Grilled Lemon and Thyme Chicken

This Grilled Lemon and Thyme Chicken is exactly what a Summer Sunday should taste like. Fragrant with garden herb and citrus flavours, its flesh juicy as thanks to the overnight marinating, and its skin beautifully made crispy and smoky over the red embers. It is such a scrumptiously seasonal meal that it may have its rituals: it tastes even better (if possible!) eaten with fingers, in the sun, with a glass filled with well-chilled rosé! Happy Sunday!

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 lemon

1 teaspoon Dried Lemon Thyme

½ teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 chicken thighs

In shallow dish, grate the zest of half the lemon. Add Dried Lemon Thyme, fleur de sel and black pepper. Give a good stir to combine, and stir in olive oil, until well-blended.

Add chicken thighs to the dish and thoroughly, generously rub them all over in the lemon and herb oil, coating them nicely, and massaging the flavours into the flesh.

Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the whole lemon, and toss once more, to combine. Cover with cling film, and let chicken marinate in the refrigerator, for at least four hours, but preferably overnight.

Prepare barbecue: half an hour before grilling, arrange a layer of coals in the barbecue. Top with a few small branches of wood (applewood gives good taste), and light.

Wait for the flames to die down, and place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill over the red embers. Grill, about 7 minutes on each side until well-cooked through. Every couple of minutes or so, toss grilled chicken thighs into remaining marinade before returning on the grill, to make them even juicier and more flavourful!

Serve Grilled Lemon and Thyme Chicken hot, with a side of Tomatoes Provençal and a glass of well-chilled Gris Rosé.

WITCHY SAGE SKEWERS

They've got witches at the barbeque now????

I rarely ever see witchy grilling recipes for summer, so when in doubt, make your own!

The witchy part comes from the seasonings mostly, but also the intentions. Any food cooked with good intentions goes much farther than that with none.

That being said, sage, rosemary, black pepper, and thyme are kinda like the go-to bad vibes be gone type herbs lol.

I use bok choy and yellow squash in this recipe, but you can totally use whatever vegetables you have on hand at the time.

Oh! You could also try to spice the recipe up by subbing the butter for some sort of BBQ sauce. Sounds yummy.

INGREDIENTS (seasoning measurements are just suggestions):

4 chicken thighs, skinless + boneless (can be substituted for pork, tofu, or any fatty meats)

1 yellow squash, washed.

1 bunch of bok choy, washed.

1/2 tbsp Dried Sage

2 cloves Garlic, Minced

2 tsp Ground Thyme

1.5 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Onion powder

1 tsp brown sugar (you don't need it if you don't really want anything too sweet)

1 tsp honey (or more brown sugar)

1 tsp salt (plus more for the chicken)

0.5 tbsp Paprika (plus another half for the butter)

1 tsp Dried Rosemary

1/4 cup (4 tbsp) Unsalted Butter

Zest of half an orange (if you don't like orange, you could use lemon instead.)

1 tsp orange juice (or more to taste)

You can add lemon juice if you like a little more tang along with the orange juice

PREP: Mince garlic, soak wooden skewers, wash veggies. Slice yellow squash vertically into thin slices, along with bok choy, slicing vertically across the center. Set aside.

DIRECTIONS

Cut chicken thighs into about one-inch pieces. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, ground sage, and onion powder. Massage chicken until coated nicely. I like them pretty seasoned but really it's up to you!

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 12 minutes so they don't burn on the grill.

In a bowl, combine mix melted butter, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, paprika thyme, black pepper, honey, and rosemary together in a bowl. Add in orange zest and a tsp of orange juice. I also added a little bit of lemon juice. Set aside.

Toss chicken thighs, bok choy, and yellow squash in olive oil.

To assemble skewers, string on a piece of bok choy, gently folded over itself a couple of times, and pierced through to keep it folded on the skewer. Then, string on a piece of chicken. Next with your thinly sliced yellow squash fold that over just like the bok choy. You could also cut it into bite-size pieces and pierce right through it without needing to fold it over itself. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is full.

Heat the grill, clean the grates, and oil them. On medium high-ish heat, cook the skewers on each side for 5 minutes. Each time you flip the skewer, brush on your sage butter sauce. Make sure the chicken is done before taking it off the grill. It could take more than 5 minutes on each side to cook. To be safe, I cook them for another 3-4 minutes after flipping both sides.

Take off the grill and brush with more sauce if desired!

Enjoy! I made these with some herb-crusted potato wedges and grilled peach salad. They were delightful.

