Michael Symons Roasted Chicken With Cumin And Orange Recipes

MICHAEL SYMON'S ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CUMIN AND ORANGE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Season the chicken breasts with plenty of salt and pepper on both sides then place them in a gallon sized re-sealable bag. 2. Whisk together the Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt, cumin, smoked paprika, orange zest and juice and garlic. Pour this mixture in to the bag with the chicken, seal and make sure all of the chicken gets coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 3. 3. Remove your chicken from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking to take the chill off of it. 4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, wiping off any excess and preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Discard the marinade. 5. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil along with the chicken, skin side down. 6. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the skin is golden brown then flip the chicken and place the whole pan in the oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the chicken has finished cooking through. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. 7. Slice and serve with Creamless Corn (can remove skin from chicken before eating). Yield: 4 servings

SESAME ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sesame seeds, tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste if using. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the indirect heat side of the grill, skin-side up. Close the grill and cook until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Flip and move to the direct heat side of the grill to char on the other side. Cook until the skin is charred and crispy and the chicken is cooked through; the internal temperature should be 160 degrees F, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with the parsley before serving.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CUMIN, HONEY & ORANGE (MARK BITTMAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a nonstick roasting pan, or line a roasting pan with a double layer of aluminum foil. Combine orange juice, honey, cumin, salt and pepper in bowl, and whisk until smooth. Place chicken in pan, and spoon all but 1/4 cup of liquid over all of it.
• Place chicken in oven, legs first, and roast for 10 minutes. Spoon accumulated juices back over chicken, reverse pan back to front, and return to oven. Repeat four times, basting every 10 minutes and switching pan position each time. If chicken browns too quickly, lower heat a bit. If juices dry up, use reserved liquid and 1 or 2 tablespoons of water or orange juice.
• After 50 minutes of roasting, insert an instant-read thermometer into a thigh; when it reads 155 to 165 degrees, remove chicken from oven, and baste one final time. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

SESAME-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• For the sesame-roasted chicken: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sesame oil, lime and orange juice, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds and the hot sauce if using in a large bowl. Reserve half of the sauce in a small bowl, then toss the chicken with the remaining sauce. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and roast about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the broccoli rabe in a medium bowl with the olive oil, remaining tablespoon sesame seeds and some salt and pepper. After the chicken has roasted for 35 minutes, add the broccoli rabe to the baking sheet with the chicken. Continue to roast until the chicken is cooked through and the thickest part of a thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes more.
• For the bean puree: While the chicken is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 minute over low heat. Add the stock and beans, turn the heat to high and bring to simmer; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash or puree until smooth.
• To serve, spread the bean puree on a plate, top with the chicken and broccoli rabe and drizzle with the reserved sauce. Garnish with cilantro if you have it.

MOM'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

TUSCAN STYLE ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Place a large cast-iron pan on the direct-heat side of the grill to preheat.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Add a film of olive oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces, skin-side down. Allow the chicken to deeply brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and add the garlic. Briefly sauté until fragrant, then deglaze with the vermouth. Scatter in the tomatoes, olives and oregano bundle. Add the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Allow to cook until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 160 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter. Discard the oregano bundle. Top with the basil and serve.

PERFECT ROAST CHICKEN WITH POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place a heavy-bottomed pan in the oven (I prefer cast iron) and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the chicken with the lemon halves and season liberally with salt and pepper. Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil.
• Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven, arrange the chicken in it breast-side up and place the pan on the middle rack. Roast until the thickest part of the chicken measures 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before carving.
• For the potato cakes: While the chicken is cooking, thoroughly mix together the sweet potatoes, eggs, onion, Old Bay and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
• While the chicken is resting, place the pan it was cooked in over medium-high heat with the rendered chicken fat. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, cook the patties, flattening them slightly with a spatula, until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• Serve the sweet potato cakes with the chicken and some lemon wedges on the side.
