Hot Sauce Roast Chicken With Tangy Kale Salad Food

HOT SAUCE ROAST CHICKEN WITH TANGY KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Cut 5 tablespoons butter into thin slices, reserving the remaining 3 tablespoons. Season the cavity of the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Working with your fingers, carefully loosen the skin of the chicken by sliding your fingers between the skin and the meat. Slide the sliced butter between the skin and the breast and thigh meat, evenly distributing the pieces over the chicken. In a small bowl, toss the ground chipotle, cumin and onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken. Stuff the cavity with the lemon wedges.
• Tuck the wings behind the back of the chicken, crisscross the legs at the ankles and tie the legs together tightly using kitchen twine. Transfer the chicken, breast-side up, to the rack of a roasting pan and roast until the skin is crisp and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Lower the heat to 350 degrees and roast another 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter with the hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Set aside 2 tablespoons hot sauce mixture, for finishing the chicken. After the chicken has roasted for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, working in three or four batches, brush the baste all over the top and sides of the chicken every 10 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes more. Make sure to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the oven, brush with the reserved 2 tablespoons hot sauce mixture, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• While the chicken rests, prepare the cabbage and kale slaw: Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a small jar and shake to combine. Set aside. Toss the cabbage, kale and herbs in a large bowl with the vinaigrette; season to taste with salt and pepper. Carve the chicken, breaking it down to eight pieces or slicing as desired, transfer to a platter and drizzle with any juices from the roasting pan. Serve immediately with slaw.

CHICKEN KALE CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Add the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, garlic and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Pulse the processor or blend on low speed for several seconds. Scrape the sides and pulse again until everything is fairly smooth. With the food processor or blender running, drizzle in the olive oil in a small stream. Scrape the sides and mix again to thoroughly combine. Add the cheese and pulse to combine. Taste, adding salt and pepper if needed. Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours before using it on the salad.
• For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Put the bread cubes on a baking sheet. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat. Crush the garlic and add it to the oil, using a spoon to move the garlic around in the pan. After cooking 3 to 5 minutes, turn off the heat and remove the garlic from the pan.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the bread cubes and mix together until the bread is well coated. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake, shaking the baking sheet occasionally, until the cubes are lightly browned and crisp, 45 minutes to an hour. Let cool.
• For the salad: Put the kale in a bowl and add the sliced roasted chicken. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off large, thin slices of Parmesan over the leaves. Drizzle about half of the dressing over the top of the kale and toss gently to coat. Add the croutons and toss again. Add more dressing if needed. Shave more Parmesan over when serving.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with the thyme, oregano, paprika and some salt and pepper. Put the chicken on a foil-lined roasting pan and roast until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes.

KALE SALAD WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Toss the oil, kale, onion, lemon zest and juice together in a large bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, add the goat cheese and toss carefully so the goat cheese stays in clumps. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken, flipping once, until lightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into strips.
• Divide the salad among 4 plates and top with the chicken and almonds.
