Chicken Stock On The Grill Recipes

CHICKEN STOCK ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a two-zone fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it. To create your medium-heat zone, nudge the embers 2 to 3 inches lower than that.
• Fill a stockpot with the water, garlic, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, and peppercorns and place over medium heat. Place the chicken, carrots, celery, and onions over high heat and cook, turning occasionally, until well charred all over, about 15 minutes total. When each ingredient is done, add it to the pot (it's important that each ingredient be very well browned-almost burnt-before adding to the pot). Cook the stock for at least 3 hours, adding additional water if necessary to keep the meat and vegetables covered. Season with salt at the end.
• Remove the pot from heat. Remove the chicken pieces and shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. Strain the stock, discarding solids.
• To serve, place a pile of shredded chicken into each bowl and cover with hot stock. Pass the parsley and lemon wedges separately. The stock can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MUSTARD-GARLIC MARINADE AND SAUCE

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in resealable food-storage plastic bag.
• In medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup of the broth, the oil, 2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard, the lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper with whisk. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 8 hours to marinate.
• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; pour marinade into 1-quart saucepan. Beat in remaining 1/2 cup broth and maple syrup with whisk. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (165°F). Meanwhile, heat sauce to boiling and cook 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Sauce should be smooth and slightly syrupy. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
• Serve chicken breasts with sauce; top with parsley.

CHICKEN STOCK

Steps:

• Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, and seasonings in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot. Add 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander and discard the solids. Chill the stock overnight. The next day, remove the surface fat. Use immediately or pack in containers and freeze for up to 3 months.
