Chicken Dejonghe Recipes

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; when it is hot, place chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place skillet in the oven. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until almost done (juices will run clear, and there will be just a trace of pink near the bone). Remove chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place it in the oven; turn off the heat, and leave the door slightly ajar.
• Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking juices out of the skillet (discard them). Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add shallots; sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and raise the heat to high. Cook a minute or two, or until the powerful acrid smell has subsided somewhat. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is slightly reduced and somewhat thickened. Stir in butter, if desired.
• Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN DE JONGHE

Steps:

• Saute onions and mushrooms in a tablespoon of butter. Add chicken and cook until almost, but not quite done. Put chicken mixture into a casserole dish large enough to cover the bottom with one layer--usually a large pie plate is the right size. In the food processor, put in bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic. Process until combined. Add in the cold butter and pluse until just mixed--it should be the consistency of pie dough prior to adding the water. Add wine and pulse about 4-5 times, until just mixed, but still crumbly. Put mixture over the chicken and drizzle with melted butter and grated parmesan. Bake at 350ºfor about 30 minutes, then broil until brown and crisp on top (2-3 minutes)

• In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric hand mixer or whisk, and thoroughly blend in the bread crumbs and sour cream. Slowly beat in the parsley, crushed garlic, salt, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, black pepper and juice of 1/2 lemon.

SHRIMP DE JONGHE (DEREK'S WAY)

Steps:

• Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Melt half the butter in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and the garlic. Cook the shrimp until they start to turn pink on both sides. Don't worry if they're not completely cooked, they're going in the oven later. Remove the shrimp to about 6 or 8 small individual casserole dishes. Try to leave the garlic and butter in the pan.
• Add the rest of the butter to the pan you just cooked the shrimp in, and continue cooking until the butter is clarified and the garlic is browned.
• Strain the clarified garlic butter into a bowl or I use a 2 cup measuring cup. It makes it easy to pour.
• Mix 1/4 cup of the clarified butter with the bread crumbs and set aside.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the rest of the clarified butter. Stir and pour an even ammount into each shrimp dish. I try to stir as I pour to make sure every dish gets the same ammount of everything.
• Flake bread crumbs over shrimp. At this point they can be refrigerated and baked later.
• Bake 10-12 minutes at 400°F.
• Bread crumbs should be browned on top.