RECIPE NOTES:

I love skewers because you can put any fruits, veggies, and meat on it, and it works. A fun lunch idea is to skewer some peaches, cook them slightly on the grill, and throw it into some sort of salad. Very tasty lol.

I like using Bok Choy because it's very absorbent, and any marinade you put it in, it will soak up all the flavor. Just be careful not to share it on the grill.

Yellow squash is also what I use in this recipe, but the good thing about skewers is that you can use any vegetable. The more colorful, the more fun!

The Many Ways to Cook a Whole Chicken: A Delicious Guide

Few meals are as satisfying as a perfectly cooked whole chicken. Whether you’re preparing a simple weeknight dinner or a more elaborate feast, cooking a whole chicken offers a range of flavors and textures that can please any palate. From juicy, tender meat to crispy, golden skin, it’s a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit various cooking methods. In this blog post, we’ll explore the different ways to cook a whole chicken, from classic roasting to adventurous techniques like smoking and slow-cooking.

1. Roasting: The Classic Approach

Roasting a whole chicken is one of the simplest and most traditional methods. The dry heat of the oven crisps the skin while keeping the meat tender and juicy, and the technique requires minimal effort.

How to Roast a Chicken:

• Seasoning: Start by seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage. You can also stuff the cavity with aromatics like lemon, garlic, and onion to add extra flavor.

• Cooking: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan or on a rack, and cook for about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. A good rule of thumb is to roast for 20 minutes per pound.

• Finishing Touches: To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh—it should read 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Roasting delivers a crispy skin and evenly cooked meat, making it the perfect method for a classic family dinner or Sunday roast.

2. Grilling: Smoky and Crisp

Grilling a whole chicken adds a smoky flavor and creates a beautifully crisp skin. Spatchcocking (butterflying) the chicken—a technique that involves removing the backbone and flattening the bird—allows it to cook more evenly on the grill.

How to Grill a Chicken:

• Spatchcocking: Start by spatchcocking the chicken to ensure faster and more even cooking. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, olive oil, and your favorite spices or a marinade.

• Cooking: Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C). Place the chicken skin-side down over indirect heat and grill for about 30-35 minutes, then flip and cook for another 25-30 minutes. You can finish the chicken over direct heat for a few minutes to crisp up the skin.

• Checking Doneness: Again, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked in the thickest part of the thigh.

Grilling a whole chicken is ideal for warm-weather gatherings and imparts a wonderful, smoky flavor to the meat.

3. Slow-Cooking: Set It and Forget It

If you prefer a hands-off approach, slow-cooking a whole chicken in a crockpot or slow cooker is an excellent option. This method results in incredibly tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, perfect for a comforting, easy meal.

How to Slow-Cook a Chicken:

• Preparation: Season the chicken with your choice of spices. Adding a base of vegetables like carrots, onions, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker can enhance flavor and create a delicious broth.

• Cooking: Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, depending on the size of the chicken.

• Finishing Option: While the slow-cooking method doesn’t yield crispy skin, you can place the cooked chicken under the broiler for 5-10 minutes to achieve a golden-brown finish.

Slow-cooking is perfect for those busy days when you want a hearty meal with minimal effort. It also allows for easy shredding, making it ideal for tacos, sandwiches, or salads.

4. Smoking: Bold and Flavorful

Smoking a whole chicken infuses the meat with deep, smoky flavors that make it stand out from other cooking methods. While it requires more time and patience, the result is incredibly flavorful and juicy meat.

How to Smoke a Chicken:

• Preparation: Season the chicken with a dry rub or marinade. Common rubs include a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. For extra moisture and flavor, you can also brine the chicken beforehand.

• Cooking: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the chicken in the smoker and cook for 3-5 hours, depending on the size. You can baste it with a barbecue sauce or butter halfway through for added flavor and moisture.

• Temperature: As with other methods, make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part of the chicken.

Smoking is ideal for barbecue lovers and those who enjoy rich, complex flavors. It’s perfect for backyard cookouts or any occasion where you want to impress guests with a bold, smoky dish.

5. Poaching: Tender and Moist

Poaching a whole chicken involves gently simmering it in liquid, resulting in moist, tender meat that is perfect for making soups, salads, or sandwiches. The key to poaching is to cook the chicken at a low temperature to avoid drying out the meat.

How to Poach a Chicken:

• Preparation: Place the chicken in a large pot and cover it with cold water or broth. Add aromatics like garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and herbs for flavor.

• Cooking: Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat, but avoid boiling. Simmer the chicken for about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on its size. Check the internal temperature to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C).

