Citrus Glazed Chicken Food

CITRUS GLAZED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Place the chicken halves in a deep dish like a casserole dish.
• Pour the marinade over the top of the chicken and use a pastry brush to coat the chicken on all sides.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning the chicken over at least once.
• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Lightly spray a large baking sheet or roasting pan with non stick cooking spray OR line with parchment paper.
• Line the baking sheet with the orange and lemon slices.
• Transfer the two chicken halves to the baking sheet so they are resting on top of the orange and lemon slices.
• Pour the marinade over the top of the chicken.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165F and juices run clear.
• Baste the chicken every 15 minutes.
• Let chicken rest 10 minutes before carving.

CITRUS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup for Glaze and put the chicken in a 13-by-9-inch pan and bake for 45 minutes. Baste with the Glaze, turn the pieces over and bake for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, basting every 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange the chicken on a serving platter.
• In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the shallots and ginger and saute for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Baste the chicken with the glaze after 45 minutes.

SUNNY'S EASY 1-2-3 SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH CITRUS-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. With your hands, coat the chicken entirely with Sunny's 1-2-3 Spice Rub. Place in a plastic bag, press out the air, seal and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, place in one layer on a baking sheet or tray and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
• Rest the chicken at room temperature for 2 hours. This is an important step, so you begin cooking the chicken when it is at room temperature. This allows the chicken to cook evenly throughout.
• Preheat a grill or oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken over the indirect heat of the grill and close the lid. If using the oven, put the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil and place on the center oven rack. Cook for 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the juice, honey and chili flakes if using.
• Open the grill or remove the chicken from the oven and brush each piece liberally with the glaze. Quickly close the grill lid or return the chicken to the oven and cook until done and the chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. Allow the chicken to rest, tented with aluminum foil, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, pepper, chili powder and salt. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

CITRUS GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Pound the chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; dip into citrus mixture. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in oil for about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken. In the same skillet, cook garlic, onions and ginger in butter for 1 minute. Add flour and salt; cook and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Return chicken to pan; sprinkle with parsley. Simmer for 8-10 minutes or until chicken juices run clear, turning occasionally.

ONION-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH CARAMEL CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• Make the fried onions: Heat up to 1 quart of vegetable oil (2 to 3 inches deep) in a deep saute pan or skillet until it reaches about 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the julienne onions and toss to coat. In batches, being careful not to crowd, add the onions to the hot oil to fry, making sure to lightly shake off excess flour prior to putting them in. When they are golden brown but not dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the onions to paper towels. When the onions are done, give them a rough chop and set aside.
• Add the bacon and minced red onion to a nonstick saute pan and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, 2 cups water and the tomato puree and reduce the mixture until it thickens, another 5 to 8 minutes. Add all the citrus juices and stir well to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Fill one shallow bowl with the beaten egg and milk, and fill a second with the fried onions. Individually, dip the chicken breasts into the egg, then press into the fried onion. Place the chicken breasts in the heated skillet and cook until golden, about 10 minutes per side, carefully turning once.
• Pour the glaze over the breasts to serve. It goes great with rice or mashed potatoes.

CITRUS MARMALADE-GLAZED CHICKEN LIVERS WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND CRISPY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter.
• On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes with the melted butter, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon thyme. Put them in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chopped bacon and cook for a few minutes. You don't want to over-crisp the bacon before you add the livers. If the bacon gets too crisp before the livers go in just take it out and lay on a paper towel to drain. Season the livers with salt, and pepper, and add to the pan. We are looking for a great dark sear on each side so let the livers cook about 3 minutes per side. Put the livers on one side of pan and the bacon on the other. After the livers are cooked, add the marmalade and the remaining thyme and give it a good toss or stir. Turn off the heat and let stand. While the livers are resting, in another saute pan add 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. Put the pan over high heat and when the butter starts to brown, add the sliced Brussels sprouts and spread out across the entire pan. Cook for 2 minutes, add salt, and pepper, and toss like a pancake or simply stir them up. The edges will start to brown and you'll get a deep nutty crispness.
• Place the Brussels sprouts down on a plate and lay the livers on top and then flank it with the new potatoes.
• To make Citrus Marmalade:
• Heat a large pot over medium heat and stir in the grapefruit sections, grapefruit peel, sugar, wine, and rice wine vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 90 minutes or until it's nice and thick. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and quickly pulse. Do not fully puree it. Keep the mixture in a jar to use with meats or desserts.
