Honey Mint Roasted Chicken Recipes

HONEY MUSTARD ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix mustard, honey, vinegar, Sriracha, paprika, pepper, and salt in a very large bowl until combined.
• Place chicken, breast-side down, on a work surface. Starting at the tailbone, cut along either side of the backbone with scissors or a knife, cutting as close to the bone as possible. Discard the backbone and trim any excess fat or skin from the chicken.
• Find the cartilage where the wishbone comes together and forms a "v" and make 1 shallow cut with a knife through the cartilage. Press down on either side to flatten the chicken and expose the breastbone, making another cut in the cartilage if necessary. Run your fingers along the breastbone until the rest of the cartilage pulls away. Make a few shallow cuts into the legs, thighs, and wings to ensure even cooking.
• Transfer chicken into the bowl of marinade and toss until well coated. Marinate, breast-side down, in the refrigerator, 4 to 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt. Reserve marinade for basting.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven until chicken starts to darken in spots, 35 to 40 minutes.
• While the chicken is roasting, transfer excess marinade into a small saucepan. Add chicken stock to thin the sauce a bit and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• Baste chicken with sauce and continue to roast, basting again if desired, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the oven and brush any rendered fat and accumulated juices from the pan onto the chicken.
• Transfer chicken to a serving platter and garnish with green onions. Slice and serve, spooning any remaining sauce over top.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-MINT DRESSING WITH GREEN APPLE-PARSLEY SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• For the chicken:
• Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. Season both sides of chicken with salt, black pepper and cumin. Add chicken to hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
• In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey and mint.
• For the salad:
• Cook bacon in a large skillet or in the microwave until crisp. Break into small pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Add apples and parsley and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil and mustard. Add mixture to apples and toss to coat. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
• Serve 4 of the chicken breast halves with all of the dressing, couscous and salad. Reserve remaining chicken for pizza, if desired.

BOBBY FLAY'S PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Rinse the chicken well, then dry it with paper towel. Season the chicken aggressively with salt. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a small bowl, and rub the mixture all over the skin of the chicken breasts.
• Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan or skillet set over medium heat. When it is shimmering, put the breasts into the pan skin side down, and cook, unattended, until the skin is golden brown, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken breasts over, and place the pan in the oven. Roast until the chicken is golden brown all over and the meat cooked entirely through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken to a warmed platter, and allow to rest.
• Meanwhile, put the mint, parsley, garlic and serrano into a food processor, and pulse into a paste. Add the honey and mustard, and pulse again, until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture has become emulsified. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and if necessary, whisk in a few tablespoons of water to thin the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon some of the sauce over each chicken breast, and serve, with the remaining sauce on the side. Roasted potatoes with some thinly sliced lemons makes a fine accompaniment, along with sautéed greens.

GRILLED HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN WITH GREEN PEA AND MINT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium. Whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Brush the breasts on both sides with oil, if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the breasts for 7 to 10 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with the honey glaze during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve on a bed of sauce or with sauce drizzled over.
• Place peas, vinegar, mint, cilantro, jalapeno, and salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and taste for seasoning.
• Add the honey and blend again. If the mixture if too thick, blend in a few tablespoons of cold water.