• Cooling: Allow the chicken to cool slightly in the poaching liquid to retain moisture before removing it.

Poaching is a healthier option since it doesn’t require added fats, and it leaves you with a delicious broth that can be used for soups, risottos, or cooking grains.

6. Rotisserie: Crisp and Juicy

Rotisserie chicken is a favorite for its evenly cooked, juicy meat and perfectly crisp skin. Cooking a whole chicken on a rotisserie allows it to baste in its own juices while rotating, resulting in a deliciously moist interior.

How to Cook Rotisserie Chicken:

• Preparation: Season the chicken with your desired spices and herbs, and truss the chicken to ensure even cooking. Rotisserie spits typically require the chicken to be tied securely to avoid wobbling during rotation.

• Cooking: Set your rotisserie to medium heat and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours, depending on the chicken’s size, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with butter or oil every 30 minutes for added crispiness.

• Resting: Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Rotisserie chicken is a showstopper and a great choice for gatherings or special dinners, thanks to its golden skin and juicy meat.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Method for You

Whether you’re in the mood for a simple roast or a more adventurous smoked bird, cooking a whole chicken offers endless possibilities. Each method has its own unique advantages—from the crispy skin of roasted and grilled chickens to the tender, juicy meat of poached and slow-cooked versions. The key is to choose the method that best fits your taste preferences and the occasion.

Whatever technique you choose, cooking a whole chicken is not only economical but also a rewarding experience that can nourish you and your family with delicious and satisfying meals. So, grab a bird and get creative in the kitchen!

Additionally, grilling chicken is incredibly convenient, allowing hosts to cook large quantities of food with minimal effort.

Essential Ingredients and Tools

Selecting the Right Chicken Cuts

Choosing the perfect chicken cuts is essential for achieving succulent, tender meat on the grill. Opt for boneless, skinless breasts or thighs for quicker cooking times, or embrace the richness of bone-in pieces for added flavor. Plan for approximately 6-8 ounces of chicken per guest to ensure everyone leaves satisfied.

Marinades and Seasonings

From tangy citrus blends to savory herb concoctions, the possibilities are endless when it comes to marinades.

Whether you prefer a gas, charcoal, or electric grill, make sure it's clean and in good working condition. Essential tools include tongs, a meat thermometer, a basting brush, and aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Tips for Perfectly Grilled Chicken

Preparing the Grill

Before grilling chicken, ensure your grill is clean and preheated to the appropriate temperature. For boneless cuts, aim for medium-high heat (around 375-400°F), while bone-in pieces benefit from medium heat (around 350-375°F).

Cooking Techniques

To achieve evenly cooked chicken with a beautiful sear, resist the urge to constantly flip the meat. Allow each side to grill undisturbed for a few minutes before turning to prevent sticking and promote caramelization.

The Best Chicken Recipe for Fat Loss Revealed!

Unlock the secrets to leveraging chicken as your ally in your weight loss journey with these practical tips:

Opt for Lean Cuts: When selecting your chicken, prioritize skinless cuts to keep your calorie count in check. While chicken skin may tantalize your taste buds, it packs a punch in fat content. By forgoing it, you can significantly slash your calorie intake. Additionally, leaner options like chicken breast boast high protein content and minimal fat compared to their thigh counterparts.

Master Healthy Cooking Techniques: Ditch the frying pan and explore healthier cooking methods such as baking, grilling, poaching, or stir-frying. These approaches require little to no oil, ensuring you consume fewer calories and steer clear of unhealthy fats while preserving the protein-rich goodness of your chicken.

Flavor Wisely: Say goodbye to calorie-laden creamy sauces and embrace the vibrant world of spices, herbs, lemon, or lime juice to elevate the taste of your chicken dishes. These flavor enhancers add zest without piling on extra calories, making your culinary experience both delicious and nutritious.

Bonus Tips: In your quest for a balanced diet, remember to heed two fundamental principles: First, practice portion control by staying mindful of serving sizes, aiming for portions roughly the size of your palm. Second, prioritize the inclusion of vegetables and whole grains like brown rice or quinoa in your meals. These fiber-rich options not only keep you satiated but also furnish your body with essential nutrients for optimal health.

By incorporating these strategies into your culinary repertoire, you can savor the delights of chicken while staying on track with your weight loss goals.

“Enjoy Chicken Legs: A Culinary Journey from Oven to Table”

With their juicy meat and crispy skin, chicken thighs are a much-loved culinary delight. Versatile and flavorful, these succulent cuts can be prepared in a variety of ways, making them a favorite for casual dinners, family gatherings, and even special occasions. In this blog, we explore how to enjoy chicken thighs with Farzana  Food Items Wholesale Distributor UAE and discover delicious ways to enjoy this classic chicken part.

