Roast Chicken Legs with Lots of Garlic

BY ANDY BARAGHANI BON APPÉTIT OCTOBER 2018

For this roast chicken recipe, if you have the time, season the chicken with salt the night before and chill uncovered so the skin will dry out a bit. Doing this helps the chicken take on a nice golden finish.

YIELD: 4servings INGREDIENTS

4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; about 2 1/2 lb. total) Kosher salt
4 heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed

1 red chile (such as Fresno), quartered lengthwise, seeds removed if desired 3 bay leaves or 5 sprigs thyme
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Country-style bread, toasted (for serving)

PREPARATION

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place chicken in an 13x9" baking dish and season generously all over with salt. Add garlic, lemon, chile, bay leaves, and a few grinds of pepper. Pour in oil and toss everything to coat. Turn garlic heads cut side down so they are in contact with the baking dish (this will help them brown).

Roast chicken, rotating pan once, until meat is almost falling off the bone, 75-90 minutes. Let chicken cool in pan 10 minutes, then serve with bread.

Oven-Roasted Chicken Shawarma Recipe

By Tamar Adler

Ingredients

  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed and minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • A pinch ground cinnamon
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Prepare a marinade for the chicken. Combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon and red pepper flakes in a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Cover and store in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
  2. When ready to cook, heat oven to 425 degrees. Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to grease a rimmed sheet pan. Add the quartered onion to the chicken and marinade, and toss once to combine. Remove the chicken and onion from the marinade, and place on the pan, spreading everything evenly across it.
  3. Put the chicken in the oven and roast until it is browned, crisp at the edges and cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to rest 2 minutes, then slice into bits. (To make the chicken even more crisp, set a large pan over high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, then the sliced chicken, and sauté until everything curls tight in the heat.) Scatter the parsley over the top and serve with tomatoes, cucumbers, pita, white sauce, hot sauce, olives, fried eggplant, feta, rice -- really anything you desire.
  • Yield4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, plus 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, more for pot
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 3 cups sliced carrots (1/4-inch thick)
  • 1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • cup sliced dates
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted pistachio nuts, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Quarter the lemon lengthwise, removing any seeds. Thinly slice crosswise into small wedges and add to small pot of boiling, salted water. Blanch for 2 minutes and drain. Reserve slices.
  2. In a saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, orange juice, oil, mustard, honey, salt, bay leaf, red pepper flakes and black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool.
  3. Put chicken in a bowl and add honey mixture. Add carrots, onion, dates, thyme and blanched lemon slices. Turn mixture several times to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, but preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Transfer all ingredients, including marinade, to a sheet pan with a rim. Chicken should be skin side up. Roast until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes for breasts and 30 to 40 for legs and wings (remove the pieces as they are done cooking). When the chicken is done, give the carrot mixture in the pan a stir; if the pan looks dry add 2 to 3 tablespoons water. Continue roasting the carrots until they are tender, about 7 to 12 minutes longer.
  5. Spoon carrots over chicken and top with cilantro, scallions and pistachio nuts.

Circassian Chicken

Circassian Chicken
Çerkez Tavugu
Region: Turkey
Category: Fowl
Season: Any
Difficulty: Medium Difficulty

In the thirteenth-century Arabic cookbook Kitāb al-wusla ilā al-habīb there are three recipes for a dish called ma'mūniyya that has some resemblance to Circassian chicken. This is a dish made by Circassians, a people from northwest Caucasia who have communities in a couple of Russian republics and other communities in Turkey, Jordan, and Syria. They converted wholesale to Islam in the seventeenth century. This dish is also claimed by the Armenians. It is a rich and quite elegant preparation. There is a large Circassian community in Amman, Jordan where I first ate it and learned how to make it. The walnuts (Juglans regia) so prominent in this dish are native to southeastern Europe and China. One finds walnuts used in much Caucasian, Armenian, Kurdish, north Syrian, southeastern Turkish, and Persian cuisine.

Yield: Makes 6 servings
Preparation Time: 1:45 hours

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)

For the broth

1 medium onion, cut up

1 leek, white and green parts, split lengthwise, washed well and chopped

1 large carrot, sliced into rounds

6 whole cloves

6 allspice berries

10 black peppercorns

5 bay leaves

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

For the walnut sauce

6 ounces walnuts, chopped

6 large garlic cloves, crushed in a mortar

1/4 pound white part of French or Italian bread

1/2 cup whole milk

1 small bunch coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped

1 tablespoon walnut oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the garnish

1 tablespoon walnut oil

2 teaspoons sweet paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 cup chopped walnut meats

About 20 fresh coriander leaves

1. Put the chicken in a large stockpot with the broth ingredients and enough water to almost cover the chicken. Bring the water to a very gentle bubble over high heat, reduce the heat before the broth reaches a boil so the water is only shimmering, cover partially, and poach until the chicken legs and wings look like they could fall off, about 1 hour. It is important that the broth never come to a hard boil, otherwise the chicken meat will become tough. Remove the chicken from the pot and pull off all the meat from the chicken, discarding all the skin, fat, and bones. Shred the meat into thin strips by pulling it apart with a fork. Meanwhile, increase the heat to high under the broth and reduce for 20 minutes. Check the seasoning of the broth and strain.

2. In a food processor or blender, grind the walnuts and garlic together into a paste. Soak the bread in the milk, then squeeze the liquid out in your hands as if you were making a snowball. Add the bread to the food processor and run until homogenous, scraping down the sides when necessary. Transfer the walnut mixture to a large bowl with the coriander leaf and dilute it with spoonfuls of broth until it has a mayonnaise consistency, using about 1 1/2 cups of broth in all. Add the chicken, mix well, add the cilantro, and bind together with a few more tablespoons of the broth and as many teaspoons of walnut oil as necessary until the entire mixture has a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

3. For the garnish, combine 1 tablespoon walnut oil with the paprika and cayenne and stir. Transfer the chicken to an oval serving platter and decorate the top with the chopped walnuts and the perimeter of the platter with coriander leaves; drizzle the top with the walnut oil mixture. Serve at room temperature with warm French bread or Arab flatbread.
