Cast Iron Sriracha Chicken Thighs With Vegetables Recipes

CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat chicken dry. Combine 1 tablespoon black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the chicken.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add peanut oil to the hot skillet and watch it carefully; when oil smokes, add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes each side. Transfer chicken to a plate; reserve drippings in the skillet.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Add remaining black pepper and salt. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Return skillet with drippings to medium-high heat. Add potatoes, carrots, onion, turnip, and garlic. Cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chicken on top of the vegetables, skin-side up. Coat with about a third of the sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Add wine to the skillet and coat chicken with another third of the sauce. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Coat chicken with remaining sauce before serving.

CAST-IRON SRIRACHA CHICKEN THIGHS WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Whisk honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic, and pepper for marinade together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning halfway through, for 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Melt butter in a large, cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes; this will melt out most of the fat underneath and leave a nice, crispy skin. Flip over and grill for 2 more minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Drain extra fat and oil from the skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Add onion and garlic to the melted butter and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Mix in green beans, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cook, mixing carefully, for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix Sriracha, brown sugar, honey, and jalapeno in a small bowl until smooth.
• Remove skillet from the heat. Return chicken to the skillet, skin-side up. Pour Sriracha mixture primarily onto the chicken, and a bit onto the vegetables.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast until potatoes are tender and chicken is completely cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Garnish with green onion and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin-side down in the skillet; cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until second side is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Drain excess grease if desired.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and red bell pepper; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Place chicken thighs on top.
• Mix sriracha sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl; pour evenly over chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and potatoes are browned, about 30 minutes.
