Sweet Hot Mustard Chicken Thighs – Good to the Bone

I don’t make a lot of Indian food on this blog, but I do
borrow a lot of techniques inspired by that cuisine. Things like toasting
spices in fat for stews, marinating meat in yogurt, and slashing chicken down
to the bone, as I did with these sweet, hot mustard thighs.

I know it’s a bit controversial, since some say you lose
moisture, but any technique that’s been practiced for a thousands years is okay
by me. I think it helps permeate the chicken with the sweet, hot mustard
marinade, as well as gives the final product some fairly cool “racing stripes.”

As I mention, if you insist on using boneless-skinless
thighs, this will still work, but it is really is a recipe where the bone is
key. You may have heard the expression, “the closer the bone, the sweeter the
meat,” and it’s so true. There are many ingredients you can substitute for, but
bones aren’t really one of them.

Imagine a chef boning out a rack of ribs before barbecuing
them, so that they’re easier to eat? …actually, don’t imagine that, but I think
you get the point. Anyway, I hope you try this very easy and delicious sweet,
hot mustard chicken thigh recipe soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

(consider all the spices “to taste” and adjust to your liking)

8-10 chicken thighs

1/2 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 tsp mustard powder

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground dry chipotle

cayenne to taste

1 onion sliced into rings

4 cloves minced garlic

vegetable oil for the pan and top of chicken

Chicken Thigh Piccata

by Pam on January 9, 2014

I usually use this recipe for Chicken Piccata^[1] but this time I wanted to try making it by using chicken thighs and Italian seasoned panko. I kept it healthy by using an egg white wash and just a little bit of olive oil when cooking. The thighs were moist and tender on the inside and crisp and lemony on the outside. We all gobbled this chicken right up. It paired nicely with the lemon and basil noodles (to post soon) and a green salad. It was a healthy and delicious meal that we all enjoyed.

Place the egg white in a bowl; whisk. Place the Italisan seasoned panko crumbs on a plate. Remove any excess fat from the chicken thighs.

Heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is HOT, dip the chicken into the egg white then place on the panko crumbs; flip to coat evenly. Place into the hot pan; repeat, cooking in batches if needed. Season the chicken in the pan with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 7-8 minutes or until crisp and golden brown; flip the chicken over. Add the other half of the olive oil into the pan then swirl to coat the bottom of the pan and the chicken. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate with a loosely placed tin foil tent.

Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan then add the minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest, and capers then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Cook to a boil for a few minutes to reduce. Add the parsley to the sauce then place the chicken and it’s juices back into the pan. Reheat the chicken for a few minutes then serve with sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy.

Asian-Glazed Chicken Thighs

by Pam on February 21, 2013

I found this Cooking Light recipe on Myrecipes^[1] and thought it would pair nicely with my husband’s favorite Asian Noodle Salad^[2]. I halved the recipe and reduced the sriracha (for the kids) but other than that made it as written. It was simple to make, smelled amazing while it baked, and tasted even better. We all loved it and I know I will be making it again someday soon.

Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic together in a large zip lock bag. Seal and mix well until thoroughly combined. Add the trimmed chicken thighs to the marinade; seal and place into the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, turning occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Coat the wire rack with cooking spray.

Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving marinade.

Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes or until syrupy, stirring occasionally. Place the chicken thighs on top of the wire rack. Season with sea salt, to taste.

Place into the oven and back for 10 minutes; baste with the cooked down marinade. Bake an additional 5-10 minutes; baste. Discard remaining marinade. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until done. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
