Barbecued chicken - How to make barbecued chicken


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Barbecued chicken Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Barbecued chicken.

For a complete family meal, the succulent chicken breasts are served with barbecued chicken and pumpkin.

Preparation Time 15 minutes
Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)

2 corn cobs with husks attached
60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
1 tbs fresh lemon juice
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 (about 200g each) single chicken breast fillets, trimmed
800g butternut or Jap pumpkin, peeled, deseeded
4 red onions

Method

Use a wire brush to scrub clean your barbecue plate and grill before using. Carefully peel back the husks from the corn cobs, leaving end attached. Remove and discard the silk. Pull the husks back up around the corn cobs to enclose and use unwaxed white string to secure. Place the corn cobs in a bowl or sink and cover with cold water. Soak for 15 minutes (this will help keep the corn moist during cooking and prevent the husks from burning).Meanwhile: preheat the barbecue grill and plate on high heat (this will take about 5-10 minutes for an electric or gas barbecue).

Place 2 tbs of the oil and the lemon juice in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Season with pepper. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and set aside until required.

Chicken breasts are quite lean and can dry out while cooking. The lemon juice and oil mixture will help to keep the chicken moist.

Cut the pumpkin into 1cm-thick wedges. It is important the pieces are of an even thickness to cook through evenly. Peel the onions, leaving the bases intact. Cut each onion lengthways into 2cm-wide wedges.

Toss the pumpkin pieces with 3 tsp of the remaining oil, season with salt and pepper. Toss the onions wedges with the remaining oil, and season with salt and pepper. Lightly coating the vegetables with oil prevents them from sticking to the barbecue plate during cooking.

Drain corn and place on preheated barbecue grill. Cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes. Reduce the barbecue plate heat to medium. Add the onions and cook, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the pumpkin to the barbecue plate in a single layer and cook for 5 minutes.

Reduce the barbecue grill heat to medium. Use a pair of long barbecue tongs to handle the chicken, as sharper implements will pierce the skin, allowing juices to escape.

Drain the chicken and reserve the lemon mixture. Add the chicken to the barbecue grill and cook for 5 minutes.

Brush the chicken with the remaining lemon mixture and use the tongs to turn over the chicken and pumpkin. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a skewer at the thickest part. Cooking times vary depending on the type of barbecue and the intensity of the heat. So keep an eye on the vegetables and chicken, and remove them as they are cooked. Set aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm until everything else is finished cooking.

Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover loosely with foil and set aside for 5 minutes to rest. This allows time for the chicken to finish cooking and the juices to settle, keeping the chicken tender and moist. Transfer the vegetables to a large plate.

Remove the husks from the corn cobs and cut each cob in half crossways. Serve the barbecued chicken with the vegetables.

When finished, increase the heat on the plate and grill to high. Leave the barbecue on for about 3 minutes to burn off any fat. Turn off the heat and use a metal spatula, scraper or brush to scrape away any food residue from the cooking surfaces. Once the barbecue cools, use paper towel to wipe the plate and grill with a little vegetable oil before storing.

Chicken tikka masala - How to make Chicken tikka masala


The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Chicken tikka masala Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Chicken tikka masala.

This takeaway favourite is freezer-friendly and quick to reheat, giving you the chance to get ahead and save money

Easy
Serves 10
Prep 15 mins
Cook 50 mins
Freezable

Ingredients

4 tbsp vegetable oil
25g butter
4 onions , roughly chopped
6 tbsp chicken tikka masala paste (use shop-bought or make your own - see recipe, below)
2 red peppers , deseeded and cut into chunks
8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , cut into 2.5cm cubes
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
4 tbsp tomato purée
2-3 tbsp mango chutney
150ml double cream
150ml natural yogurt
chopped coriander leaves, to serve

Method

Heat the oil and butter in a large, lidded casserole on the hob, then add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 mins until soft and golden. Add the paste and peppers, then cook for 5 mins more to cook out the rawness of the spices.

Add the chicken and stir well to coat in the paste. Cook for 2 mins, then tip in the tomatoes, purée and 200ml water. Cover with a lid and gently simmer for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the lid, stir through the mango chutney, cream and yogurt, then gently warm through. Season, then set aside whatever you want to freeze (see tips, below). Scatter the rest with coriander leaves and serve with basmati rice and naan bread.

