CHICKEN KAPAMA: GREEK-BRAISED CINNAMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into about 10 pieces. Wash and pat dry. Season both sides with cinnamon, salt and black pepper.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a pot and brown the chicken (in 2-3 batches) about 4 minutes on each side. Set the chicken aside.
• Reduce the temperature to low and add the chopped onions to the pot. Cook for about 10 minutes or until very soft. Add the grated garlic and stir just until heated through.
• Add the chicken with all of its juices back into the pot along with the pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon sticks, salt, pepper, oregano, and sugar. Mix to combine.
• Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with the lid and simmer for one hour.
• Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook uncovered for an additional 30 minutes so that the sauce thickens. Taste the sauce and add more salt (and sugar if acidic) if needed.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over pasta and grated cheese.

Steps:

• Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container.
• Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.

• Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet.
• Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top.
• Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use).
• Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.

• Beat together the egg and milk; dredge the flour-coated chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs.
• Arrange pieces skin side up (if using pieces with skin) in the sprayed roasting pan, making sure that the pieces are not touching each other (if possible) to ensure they bake crispy; spray chicken pieces with oil spray or sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil and place the chicken in the oven to bake.
• While the chicken is baking, in a saucepan over medium low heat combine the butter, honey, pinches of cinnamon, and lemon juice.
• After the chicken has baked for 25 minutes, pour the butter and honey mixture generously over the pieces.
• Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is crisp and brown.
