Honey Lemon Ginger Glazed Chicken Food

HONEY GLAZED LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Rub chicken thighs with sea salt and ground black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, white sugar and 1 cup water. Set aside.
• Combine corn starch and 1/3 cup water. Set aside.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over a little higher than medium heat. Pan-fry chicken thighs (skin side down first) without oil until both sides become golden brown, about 5-8 minutes each side.
• Transfer chicken thighs to a roasting rack. Bake for about 30 minutes or until center reaches 165°F.
• Return to skillet. Keep about 1 tablespoon oil and turn on heat over medium high. Stir in lemon juice mixture and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, stir in honey and corn starch mixture. Cook until thick.
• Turn off heat. Stir in cilantro or parsley. Pour over chicken thighs. Use sliced lemon for garnish.
• Serve immediately.

HONEY LEMON GINGER GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a little olive oil and saute the chicken until cooked through. Keeping the chicken pieces in a single layer and not overcrowding the pan is a great way to cook the chicken quickly and evenly. This should take about 5-7 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
• While the chicken is cooking, whisk together all other ingredients until well combined.
• Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, turn the heat to high, and whisk sauce while cooking until thickened. (The sauce should thicken to the consistency of cold maple syrup.)
• Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to combine and coat with the sauce. Keeping the heat high, and the chicken in a single layer - at least as much as possible - stir the chicken, cooking on all sides. The sauce will stick to the chicken and caramelize. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove from skillet to serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds, and freshly sliced Thai chilies. (Optional) Serve immediately.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish combine the flower and seasonings, plus salt and pepper to taste. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Dip each piece of chicken in flour mixture and coat evenly.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a shallow baking dish, large enough to accommodate chicken in a single layer. Arrange chicken in pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt remaining butter and add honey, lemon juice, soy sauce and ginger.
• After chicken has baked the 30 minutes, turn each piece over and pour sauce mixture evenly over chicken. Bake another 30 to 40 minutes basting frequently.
• Serve over rice. I usually double the sauce ingredients to make more to serve over the rice.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-CHILI GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the ginger, coconut milk, salt and pepper in a large zip-lock bag. Add lemon grass. Place the chicken thighs in the mixture and refrigerate overnight.
• Make the Honey-Chili Glaze: In a food processor, chop together the jalapeno and brown sugar. Scrape into a small saucepan. Add the venegar, salt, and honey and bring to a boil. Simmer over very low heat for about 2 minutes. Stir in the peanuts.
• Prepare a charcoal grill to medium heat or preheat the broiler.
• Drain the chicken and cook about 8-10 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the thighs and the heat. Grill until chicken is cooked through (careful not to over cook.).
• After chicken is done cooking, place on a platter and pout the Honey-Chili Glaze over the hot chicken. Coat all pieces well, then sprinkle with coconut, cilatro and the scallions. This can be served hot or cold! Enjoy.
