Half N Hour Hellfire Chicken Recipes

ROASTED HALVED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB PASTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Garlic-Herb Paste: Combine the rosemary, lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, cayenne, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, in a small bowl. Stir to incorporate.
• Rub chicken with Garlic-Herb Paste. Let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Coat a large cast iron skillet lightly with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Oil the bottom of a second cast iron skillet, of equal or smaller size.
• Put the chicken, skin side down, in first pan, and top it with the second pan, oiled-side down on top of the chicken. If you don't have a second cast iron skillet, use a regular pan and weigh it down with 2 heavy cans. Sear chicken until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove top skillet, flip the chicken and transfer to the oven. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

OUTSTANDING CHICKEN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Remove from the skillet, and set aside.
• Place the chicken into the skillet, and pour the broth over it. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Reserve 1/2 cup of broth from the pan, and discard or save remaining broth for other uses. Remove the chicken to a 9x13 inch baking dish, and top with artichokes.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat, and whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in the 1/2 cup of reserved broth, and half and half cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and stir in the Parmesan cheese, rosemary, salt and pepper. Pour sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Place sauteed mushrooms on the top.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Let stand for a few minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken.

HALF-N-HOUR HELLFIRE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Note: Regular chicken can be substituted for more flavor impact!
• Preheat large saucepan on top of stove.
• Chop onions into one inch bite size pieces.
• Add 2 tablespoons margarine or cooking oil.
• Add the pepper flakes to release the heat into the margarine or oil.
• After about two minutes, making sure the pepper flakes do not burn, add onions and saute until the onions are either translucent or lightly browned.
• Add chicken breasts and cook with lid on saucepan for 20 minutes.
• Note: Remember to keep on medium heat and check periodically to make sure the hot sauce doesn't evaporate or burn.
• If you need to add more hot sauce that is fine. Or if you would rather substitute water instead of more hot sauce that is fine also.
