Spicy Tomato Chicken Recipes

SIMPLE SPICY CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Heat a few lugs of the olive oil in a large pan on a med-high heat then add the onions, garlic, peppers and chilli powder. Fry for about 5 minutes, or until onions are softened and pale (not golden).
• Add the chicken, with a pinch of salt and pepper, to the pan and cook until all the chicken is sealed, but not browning.
• Keep on the heat and add the tomatoes, worcestershire sauce, juice of 1/2 a lemon, the chilli flakes and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Give a good stir and turn the heat up high. Let the sauce reach a boil and then reduce the heat to a med-low setting. Cover the pot and allow to simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• With about 15 minutes left to cook, put on some pasta . I recommend a tagliatelle, fusilli, conchiglie or penne.
• Once the sauce has been on for a good 45 minutes and has reduced slightly, remove from the heat and add the cheese. Stir to make sure it has melted through the sauce. Then drain off the pasta and add the the pot with the sauce, give a good stir to mix the pasta. Serve in a bowl, or high-edged plate, with some garlic bread on the side.

CHICKEN IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash chicken pieces drain and pat dry with paper towels. Rub all over with ground turmeric and salt until evenly coated. Set aside.
• To use lemongrass: Cut the bottom root portion off the base. Slice the bottom one-third (3-inch) section only, discard the rest. Slice at an angle,and as thinly as possible.
• Roughly chop up red chilli peppers and bird's eye chillies (or substitute bird's eye chillies with 1 tbsp chilli powder). Peel and roughly chop shallots, garlic and ginger.
• In a food processor, blend the spice ingredients until you get the paste as smooth and fine-textured as possible. Add 1 to 2 tbsps oil or water (use more or less as needed) to help the blades cut into the mix. Set aside.
• Separately, prepare the cinnamon bark, star anise, cloves and cardamom pods.
• Fill a wok or deep skillet one-quarter full with oil and heat up over medium heat until hot. Fry the chicken pieces in batches, 5 to 6 pieces at a time. Par-fry for 2 minutes, until the pieces are lightly browned and half-cooked. Set aside.
• In the same wok, drain most of the oil, leaving behind 4 tbsps. With the oil still hot, and the heat reduced to low, put in the cinnamon bark, star anise, cloves and cardamom pods. Fry for 15 to 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
• Pour in the blended spice paste, sugar, salt, and stir frequently to prevent the paste from burning. If it gets too dry, add an additional 1 to 2 tbsp of oil. Once the paste starts to stick or clump together, has an oily sheen, and oil froths or bubbles around the edges, it is ready for the next step.
• Stir in the tomato puree, coconut milk, ketchup, and water. Increase the heat and bring the sauce to a gentle oil. The reduce the heat slightly, to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer. Let the sauce reduce by almost half. Caution: This sauce can spit and spurt quite vigorously, so have an apron on and be careful when you give it the occasional stir.)
• Put in the chicken pieces, including the oils and drippings, and stir to evenly coat all over with the sauce. Let the chicken braise gently. Continue to let sauce reduce until 'pecah minyak', that is, the oil splits. This is when oil begins to separate from the sauce, forming beads or pools on the surface (read notes below). The end consistency of the sauce should be thick and pasty.
• Stir in the peas, palm sugar (or light brown sugar) and salt, and cook for a few more minutes till just softened. Do a taste test and add more sugar or salt, to taste. Turn off the heat. Dish out immediately into a serving dish, and garnish lavishly with chopped cilantro or parsley.

FALL ESSENTIALS: SPICY CHICKEN W/ TOMATOES & RICE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need an ovenproof skillet with a lid to make this recipe. Conversely, you could use a glass baking dish covered with foil.
• To Brine or Not to Brine Brining the chicken thighs is optional; however, in this recipe I think it worked out for the better. If you have the time, fill a bowl with cold water, and dissolve a few tablespoons of kosher salt. Add the thighs and stick it in the fridge for 2 - 3 hours. Then remove, give them a quick rinse, and follow the recipe as written.
• The Chicken I suspect that just about any type of chicken would work in this recipe, dark or light meat, bone-in or out, skin-on or off.
• Homemade Worcestershire Looking for a good Worcestershire without anchovies? It is easy/peasy to make and tastes like the real thing. So yummy. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-worcestershire-sauce.html?r=1
• This will store in the fridge (covered) for 3 - 4 days. Just gently heat up in the oven, and you are ready to go.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Mix all the dry spices together in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle a generous amount of the spice mix onto the skin side of the chicken thighs and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
• Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350f (175c).
• While the chicken is taking a nap, melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat, until the foaming stops.
• When regular butter stops foaming, it means all the water has been removed through the process of evaporation. Eliminating all the water will help the skin on the chicken get nice and crispy.
• Increase the heat to medium high, wait a minute and then add the chicken, skin side down.
• When the chicken hits the hot butter, you should hear a nice sizzle, and it will stick to the bottom of the pan. Leave them alone. After the first 2 - 3 minutes, use a pair of tongs to try to gently lift the chicken. If it still sticks, wait another 30 or so seconds and try again. When the chicken has crisped, it will easily release without any sticking. The whole process should take somewhere between 3 - 5 minutes, depending on the heat of your pan.
• While the chicken is cooking, sprinkle more of the dry spice mix on the bottom side of the thighs.
• When they are ready, turn them over, and cook for an additional 3 - 4 minutes.
• Remove the chicken and turn the skillet down to medium low.
• Whisk the tomato paste and water together (if you are using the Worcestershire add now).
• Add it to the skillet, then use a whisk or wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits (fonds) on the bottom of the pan and dissolve them into the liquid.
• Add the diced tomatoes, stir, and bring up to a slow simmer.
• Nest the chicken into the sauce.
• Cover and place into the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, uncover, and bake an additional 20 minutes.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Add some of the yummy sauce to a plate, nest one of the chicken thighs on top, and serve with your favorite sides (I prefer steamed jasmine rice sprinkled with some of the dry spice mix). Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
