BUTTER HERB GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Heat your outdoor grill to about 300-350 degrees. Lay the butterflied chicken on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Combine in a bowl the melted butter, oil, lemon juice, seasoning mixture, garlic, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Take a pastry brush and coat the underside of the chicken. Flip the chicken and coat the top side. Place on the hot grill (underside down), close the lid, and let the chicken cook about 60 minutes. Check occasionally making sure it's not getting too charred. Flip the chicken to the top side and cook another hour. Increase heat to 400. Flip bird again and cook another 30-45 minutes. Repeat on the other side. Chicken will be done when the legs/wings start separating from the bone. Remove and cover with doubled foil and let let the bird rest about 30 minutes. Do it caveman style and dig in!

ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC-HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• The day before roasting, combine butter in a bowl with zest of one lemon (reserving the lemon), garlic, chives, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine. Dry the chicken with paper towels and place on a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Season chicken with salt and pepper, inside and out. Using your fingers, gently release the skin from the breast on either side of the breast bone. Place a heaping tablespoon of the compound butter under the skin on each side and smooth down to coat each breast. Do the same at the other end, where the thigh joins the open cavity. Distribute the remaining butter on each side under the leg skin. Place chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered, to allow the skin to dry.
• The next day, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Roughly chop the celery, onion, and carrot and place inside the chicken cavity, along with leftover herb stems and half the zested lemon. Cut the baguette to approximately the length of the chicken and place, open-faced, on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay the chicken on top of it. Pour water or chicken stock in the pan so the bread doesn't burn. Bake, 10-12 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, chicken will begin to brown. Add more water or stock to the pan if the bread looks too dark. Reduce oven temp to 400 F and continue cooking, 35-55 minutes, depending on chicken size. (Final internal temperature should be 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the thigh.)
• Test the chicken for doneness by sticking a knife into the thickest part of the thigh-the juices should run clear (i.e., not pink). When done, remove from oven and let the chicken rest 5 minutes before carving. To carve, first remove the wings. Next, cut the skin close to the leg, then cut from the back and follow the bone along the joint and remove the leg. Remove the breasts by cutting down the middle, following the bone (save the rest of the chicken carcass for stock). Cut the baguette into four pieces and serve with the cut chicken on top.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Garlic Butter:.
• Mash butter, garlic, pepper and lemon juice together in small bowl. Butter should be of uniform texture and slightly coarse. Don not over mix to completely smooth texture or it will take too long to firm up.
• Place softened butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form into log, using plastic to form casing. Place butter in freezer to firm up until just before serving the meal. Butter will firm up faster if you place it directly on the freezer shelf.
• At last minute, remove plastic wrap and slice log into 8 pieces.
• Chicken:.
• Coat chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper in bowl.
• Grill, broil or pan-grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• Top with 1 to 2 slices of garlic butter. Serve immediately.

BUTTERY GARLIC-HERB CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS & HERBED POTATOES

Steps:

• • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bring garlic herb butter to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces; toss on one side of a baking sheet with half the basil oil (all for 4), salt, and pepper. (For 4, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) • Peel garlic. Place whole cloves in the center of a small piece of foil. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Cinch into a packet and place on same sheet. • Roast on top rack until potatoes are browned and tender and garlic is softened, 20-25 minutes. (You'll add more to the sheet after 15 minutes.)
• • Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus.
• • Gather asparagus into four even bundles (eight bundles for 4 servings) on a clean work surface. Starting 1 inch from the bottom of the spears, roll up each bundle in a slice of prosciutto, so that the prosciutto covers as much length as possible. TIP: Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap to keep it tight around the asparagus. • Once potatoes have roasted 15 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully place wrapped asparagus on empty side. Roast until asparagus are tender and prosciutto is crispy on the bottom, 10 minutes. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes and garlic roasting; add asparagus to a second sheet and roast on middle rack.) • Remove sheet from oven; flip wrapped asparagus. Return to oven until crispy all over, 2-4 minutes more.
• • Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • In the last 2 minutes of cooking, reduce heat to low; add half the garlic herb butter to pan. Spoon over chicken until coated. Turn off heat; leaving butter in pan, transfer chicken to a cutting board.
• • While chicken rests, carefully transfer garlic to a cutting board and mash cloves with a fork until smooth. • Heat pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Stir in demi-glace and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings); simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in crème fraîche and garlic. (TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add water 1 tsp at a time until it reaches a drizzling consistency.) Season with salt and pepper.
• • Once potatoes are finished roasting, carefully add potatoes and remaining garlic herb butter to a large bowl. Toss until butter has melted and potatoes are evenly coated. • Divide chicken, wrapped asparagus, and potatoes between plates. Drizzle chicken with as much sauce as you like. Serve with any remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels, and pierce several times with a fork. Place chicken breasts into a large resealable plastic bag and pour in olive oil. Seal and shake bag to coat chicken with olive oil; add rosemary, thyme, oregano, garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bag, seal, and shake again to coat chicken with herbs.
• Grill chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C, about 10 minutes per side.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH HERBS

Steps:

• In a blender combine the parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Blend together. Place chicken in a nonporous glass dish or bowl and pour blended marinade over the chicken. Cover dish and refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 48 hours.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat OR set oven to broil.
• Remove chicken from dish (disposing of leftover marinade) and grill or broil for about 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
