• For the chicken: Heat the oil in a shallow claypot or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, chilies, ginger, ½ cup of caramel sauce, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper; bring to a boil. Continue cooking to reduce slightly, about 4-5 minutes, then add the chicken. Turn the heat down and simmer, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

ONION CLAY POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the claypot and lid in cold water. (If it´s the first time you´re using it, let both lid and bottom soak for 15 minutes in cold water.).
• Peel, rinse and cut the onions into quarters, the leek and spring onions into 4 pieces, and leave the peeled garlic cloves whole.
• Rub the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika powder.
• Put the chicken in the claypot breast side up, and surround with, leeks, onions and garlic cloves.
• Put the butter in small clicks over the chicken and veggies.
• Cover with the lid and put the pot on a rack far down in a cold oven.
• Turn on oven and bake at 225 degrees celsius for about 1 and 1/2 hours removing the lid for the last 15 minutes to brown. (Check to make sure the chicken is cooked through since ovens vary).
• Place the pot on a wooden cutting board or something like that, not on any cold surface or it could crack, replace the lid and let rest for about 10 more minutes before serving.

CLAY POT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the chicken all over with the oil, and loosely stuff the cavity with 3 onions, 1 garlic clove and 1 sprig of parsley. Set aside. On the bottom of a 3-quart terra-cotta jug or deep heavy casserole, spread half the prosciutto, 2 sprigs parsley, 4 onions, 1 garlic clove, 1 bay leaf and all of the giblets. Place the chicken head-first in the pot, or breast-side up in a casserole. Scatter the remaining onions, garlic, 3 sprigs parsley, prosciutto and bay leaf around and on top of the chicken. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, wine, Port, brandy, mustard, and pepper, and pour over the chicken. Cover the pot or casserole and bake for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Remove pot from the oven, and carefully remove the onions and reserve. Drain the liquid from the pot into a large skillet. Lift out the chicken and transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack.
• Use a slotted spoon to lift out the giblets from the pot, along with any remaining whole onions and add them to the reserved onions.
• Set the skillet of liquid over high heat, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until liquid is reduced by half, stirring often. Preheat a broiler. Place the chicken under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. To serve, cut the chicken into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the onions and giblets around the chicken, and spoon some of the warm sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley sprigs and pass extra sauce.

• Cover and place the clay pot into a cold oven.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.