Choose high-quality chicken:

Before we get into the cooking methods, it's important to start with high-quality chicken. For bolder flavors and healthier options, choose organic or free-range drumsticks. Freshness is important. Therefore, to ensure that your chicken is of the highest quality, buy from a reliable source.

The magic of marinade:

The secret to bringing out the maximum flavor of chicken thighs is the marinade. Whether grilling, baking, or frying, a well-prepared marinade can add something special to your dish. Try a simple blend of olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs for a classic flavor, or add soy sauce, ginger, and honey for an Asian twist. Marinate the legs for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavor into the meat.

 Oven-baked perfection:

Roasting chicken thighs in the oven makes the skin crispy and the meat tender. Follow these steps for delicious results:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place the marinated drumsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let your feet rest for a few minutes before eating.

 Grill size:

Grilling chicken thighs adds a smoky flavor and gives it a grilled taste. Here's a quick guide:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Roast the legs, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes.

For extra flavor, brush with additional marinade while grilling.

Finger-licking fried drumsticks:

For people who like fried chicken, fried chicken thighs are a standard menu item. To get a crispy golden outside, follow these steps:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 175°C.

Dip the marinated drumsticks in the flour, salt, and pepper mixture.

Roast for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Drain on paper towels before serving.

Offer suggestions:

Whether you bake, grill, or fry your chicken thighs, presentation is key. Consider the delivery suggestions below.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro to add a pop of color.

Serve with dipping sauces like barbecue, honey mustard, or tzatziki.

Serve with sides like roasted vegetables, coleslaw, or mashed potatoes for a balanced meal.

Chicken drumsticks provide a great canvas for culinary creativity. From marinating to cooking, enjoying these succulent creations is a rewarding experience. Whether you love the perfect oven-roasted, grilled, or finger-licking fried treat, the options are endless. Gather your ingredients, demonstrate your cooking skills, and embark on a flavorful chicken drumstick adventure that will make your taste buds dance with joy.

Greek Chicken Skewers with Cauliflower Rice

New Post has been published on https://eazywellness.net/greek-chicken-skewers-with-cauliflower-rice/

Greek Chicken Skewers with Cauliflower Rice

Are you craving something light yet rich on the taste buds? Try our beautifully marinated chicken skewered with sliced zucchini, served alongside butter-and-herb infused cauliflower rice and a sprinkle of feta cheese. 

Let’s face it; there’s a reason eating meat on a stick is an extremely pleasurable experience. Reminiscent of backyard barbecues, food trucks, and al fresco dining, skewers can be customized exactly to your preferences and filled with a variety of delicious meat and vegetables. Plus, the classic way of preparing skewers is to grill them over a flame, which imparts that unmistakable smoky flavor.

In this dish, tender marinated chicken is threaded with zucchini slices, which provide a natural sweetness to the meat. The trick of taking the chicken to the next level is by giving it ample time to incorporate with the marinade. A few hours will do the trick, but if you want it to fully meld with the flavors of lemon, garlic, and all the herbs and spices, leaving it overnight yields the best result. The chicken and zucchini are elevated even further with a side of fresh cauliflower rice. Unlike regular rice, which can make you feel heavy and bloated after eating, cauliflower rice is low in carbs, high in fiber, and takes on sauces and spices well—in this case, a generous mix of butter and dried herbs. Don’t forget to top the skewers and cauliflower rice with some crumbled feta cheese before serving! The sharp and distinct salty taste of feta will really bring the Mediterranean spirit to this dish.

Yields 4 servings of Greek Chicken Skewers with Cauliflower Rice

The Preparation

Chicken Skewers:

1/4 cup olive oil

1 medium lemon, juice and zest

4 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

2 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4″ inch slices

1/4 cup feta cheese, for garnish

Cauliflower Rice:

400 gram cauliflower, riced

4 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

The Execution

2. Create the marinade by combining the olive oil, juice and zest from lemon, minced garlic, paprika, rosemary, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Marinade for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.

4. Pre-heat grill to medium-high. Skewer the chicken and zucchini, alternating between pieces.

5. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes per side, rotating 1/4 turn as you go along. Chicken should be charred and fully cooked once finished.

6. Prepare the cauliflower rice by adding butter to a pan over medium-high heat. Once melted and bubbling, add in the cauliflower. Season with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Stir frequently allowing moisture to release from cauliflower.
