CINNAMON CHICKEN

Cinnamon Chicken image

Every time I hear the words "Cinnamon Chicken" I am reminded of the tv series Little House on the Prairie and the famous episode where Nellie asks Laura to help her cook Almanzo's favorite meal. Laura is jealous of Nellie and replaces the cinnamon with tons of black pepper. Anyway, here is a recipe I clipped from a magazine a long time ago that brings the image of what that dish might have tasted like(if Laura had not tampered with it lol). This was adapted from a magazine clipping.

Time P1DT1h

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups apple juice (or half juice and half sherry wine)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 lbs chicken pieces (8 pieces total)
2 tablespoons canola oil, approximately
1 lemon, for garnish, cut into wedges

Steps:

Combine juice, honey, lemon juice, garlic, seasonings in a large ziptop container.
Add chicken pieces, seal bag, shake to coat well and let marinade in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350°F and have ready a large roasting pan, 9" x 13".
Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and set chicken aside on a plate.
Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and boil until it has reduced to 1 cup and has begun to thicken (about 10-15 minutes).
Heat oil in a skillet and brown chicken parts over fairly high heat just a few minutes per side, lowering heat if needed to prevent from charring- you want the chicken to be evenly browned, but not fully cooked yet.
Place chicken in the roasting pan and pour the reduced marinade on top.
Bake 30-55 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and no no longer pink (will vary based on the chicken pieces you use).
Skim fat from the pan juices and serve juices as a dipping sauce if you like.
Garnish with lemon wedges.

ROASTED CINNAMON CHICKEN

Our family eats a chicken every other weekend so sometimes it is challenging to find new ways of roasted chicken. This idea nailed it. Delicious, juicy, interesting. Tummies were full and my daughter even asked for second serving - VERY rare. Great with couscous, raisins, and peeled almonds as a side dish.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut lengthwise
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or as needed
1 cup water
1 cup maple syrup
1 lemon, juiced
2 chile peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Sprinkle chicken halves generously with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Put chicken in a roasting pan; pour water into pan.
Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Whisk maple syrup, lemon juice, and chile peppers together in a bowl; brush chicken with maple syrup mixture. Pour any remaining maple syrup mixture into the pan.
Cook chicken until no longer pink at the bone, juices run clear, and skin is lightly browned, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Brush chicken with butter; bake until skin is crisp, 10 to 15 more minutes.

CINNAMON CHICKEN

Chicken breasts baked with cinnamon and other seasonings. This is a recipe that I created while working at a flight kitchen. We had cinnamon in the spice collection that nobody used for anything, so I decided to try it on chicken and the flight crews and my family loved it!
