Airman Andersons Chicken Recipes

AIRMAN ANDERSON'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour oil in enough to fill the pot about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fryer thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees.
• Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch.
• Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on wire rack and let sit for 10 minutes. While chicken is resting, prepare sauce. In a large straight sided saute pan combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, butter, hot pepper flakes and worcestershire sauce.
• Stir; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the saute pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Remove to a serving platter and serve on rice.

SUNNY'S 5-STAR GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade/glaze: In a small pot on medium heat, whisk together the honey, miso, orange juice, a shake or two of chili flakes and plenty of coarse ground pepper. Cook, whisking, until everything is combined and the liquid reduces and thickens a bit to a glaze consistency, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the chicken: Pour half of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag; reserve the other half for glazing. Add the chicken parts to the bag with the marinade and seal. Rest the chicken at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill pan or half of a grill to medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and pat dry with paper towels. Place on the indirect heat of the grill, skin-side down, and cook, covered, until the chicken easily releases from the grill, about 15 minutes. Then flip and grill on the other side until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. In the last minute of grilling, brush each piece of chicken with a bit of the reserved glaze.
