Sage Chicken In A Fried Potato Crust Recipes

SAGE CHICKEN IN A FRIED POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Cut each chicken breast half into three pieces, and each thigh into two pieces. In a bowl, combine chicken, sage, garlic and cumin. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick julienne, then crosswise into 1/8-inch dice. Rinse, then pat dry between cloth towels. Roll in towels to squeeze out moisture. In a medium bowl, combine potatoes with 4 tablespoons flour and beaten egg white. Set aside.
• Scrape garlic and sage from chicken pieces, and pat dry with paper towels. Season with pepper to taste and dust with remaining flour.
• Place a 10-inch square of plastic wrap on a work surface. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of potato in center of plastic. Dip a piece of chicken in beaten egg, and place in center of potato. Top with about 1 tablespoon potato, and wrap plastic securely so that potato covers chicken completely. Repeat with remaining chicken, egg and potatoes, to make a total of 15 packets. Place in freezer for one hour.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Preheat at least 4 inches oil in a deep fryer to 325 degrees. Unwrap three chicken packets, and deep fry until potatoes are crisp and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet lined with paper towels, and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining packets. Serve hot.

PROSCIUTTO SKEWERED CHICKEN WITH FRIED SAGE LEAVES

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts between two sheets of greaseproof paper and beat with a rolling pin until roughly twice their original size. Lay two rippled slices of prosciutto on top of each breast and secure with cocktail sticks. Dust each breast lightly with flour, then season with salt and pepper. (Can be made several hours ahead up to this point, and chilled.)
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, drop in the sage leaves (they should sizzle) and fry for 30 seconds until just crisp. They can burn quickly so watch them. Lift out the leaves with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Add the butter to the pan, let it melt, then fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked and well browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Pour in the wine, stirring well to scrape all the lovely sticky bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture bubble until the wine is reduced by about half. Stir in the cream or crème fraîche, put the chicken back in the pan and heat through. Scatter the fried sage leaves on top and serve with pasta tossed with a little olive oil and some freshly chopped sage leaves.
