CLAY-POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
• Dry fry the coconut in a large wok until evenly browned. Add the vegetable oil, shallots or onion, garlic, lemon grass, ginger, chillies and tamarind paste. Fry for 2 - 4 minutes to release the flavours. Add the chicken pieces to the wok and brown evenly with the spices for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Strain the coconut milk, and add the thin part with the chicken stock, lime leaves, if using, sugar and vinegar. Transfer to a glazed clay pot, cover and bake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Stir in the thick part of the coconut milk and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes.
• Place the tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water to loosen and remove the skins. halve the tomatoes, then remove the seeds and chop into large dice.
• Add the chopped tomatoes to the finished dish, sprinkle with the chopped coriander and serve.
• Plain rice is the usual accompaniment, but I normally serve with Naan Bread.

CLAY POT HONEY-LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare a clay roaster by soaking in cold water for 15 minutes.
• Wash the chicken well inside and out under cool running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and season evenly on all sides with the salt and pepper. Place the reserved lemon shell inside the chicken cavity. Place the chicken inside the prepared clay roaster and brush with the melted butter. Cover the roaster and transfer to a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and cook for 45 minutes.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of lemon juice, honey, and soy sauce in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until heated through. In a small bowl, make a paste from the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the flour. Whisk the butter-flour mixture into the melted honey-lemon-butter mixture. Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove the clay cooker from the oven and pour the honey-butter mixture all over the chicken, making sure to evenly cover the breast and any exposed areas. Cover the roaster and return the chicken to the oven for 45 minutes, or until it is cooked through and very tender. Transfer the chicken to a platter or carving board, cut into pieces and serve immediately. Transfer the sauce to a gravy boat for serving, or spoon some of the sauce over each piece of chicken.

CLAY POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the chicken all over with the oil, and loosely stuff the cavity with 3 onions, 1 garlic clove and 1 sprig of parsley. Set aside. On the bottom of a 3-quart terra-cotta jug or deep heavy casserole, spread half the prosciutto, 2 sprigs parsley, 4 onions, 1 garlic clove, 1 bay leaf and all of the giblets. Place the chicken head-first in the pot, or breast-side up in a casserole. Scatter the remaining onions, garlic, 3 sprigs parsley, prosciutto and bay leaf around and on top of the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, wine, Port, brandy, mustard, and pepper, and pour over the chicken. Cover the pot or casserole and bake for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove pot from the oven, and carefully remove the onions and reserve. Drain the liquid from the pot into a large skillet. Lift out the chicken and transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
• Use a slotted spoon to lift out the giblets from the pot, along with any remaining whole onions and add them to the reserved onions.
• Set the skillet of liquid over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until liquid is reduced by half, stirring often. Preheat a broiler. Place the chicken under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. To serve, cut the chicken into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the onions and giblets around the chicken, and spoon some of the warm sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley sprigs and pass extra sauce.

CARAMELIZED CLAYPOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar with fish sauce over medium-low heat, about 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the chicken: Heat the oil in a shallow claypot or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, chilies, ginger, ½ cup of caramel sauce, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper; bring to a boil. Continue cooking to reduce slightly, about 4-5 minutes, then add the chicken. Turn the heat down and simmer, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with steamed jasmine rice (optional).

ONION CLAY POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the claypot and lid in cold water. (If it´s the first time you´re using it, let both lid and bottom soak for 15 minutes in cold water.).
• Peel, rinse and cut the onions into quarters, the leek and spring onions into 4 pieces, and leave the peeled garlic cloves whole.
• Rub the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika powder.
• Put the chicken in the claypot breast side up, and surround with, leeks, onions and garlic cloves.
• Put the butter in small clicks over the chicken and veggies.
• Cover with the lid and put the pot on a rack far down in a cold oven.
• Turn on oven and bake at 225 degrees celsius for about 1 and 1/2 hours removing the lid for the last 15 minutes to brown. (Check to make sure the chicken is cooked through since ovens vary).
• Place the pot on a wooden cutting board or something like that, not on any cold surface or it could crack, replace the lid and let rest for about 10 more minutes before serving.

CLAY POT SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pre-soak 3-quart clay pot.
• Combine the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, five spice powder, broth, soy sauce, sake, vinegar, sesame oil, hot pepper flakes, and pepper in medium size bowl. Mix well.
• Arrange the chicken breasts in one layer in the soaked 3-quart clay pot. Pour the peanut mixture over the chicken, turning to coat well. Cover the pot and place it in a cold oven. Set the oven temperature to 450°F and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and garnish with the scallions.

CLAY POT HUNGARIAN CHICKEN PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Soak your clay cooker per its manufacturer's instructions; in my case, I soak the lid of my Glazed Schlemmertopf for 10 minutes before use.
• Place bacon, onions and green pepper into the clay pot.
• Salt and pepper the chicken pieces, sprinkle with paprika, then add to the pot along with the potatoes.
• Cover and bake at 425° for 1 hour 20 minutes (my clay pot requires going into a non-preheated cold oven before setting the oven temperature).
• Remove clay pot from oven; if adding sour cream, whisk it in at this time (I usually remove everything first then add it back in). Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Serve with crusty French bread.

CHICKEN CLAY POT

Steps:

• Place the chicken cubes in a large bowl and add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cover and place in refrigerator. Combine the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, water, white vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl and set aside.
• Heat a 4-quart saucepot or clay pot over low heat. Add brown candy pieces or brown sugar and melt slowly over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid sticking and burning. When sugar comes to a slow boil, carefully add fish sauce. Add the soy sauce mixture, Thai chile, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken to the liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 8 minutes.
