Oven Fried Chicken Chunks With Peanut Sauce Recipes

CRUNCHY CHICKEN CHUNKS WITH THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. In 2-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix cereal, Bisquick mix, paprika, salt and pepper until well blended. Shake about 6 chicken pieces at a time in bag until coated. Shake off any extra crumbs. Place chicken pieces in pan. Spray chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until coating is crisp and chicken is no longer pink in center.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, mix all sauce ingredients. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken. Serve chicken chunks with sauce.

CHICKEN LEGS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Rub the drumsticks with the garlic, season with salt and arrange far from one another on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F) and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix the cookies with 1/2 cup warm water; crush the cookies with the back of a spoon until they form a paste. Whisk in the peanut butter and soy sauce with an additional 1/4 cup warm water if needed. Stir in the lime juice, red wine vinegar, hot sauce, garlic powder, red pepper flakes and ginger. Taste for seasoning.
• Toss the chicken in the sauce and serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside. In a large skillet, saute the chicken, garlic and ginger in oil for 5 minutes. Add peanut butter mixture. Bring to a boil.

FRIED PEANUT-CRUSTED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the buttermilk marinade: Stir together the buttermilk, soy sauce, ginger and garlic powder in a bowl. Pound the chicken to an equal thickness (no thicker than 1 inch; this helps it cook evenly.) Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, and turn to coat. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Make the pickled carrot-cucumber salad: Stir together the sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the carrots, cucumbers, radishes and green onions, and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (The flavors will improve with standing time.)
• For the peanut-crusted chicken: Pour enough oil into a Dutch oven to reach 3 inches up the sides. Heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir together the flour, garlic powder and ginger in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and peanuts in a third shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, then in the panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
• Fry the chicken in 2 batches, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to drain. Drizzle with the pepper jelly.
• To serve, spread the peanut sauce on the buns. Place a piece of chicken on each bun bottom. Top with the pickled carrot-cucumber salad, cilantro and bun tops. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
• Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
• In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.
