Vincent Prices Chicken Sweet And Hot Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all of the above ingredients, except chicken, in a pan.
• Heat gently, stirring until jelly is blended and sauce is smooth (it doesn't really thicken a lot, just a little bit).
• Cool.
• Pour sauce over 1 quartered chicken and marinate for 2 or 3 hours (I had a change of plans the day I prepared the marinade; mine marinated overnight).
• Cover and cook in preheated moderate oven (I used 350 degrees F for the first 40 minutes, then raised it to 375 degrees F).
• Uncover, increase oven temperature to hot (I raised it to 425 degrees F) and baste frequently until chicken is an even dark brown.
• (Before I put the chicken in at the higher temperature, I used a large spoon to take out some of the marinade/basting sauce; it seemed to make a lot to me-- I left just enough in the dish to use for basting, but not so little that it would burn at the high) Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Take the capon or chicken and loosen the skin by sliding your hand under the skin around the thighs and breast meat, tearing the connective tissue from the upper layer.
• Finely grate the onion using a box grater or food processor- make sure you don't lose the liquid from the onion; set aside.
• Cut the crusts from the bread; discard crusts (or reserve for some other dish).
• Sprinkle the bread with the water and let it sit for 3 minutes; squeeze the excess water from the slices, and crumble or roughly chop into pieces.
• To make the stuffing, thoroughly combine the moistened bread with the parsley, eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, thyme or sage, and grated onion (together with the onion juice).
• Insert the stuffing between the loosened skin and meat of the capon: over the breast and into the thighs.
• Take a shallow roasting pan with a rack and place the capon breast-up on the rack.
• Rub the capon with the softened butter, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Roast at 375° for 45 minutes, basting frequently with the pan juices.
• Reduce the temperature to 350° and roast for an additional 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes, then carefully turn the capon over onto the breast and cook for another 15 minutes to brown the meat on the back.
• Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes then carve and serve hot, or also is good cold the next day.

Steps:

• Night before serving (or 8 hours before): crush the garlic and add into the olive oil, then chill overnight in glass container in refrigerator.
• About an hour before serving: tear the leaves from the lettuce, wash well, and dry thoroughly (a salad spinner works well); chill in refrigerator.
• When ready to make salad: strain and remove the garlic from the infused chilled olive oil.
• Trim the crusts from the stale bread, cut into cubes, and brown them by sautéing over medium heat in 1/4 cup of the garlic-infused olive oil, turning them to brown on all sides; drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Pour the remaining infused oil into a jar and add the cayenne, Tabasco, sugar, and anchovies (which Mr Vincent says are optional, but you shouldn't try to make real Caesar dressing without them), cover with lid, and shake well to mix.
• Break the chilled lettuce leaves into pieces and place in a large bowl; sprinkle the lettuce with the pepper and salt, then pour the olive oil mixture over and mix to thoroughly coat the leaves.
• Put water in a pot and bring to a full boil, then take the egg and boil it for 1 minute; remove, crack the shell, and drop it into the salad.
• Sprinkle the lemon juice over the egg in the salad and then gently stir the egg into the leaves- it will come to have a creamy appearance.
• Presentation: when ready to serve the salad, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over it and then the croutons, then toss lightly to mix and serve immediately.
• Great with garlic bread!
