BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARAMELIZED FENNEL



Braised Chicken Thighs With Caramelized Fennel image

To play up the licorice flavor, I add a pinch of fennel seed and a drizzle of Pernod. The vegetables serve as a bed for seared chicken thighs, ideal for absorbing the herbal aromatics.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large fennel bulbs
1 large clove garlic, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Pernod
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Trim fennel bulbs, and set aside fronds. In a blender or food processor, pulse about 1/2 cup fronds, garlic, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt until finely chopped. Add 1/3 cup oil and purée.
  • Halve fennel bulbs lengthwise. Slice thinly with a mandoline or very sharp knife.
  • Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown chicken until skin is crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, leaving drippings in pan.
  • Stir fennel seeds into skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Add sliced fennel and onion, seasoning with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook, tossing occasionally, until vegetables are caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes. Add Pernod and scrape up any browned bits in the bottom of the skillet; cook until liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Lay chicken on top of the fennel-onion mixture. Pour 3 tablespoons water into the pan. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until chicken is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and cook off any excess liquid if necessary. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Serve chicken and vegetables topped with generous dollops of the fennel frond purée.

EMERIL'S BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS



Emeril's Braised Chicken Thighs image

"When I'm preparing this dish, it's all I can do to wait until it's finished simmering to get a taste of the awesome gravy. You've simply gotta cook some rice to eat with this, no doubt about it." Recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, "Emeril 20-40-60 Fresh Food Fast".

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), trimmed of any excess skin or fat
1 tablespoon Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 sprigs fresh thyme, tied in a bundle, or 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken stock or canned, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the chicken all over with the Essence and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Place the 1/2 cup flour in a small bowl, and quickly dredge both sides of each thigh in the flour, shaking to remove any excess. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch flameproof casserole or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, and when it has melted, place the chicken, skin side down, in the pan. Brown for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan, and when it has melted, add the onions, garlic, thyme bundle or rosemary sprigs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon then whisk in the chicken stock and increase the heat to high. Return the chicken, skin side down, to the pan, and bring the stock to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a heavy, tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Uncover the pan, stir the bottom of the pan to prevent scorching, and turn the chicken skin side up. Cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes longer.
  • Stir the bottom of the pan a final time, re-cover, and simmer for 20 more minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and discard the herb bundle or rosemary sprigs. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Add the parsley to the sauce, stir to combine, and then spoon the sauce over the chicken. Serve with steamed white rice.

BRAISED CHICKEN LEGS WITH GRAPES AND FENNEL



Braised Chicken Legs With Grapes and Fennel image

Think of the grapes in this braised chicken recipe like a rustic way to braise chicken in wine. Here you get all the flavor-while saving your wine for drinking.

Provided by Christian Reynoso

Categories     Chicken     Fennel     Grape     Honey     Vinegar     Fall

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; about 3½ lb.), patted dry
4½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 medium fennel bulbs (about 1 lb.), plus ¼ cup coarsely chopped fronds
1 lb. Red Flame or green table grapes, stems removed (about 2 cups)
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
¼ cup honey
4 tsp. Calabrian chile paste or chopped Calabrian chiles
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 375°F. Season chicken legs all over with 3 tsp. salt.
  • Swirl 1 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot to coat and heat over medium-high. Place 2 chicken legs, skin side down, in pot, making sure skin is in direct contact with pan. Cook, undisturbed, until dark golden, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until golden on other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with remaining 2 chicken legs; reserve pot.
  • Meanwhile, working one at a time, stand a bulb, root end down, on a cutting board and slice off a short end to create a flat surface. Turn cut side down and slice ½" thick, starting from the top end of bulb so the root end can hold the layers in place while you slice. Discard last ¼" (root end) of each bulb and pop out and discard tougher center from slices. Transfer fennel to a large bowl and add half of the grapes, ½ tsp. salt, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil; toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and combine broth, honey, chile paste, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in reserved pot. Stir to combine and dissolve salt. Place remaining grapes in pot and arrange chicken legs, skin side up and overlapping if needed, over grapes. Top with dressed fennel and grapes. (Don't worry if it looks crowded: Fennel will soften as it cooks.)
  • Transfer pot, uncovered, to oven and roast until fennel is slightly softened, with some crispy, caramelized edges, grapes on top are swollen and browned in spots, and chicken is cooked through, 30-40 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer grapes and fennel to a bowl and chicken to a platter. Place pot over medium-high heat and bring braising liquid to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half (you should have about 1 cup liquid), 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and fennel fronds.
  • Spoon sauce over chicken and serve with fennel and grapes alongside.

2 tablespoons oil

1/2 cup water

  • Heat oil in dutch oven over medium-high heat on stovetop. Put salt and pepper on chicken thighs and place in dutch oven (skin side down first) cook until each side has nice color on it (about 4 minutes each side). Take chicken out and put on a plate. Put a tbsp more oil in dutch oven and turn down to medium heat. Put carrots, celery, onion and garlic in and cook for 8 minutes or until onions are almost translucent. Add Chicken Stock, tomatoes and water and stir until they come to a boil. Put Chicken back in the pot so it is submerged in juices.

Remove pot from oven and serve over pasta-tastes good with egg noodles (chicken should be falling off the bone).