Try

Freezing tips

To safely freeze, cool the curry as quickly as possible, then freeze as soon as it's completely cooled. Divide into freezer-proof containers, or use takeaway containers. To avoid freezer burn, make sure all chicken pieces are well covered with sauce. This curry will freeze well for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge. Once thoroughly defrosted, reheat gently to prevent yogurt from splitting. Make sure it's piping hot all the way through before serving.

Making your own curry paste

In a small food processor, whizz together 5 garlic cloves, 1 large knob of fresh root ginger, roughly chopped, 1 red chilli, deseeded and roughly chopped, 2 tsp each ground cumin and coriander, 1 tsp each turmeric, paprika and garam masala, and the seeds from 4 cardamom pods. Add a little water or vegetable oil to bring the paste together. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.

Here, the burgers are made to carry the flavor of a traditional French sausage. The burgers are then topped with cheese, caramelized onions with olive and anchovy - the topping of my favorite tart. Ooo-la-la!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
2 large onions, very thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup pitted chopped black olives, nicoise or kalamata,
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
2 pounds ground chicken
1 tablespoon dried herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 crusty rolls, split and lightly toasted
4 red or green lettuce leaves
Potato chips, for serving

Directions

Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions to the pan, season with salt and pepper and cook 20 minutes to caramelize then stir in olives and anchovy paste and cook 2 minutes more. Remove from stove.

While the onions cook, combine chicken with herbes de Provence, fennel seed, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Form 4 patties and cook 6 minutes on each side. Melt the Swiss cheese on each burger the last 2 minutes of cook time. Loosely tent the burgers under foil to melt the cheese. Serve the burgers on buns topped with lettuce and caramelized onion topping. Serve with potato chips alongside.

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Pan-fried chicken in mushroom sauce Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Pan-fried chicken in mushroom sauce.

Moderately easy
Serves 6
READY IN 1½ - 1¾ HRS
Freezable

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil
6 large, free-range chicken legs , halved at the joint so you have 6 thighs and 6 drumsticks
700ml/1¼ pts chicken stock (or water)
50g butter
1 onion , finely diced
400g mixed wild mushrooms
300ml/½ pt dry white wine
284ml pot double cream

Method

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the thighs for 8-10 mins, skin side only, until golden brown, then transfer to a casserole dish. Fry the drumsticks for about 5 mins each side and add them to the thighs.

Pour the stock over the chicken legs in the casserole. There should be enough stock to just cover the chicken, if not add a little water. Bring stock to the boil and cover, leaving lid slightly ajar. Cook at just below simmering point for 30-35 mins until chicken is cooked.

While chicken is simmering, drain oil from the pan. Heat the butter in pan and add onion. Sweat onion for 5 mins until soft, but not coloured. Turn up the heat, add the mushrooms, then fry for 3 mins until they soften and start to smell wonderful. Pour over the white wine, raise the heat to maximum and boil rapidly for 6-8 mins until reduced by two-thirds. Turn off the heat and leave until chicken has cooked.

Once chicken legs are cooked, strain stock into pan with the onion, mushrooms and white wine, bring back to the boil and reduce again by two-thirds until it is thick and syrupy. Pour in double cream, bring it to the boil, season if you want, then pour it over chicken. Heat chicken through in the sauce for 2-3 mins then turn off the heat and leave for a few mins before serving. This is such an aromatic and beautiful looking dish you should serve it straight from the casserole with the lid on.

Easy
Serves 4
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins


Ingredients

125g ball mozzarella , torn into small pieces
50g strong cheddar , grated
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
4 skinless boneless chicken breast fillets
8 smoked streaky bacon rashers

Method

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the cheeses and mustard together. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast, then stuff with the mustard mixture. Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon rashers - not too tightly, but enough to hold the chicken together. Season, place on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 mins.

Try

Tip

If you want to use less bacon, stretch out four rashers using the back of a knife to make each one longer and thinner. Wrap just one around each chicken breast as before.

Make it veggie

Cheesy baked mushrooms: Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Mix the mozzarella and cheddar with 1 tbsp pesto, then spoon into the hollows of 4 portobello mushrooms. Place on a baking tray and roast for 15 mins or until the mushrooms are softened and the cheese is bubbling.

Panko breadcrumbs

Used across most of Asia, 'panko' literally means 'breadcrumbs' in Japanese. You'll find two varieties - white panko, from crustless bread and tan panko, made from the whole loaf. Unlike their western counterpart, panko breadcrumbs don't easily absorb oil, so you are left with a lighter, less greasy end product. Panko breadcrumbs can be used to add crunch to a gratin, macaroni cheese, homemade onion rings, chicken katsu, Scotch eggs or fishcakes.
