SPICY PECAN CRUSTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire cooling rack on top, then spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Chop the pecans so they have a consistency of coarse breadcrumbs, then set aside. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow dish, then whisk the eggs, hot sauce and 2 tablespoons Dijon in a second shallow dish. Mix the pecans, salt and pepper in a third shallow dish. Dip the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg mixture, then in the pecans. Place on the wire rack and bake until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar with the remaining tablespoon Dijon and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly add the olive oil and continue to whisk until emulsified. Pour the dressing over the kale in a large bowl and mix. Serve alongside the chicken.

BOURBON PECAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir together the pecans, bread crumbs, and 2 tablespoons of clarified butter. Spread the mixture out on a plate. Press the chicken breasts into the mixture to coat on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the pan, and fry on both sides until nicely browned and chicken meat is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, then remove from the burner, and whisk in the 3/4 cup of unsalted butter one piece at a time. Do not return to the heat.
• Arrange the chicken breasts on a large serving plate. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with green onion.

MANGO-PECAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mangos, lemon juice, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and mace. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low, cover, and allow to cook 5 minutes more.
• While the mango sauce is simmering, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook on both sides until nicely browned, and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side.
• To serve, place one or two pieces of chicken onto each serving plate. Spoon mango sauce over the top, and sprinkle with pecans.
