The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Balsamic Chicken Drumettes Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Balsamic Chicken Drumettes.

Total Time: 2 hr 45 min
Prep 10 min
Inactive 2 hr 0 min
Cook 35 min

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

    1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    5 sprigs of rosemary
    5 garlic cloves, halved
    10 to 12 chicken drumsticks
    2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
    1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Combine the balsamic, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, rosemary sprigs, and garlic cloves, in a large, re-sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and the brown sugar. Add the chicken drumsticks to the bag and seal with as little air as possible in the bag. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Place the chicken drumsticks on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil (in order to kill bacteria). Reduce the heat to simmer and cook over low heat until thick, about 15 minutes. Reserve.

Use a pastry brush to brush some of the cooked marinade on the cooked chicken. Place the chicken on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and the chopped parsley.

Cook's note: I like the rosemary and garlic flavors in the background. Brushing the cooked drumettes with the reduced marinade helps the flavors along. Also, re-moistening helps the parsley and the seeds to adhere.

Total Time: 1 hr 10 min
Prep 10 min
Cook 1 hr 0 min

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

5 to 6 bone-in, skinless* chicken drumsticks (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
4 to 5 bone-in, skinless* chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest
5 large eggs, beaten thoroughly
2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 medium red onion, halved lengthwise and sliced paper thin
1 pound grape, cherry, or sweet 100 tomatoes, halved (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

Heat the oven to 425F and arrange rack in the upper third. Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet; set aside.

Combine flour, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 3/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a shallow bowl, mix until well combined; set aside. Combine Panko, 1/3 cup of the parsley, 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and all the lemon zest in a separate shallow bowl, and toss until evenly combined; and set aside. Whisk together eggs and cheese in a shallow bowl until evenly combined; set aside.

To coat chicken, dredge a piece in the flour mixture and shake off excess. Then dip into egg mixture, let excess drip off, and finally roll in the breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere as necessary. Place chicken piece on baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.

Bake until coating is golden and crispy, juices of chicken run clear when poked, and internal temperature is 160degreesF, about 40 to 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, remaining 1/3 cup of the parsley, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, all the red onion, all the tomatoes, and the lemon juice in a non-reactive bowl and toss to combine. Serve chicken topped with a bit of the tomato mixture.

*If you can't find skinless, bone-in chicken, by it with skin on and pull it off. To get a better grip, grasp skin with a paper towel and pull!

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Pan-fried chicken in mushroom sauce Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Pan-fried chicken in mushroom sauce.

Moderately easy
Serves 6
READY IN 1½ - 1¾ HRS
Freezable

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil
6 large, free-range chicken legs , halved at the joint so you have 6 thighs and 6 drumsticks
700ml/1¼ pts chicken stock (or water)
50g butter
1 onion , finely diced
400g mixed wild mushrooms
300ml/½ pt dry white wine
284ml pot double cream

Method

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the thighs for 8-10 mins, skin side only, until golden brown, then transfer to a casserole dish. Fry the drumsticks for about 5 mins each side and add them to the thighs.

Pour the stock over the chicken legs in the casserole. There should be enough stock to just cover the chicken, if not add a little water. Bring stock to the boil and cover, leaving lid slightly ajar. Cook at just below simmering point for 30-35 mins until chicken is cooked.

While chicken is simmering, drain oil from the pan. Heat the butter in pan and add onion. Sweat onion for 5 mins until soft, but not coloured. Turn up the heat, add the mushrooms, then fry for 3 mins until they soften and start to smell wonderful. Pour over the white wine, raise the heat to maximum and boil rapidly for 6-8 mins until reduced by two-thirds. Turn off the heat and leave until chicken has cooked.

Once chicken legs are cooked, strain stock into pan with the onion, mushrooms and white wine, bring back to the boil and reduce again by two-thirds until it is thick and syrupy. Pour in double cream, bring it to the boil, season if you want, then pour it over chicken. Heat chicken through in the sauce for 2-3 mins then turn off the heat and leave for a few mins before serving. This is such an aromatic and beautiful looking dish you should serve it straight from the casserole with the lid on.

The Chicken Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious chicken recipes) invites you to try Maple-Mustard Baked Chicken Recipe. Enjoy our collection of quick & easy recipes and learn how to make Maple-Mustard Baked Chicken.

Enjoy this crunchy chicken at home for a family supper or take it along on a picnic to eat cold—no forks and knives required! For best flavor, shop for locally raised natural chicken and grade B maple syrup.

Serves 8 | Prep Time 30 min. | Total Time 105 min.

Ingredients

3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
2 tablespoon peanut or canola oil, divided
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
4-41/ pounds bone-in chicken pieces, (thighs, drumsticks and/or breasts), skin removed, trimmed (see Tip)
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Tip)

Directions

Whisk mustard, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, thyme, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours.

Preheat oven to 400°F. Set a wire rack on a large baking sheet.

Combine breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on a plate. Dredge the skinned side of each chicken piece in the breadcrumbs (with drumsticks, dredge the meatier side) and arrange breaded-side up on the wire rack. Leave at least 1 inch between pieces.

Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165°F, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot or let cool, refrigerate and serve chilled.

Make ahead tip

Marinate the chicken for up to 6 hours. Refrigerate the baked chicken for up to 1 day.

Recipe tips

Tips: When using a combination of thighs, drumsticks and breasts, we recommend cutting each breast in half crosswise (before marinating) to make smaller pieces about the size of an average chicken thigh. And if you buy whole legs, be sure to separate the drumsticks and thighs. When all the pieces are about the same size, they’ll all cook at the same rate.

To make 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, trim the crusts from about 3 slices of whole-wheat bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
