Spice Rubbed Chicken With Hominy Saute Recipes

SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH HOMINY SAUTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, combine paprika, chile powder, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet, and rub with spice mixture. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make hominy saute: In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add hominy and scallions; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes; cook until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle chicken with pan juices, if desired, and serve with hominy saute.

SUNNY'S EASY 1-2-3 SPICE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH CITRUS-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. With your hands, coat the chicken entirely with Sunny's 1-2-3 Spice Rub. Place in a plastic bag, press out the air, seal and refrigerate for at least 6 and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, place in one layer on a baking sheet or tray and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
• Rest the chicken at room temperature for 2 hours. This is an important step, so you begin cooking the chicken when it is at room temperature. This allows the chicken to cook evenly throughout.
• Preheat a grill or oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken over the indirect heat of the grill and close the lid. If using the oven, put the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil and place on the center oven rack. Cook for 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the juice, honey and chili flakes if using.
• Open the grill or remove the chicken from the oven and brush each piece liberally with the glaze. Quickly close the grill lid or return the chicken to the oven and cook until done and the chicken juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. Allow the chicken to rest, tented with aluminum foil, until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, pepper, chili powder and salt. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

SPICY CHICKEN AND HOMINY RAGOûT

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, hominy and chili powder and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, breaking up tomatoes with back of spoon, about 8 minutes. Mix in cilantro. Season ragout to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

SAUTEED CHICKEN WITH HOMINY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. Rinse it under cold water and pat dry. Heat the butter in a skillet and when it foams, quickly sauté the chicken pieces, turning them so that they cook on both sides but do not brown. This seizes the skin so it does not shrivel during cooking. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
• Put the hominy in a 2-quart casserole with a lid. Lay the chicken pieces on top and cover with an even layer of onion, sliced mushrooms, and carrot. Add the bay leaf and sprinkle the pepper and dried thyme over the vegetables. Add the wine and cover the casserole.
• Cook in a preheated 325°F degree oven for 45 minutes. About 5 minutes before the casserole is finished cooking, add the salt and parsley. Take it from the oven and remove the bay leaf. Taste and add the cream if you want it. I do not always add it.
