Olympic Chicken Recipes

HIGH BAR OLYMPIC CHICKEN

• Dip the chicken breasts in the flour. Then dip them in the beaten egg whites, and finally in the seasoned cornmeal/bread crumb mixture. After breading the chicken, place it on a non-stick cookie sheet or a low sided roasting pan and put it in the oven.
• Cook for 35 minutes or until fully cooked and crispy brown.
• Serve with mashed potatoes blended with skim milk and non-fat sour cream.

MIKE'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat enough canola oil to come about 4 inches up the sides of a deep-fryer to 275 degrees F. Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Wash and pat dry the chicken parts. Dip the chicken in the dry mixture and shake off the excess. Carefully add the chicken, in batches, to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes. Chicken will float when done. Drain on paper towels, then arrange the chicken pieces on a serving platter and serve.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
• Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
• Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
• Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
• Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.

OLYMPIA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a mixing bowl stir together lemon juice, olive oil & pepper. Set aside.
• Rinse chicken; pat dry.
• Starting at the edge of the breast, slip your fingers between the skin and meat, loosening the skin as you work toward the neck end. With your entire hand under the skin, carefully free the skin around the thigh and leg area up to, but not around, the tip of the drumsticks.
• Using your hands, carefully stuff the feta cheese under the skin, filling the drumstick-thigh area first, working up to the breast. Press gently on the skin to distribute the feta cheese throughout the space underneath the chicken skin.
• Rub the lemon-oil mixture over entire bird.
• Place chicken, breast side up, on a broiler pan.
• Roast uncovered for 1 ¼ - 1 ¾ hours or until drumsticks move easily and meat is no longer pink.
• Remove chicken from oven. Loosely cover with foil and let stand 5 minutes before carefully you cut up chicken.
