CHEF JOHN'S NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Transfer chicken to a bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Whisk buttermilk, pickle brine, hot sauce, and egg together in a mixing bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and stir to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and let chicken marinate in refrigerator 2 to 4 hours.
• Mix flour and salt together in a shallow flat dish. Remove chicken from marinade and blot with paper towels. Reserve marinade. Toss chicken in flour until thoroughly coated. Return chicken to marinade, coating all sides; remove chicken from marinade allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Coat the chicken once again in flour mixture. Place on a rack. Repeat with all chicken pieces. Allow to sit out about 15 minutes to allow coating to dry out a bit.
• Place butter and lard in a large pot. Add cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Place over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until fats melt. Remove from heat; keep sauce warm.
• Fill cast iron skillet about 1/3 of the way with vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Carefully place chicken into hot oil, skin side down. Maintain an oil temperature of 325 degrees F, adjusting heat as need. Fry until instant read thermometer reads 160 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a rack to drain. Brush with the sauce on both sides.

FIERY ROAST CHICKEN WITH HOT SAUCE COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Set your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• For the hot sauce:.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add all the peppers, the garlic and shallots, and saute until softened and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup water and simmer an additional 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place the cooked mixture into a blender and add the vinegars and salt. Blend until completely smooth and pureed. Adjust the seasoning.
• For the compound butter:.
• In the bowl of a food processor, with the machine running, drop in the 5 whole garlic cloves, through the feed tube, one at a time. Scrape down the garlic with a spatula and add the butter, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth. Reserve one third of the mixture in a small bowl and set the rest aside to spread on your chicken.
• For the chicken:.
• Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin of the chicken away from the meat. Spread the compound butter under the skin as well as over the skin. Wash your hands and then sprinkle the chicken generously on both sides, using tongs to turn it over (just to prevent the mid-seasoning hand wash). Set the chicken aside for a moment.
• Set a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then the chicken neck, wing tips and the sausage, and brown everything, stirring occasionally to brown all over, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the smashed garlic cloves, stir for 1 minute. Add the potatoes and toss them in the drippings. Add the pepperoncini, the pepperoncini liquid and the chicken stock. Place the spatchcocked chicken breast-side down on top of the potatoes and sausages. Roast for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken over and continue to cook until the chicken registers 160 degrees F in the thigh, about 45 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan, smear the remaining compound butter on top of it and leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
• While the chicken rests, continue to roast the potatoes and what is left in the pan for 15 minutes more.
• Once the chicken is rested, cut it into 8 to 10 pieces, however you like. I love to serve it family style and pour all the potatoes and sausage out onto a platter and place the cut up chicken on top, making sure to pour over all the juices from the cutting board where you cut your chicken. Sprinkle chopped parsley all over and dig inches Serve with more hot sauce on the side, if desired.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a large skillet or roasting pan in the oven to preheat while you prepare the chicken.
• Begin by preparing a lemon butter. Place 4 tablespoons of the butter in a mixing bowl and add about 1 teaspoon of zest from the lemons. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
• Flatten the chicken by cutting out the backbone and flattening the breast by firmly pressing with the heel of your hand. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, loosely separate the skin from the breast and thighs. Smear the lemon butter evenly in the cavity between the skin and meat, ensuring it is worked evenly over the bird. With the skin side facing up, drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
• Remove the preheated pan from the oven and place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down.
• Place the lemon slices over the bird along with fennel, onions, garlic, thyme and oregano. As it cooks, this will flavor the bird.
• Place in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the chicken to skin-side up and add half the wine to the pan. Return to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the joint between the leg and thigh registers 165 degrees F, approximately 30 minutes longer. When the chicken is done, remove from the pan to a serving platter and allow to rest for 15 minutes before carving and plating.
• Meanwhile, make a pan sauce. Place the chicken pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining butter and wine. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Pour the pan sauce over the platter of chicken. Serve immediately.

ONE-POT SPICED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. If you're making the spice mix, combine all the ingredients and set aside. For the sauce, tip the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Heat the oil and ghee or butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the spiced onion purée with a pinch of salt for 12 mins. Add 2 tbsp of the spice mix, turn up the heat to high and cook for 1 min. Tip in the tomatoes, sugar and 250ml water. Bring to a simmer. Season well with salt and turn off the heat.
• To prepare the chicken, put the remaining spice mix in a bowl with 1 tsp sea salt and the ghee or butter, and mash together. Push two-thirds of the spiced butter beneath the skin of the chicken breasts, then rub the rest over the outside of the breasts and legs. Season the chicken skin with 1 tsp sea salt and tie the legs together. Sit the chicken in a 28-30cm pan, shallow casserole or roasting tin and pour the sauce around the bird. Cover the chicken with foil and roast for 40 mins, then remove the foil and roast for another 30-40 mins, or until cooked through (when you cut into one of the legs, the juices should run clear). Stir the double cream into the sauce. Taste for seasoning and leave to rest, uncovered, for 10 mins.
• Make the chutney by blitzing all the ingredients together in a food processor until coarse. Season to taste.
• Top the chicken with some extra sliced chillies and coriander leaves, then serve with the chutney, pilau rice and naan, if you like.

SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash together the butter, garlic, parsley, mixed herbs, thyme, rosemary, salt, herbes de Provence, lemon zest, white pepper and black pepper. Rub three-quarters of the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin. (Reserve the remaining herb butter for serving.) Place the chicken, breast-up, on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate it, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Roast chicken until it is just cooked through (the meat will no longer be pink and the juices will run clear; an instant read thermometer inserted into the thigh will read 165 degrees), 40 to 55 minutes. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving. Serve it topped with the reserved herb butter and lemon wedges.
