Chicken Daddys Way Recipes

BIG DADDY'S DOWNTOWN ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the chipotles, adobo sauce, garlic, shallots, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, salt and pepper into a blender. Pulse the marinade until smooth and emulsified. Rub each chicken liberally with the marinade.
• Arrange the chickens on a half sheet pan with a rack. Roast until cooked through, about 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest for about 15 minutes. Carve 1 chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Serve. Reserve the remaining chickens for recipes that use roast chicken.

DAD'S ROAST CHICKEN -- MY WAY WITH A PARSLEY LEMON JUICE OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.
• Trim off any excess skin or fat from the chicken. Cut off and discard the wing tips. Place the chicken pieces in an 11 by 13-inch baking pan, or any pan that that they fit in without crowding. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, olive oil, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Toss through all the seasonings and then arrange the chicken piece skin side up in the pan. You can season the chicken pieces and set them up in the roaster up to a day before you cook them. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Roast until the skin is nicely browned and there is no pink near the thigh bone and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes. Check both white meat and dark meat. If the white meat is done before the dark meat, take it out and set it on the serving plate until the dark meat is done.
• For the parsley drizzle, wash and dry the parsley. Remove the leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and use immediately to garnish the roast chicken.

DADDY'S BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the lemon juice, Worcestershire and steak sauce in a small bowl. Place the chickens in a large baking dish and rub with the butter then pour the lemon mixture over. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Season the chickens liberally with salt and pepper and place on the grill, skin side down. Grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn over, close the cover and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Remove, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
