Nestle browned chicken thighs into the vegetables, pour wine and 2 tablespoons water over everything, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until carrots are fork-tender and chicken juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and vegetables from the skillet with a slotted spoon.
• Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve any lumps. Add slurry to the drippings in the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour sauce over chicken pieces and vegetables and sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry. Stir together 1 1/2 teaspoons salt with paprika, cinnamon, and pepper and rub onto chicken.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over once, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a plate.
• Discard all but 3 tablespoons fat from skillet, then add onion and carrots. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
• Return chicken, skin sides up, to skillet, nestling it into vegetables. Stir together water, lemon juice, and honey until blended and add to skillet, then cook over moderately low heat, covered, until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary, skim fat from sauce, then add salt to taste. Sprinkle with herbs just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix pineapple juice, barbeque sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Put remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag with the chicken thighs; seal the bag. Turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for 8 hours or overnight. Flip the bag once halfway through if possible.
• Drain chicken, discarding used marinade.
• Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes, basting frequently with reserved marinade. Flip and continue to bake and baste until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Spray pan with nonstick spray.
• Unravel thighs to flatten, putting smooth side of thigh face down on cutting board. Roll up each side and place thigh, rolled sides down, in a large shallow oven-safe pan. Repeat with each thigh. You want them to be quite close together.
• Mix together remaining ingredients and pour sauce evenly over chicken. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, chicken broth, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper together in a glass or ceramic bowl; reserve 1 cup in a separate container for basting. Add chicken to the remainder and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator, for 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and discard used marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, basting frequently with reserved 1 cup marinade mixture, 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with green onions.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry. Stir together 1 1/2 tsp salt with paprika, cinnamon and pepper. Rub onto chicken.
• Heat oil and brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over once, about 10 minutes per batch.
• Transfer browned chicken to a plate.
• Discard all but 3 TBS of fat from the skillet and add onion and carrots. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until onion softens and begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring 1 minute longer.
• Return chicken to skillet, skin side up, nestling it into vegetables. Stir together honey, water, lemon juice until blended and add to skillet, then cook over moderately low heat, covered, until chicken is cooked through and carrots are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. If necessary skim fat from sauce, then add salt to taste.
• Sprinkle with herbes just before serving.
