Luckys Chicken Roasted With Vermicelli And Garlic Food

LUCKY'S CHICKEN ROASTED WITH VERMICELLI AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Add one teaspoon of the salt to the cup of water and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the half-cup of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic to the warm oil and saute very gently until the garlic starts to brown. Watch carefully, because the minced garlic can quickly turn from "starting to brown" to burned - and the acrid taste and flavor of burned garlic is undesirable. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the salted water and cook over medium heat until almost all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Bring a pot of water large enough to contain the egg vermicelli to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta. Cook for just 30 seconds. Drain immediately and refresh the pasta under cold running water. Drain well and combine the pasta with the garlic mixture.
• Divide the vermicelli into six equal mounds in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate all the chicken halves. Brush the chicken halves with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a chicken half on top of each mound of vermicelli and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the edges of the vermicelli are browned and crispy. If vermicelli does not brown sufficiently on the edges, remove the excess chicken fat from the roasting pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler for one to three minutes to brown.
• With a slotted spatula, lift each chicken half with its vermicelli onto a heated serving dish. Serve immediately.

LUCKY'S QUICKIE CHICKIE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir basil, honey, and balsamic vinegar into chicken and cook for 1 more minute.

LUCKY'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together.
• 2. Rinse chicken and pat dry.
• 3. Dust each peice of chicken heavily with seasoned flour mixture.
• 4. Let floured chicken parts sit on a rack for approximately 15 to 20 minutes to allow coating to adhere.
• 5. Begin to fry chicken, being sure not to crowd the fryer at 315 degrees for 12 minutes, flipping at six minutes.

VERMICELLI WITH CHICKEN SKEWERS AND NUOC CHAM

Steps:

• Heat the broiler or light the grill. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, 2 cloves of garlic, and the oil. Add the chicken, toss, then thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Broil or grill the chicken until just done, about 2 minutes per side.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining fish juice, sugar, and garlic with the red pepper flakes, vinegar, lime juice, and water. Set this (nuoc cham!) aside.
• In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the vermicelli until just done, about 9 minutes. Add the bean sprouts during the last minute of cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
• Put the pasta and bean sprouts onto a platter and top with the cucumber, herbs, and chicken skewers. Pour the nuoc cham over all and sprinkle with peanuts.
