Peanut Butter Roasted Chicken Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until chicken starts to turn white. Add the onion, mushrooms, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the tomatoes and chicken stock into the skillet, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in peanut butter, and cook stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This should only take a minute or two. If the sauce is not thickening, you may stir in more peanut butter.

ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH PEANUT BUTTER BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the barbecue sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat oil. Add onion and cook over moderate medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized and deepened in color, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and 6 tablespoons water. Simmer until flavors are combined, and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Make the chicken: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken, oil and 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce and season with salt. Toss to evenly coat and arrange on the rack. Roast, using a brush to baste with the remaining 1/2 cup sauce every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and deep golden in color, about 30 minutes. Serve with the leftover sauce on the side, or store sauce in the refrigerator for later use.

PEANUT BUTTER ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start by roasting your chicken the way you normally would. If you don't normally roast your chickens, I'll just put the way we do it here for you. The rest of you can skip this bit.
• First cover the inside of your chicken in a thin layer of kosher salt.
• laying the chicken breast side down, cover in a light layer of olive oil and sprinkle with prepared spices, one spice at a time.
• Turn the chicken over and repeat this. Don't forget to sprinkle some of those spices into the cavity so that the bird is completely flavored.
• Pop that bird in the oven. Go relax for a bit, unless you have side dishes to prepare. If so, do that, *then* go relax.
• After the bird's been cooking for about an hour, go back to the kitchen and grab the peanut butter, the honey, and an orange.
• Cut the orange in half.
• Eat one half, because you're probably hungry from the smell of roasting chicken and half an orange isn't going to fill you up, especially if someone is there to help you eat it.
• Mix one half cup of peanut butter and one quarter cup of honey together in a small bowl. It's gonna look really thick.
• Squeeze that orange into the bowl. Not the one you've been eating, the other half. Squeeze it. Squeeze it hard. Little more. Alright, you can stop.
• Mix that into your honey and peanut butter and don't freak out if it gets a little grainy at first, it'll smooth out. You can also grate some of the orange peel in there. You don't have to, but it gives it a good texture.
• Set that in your fridge until the last ten to twenty (thirty on the outside) minutes of roasting for your chicken. You can't do this at the start of the roasting because the peanut butter and honey will just dry up and get hard on the surface of your chicken and not be very appetizing.
• Pull the chicken out and use a barbecue brush to slather on the peanut butter mixture. Apply as liberally as you want. It's all you. Make sure you get it all over the chicken. If there's any left over, you can slather it on the inside of your chicken if you want. We've never done that, but I suspect it makes the gravy taste very interesting indeed.
• Put the chicken back in the oven to cook the rest of the allotted time and clean up any mess you've made. Maybe give that last bit of orange to anyone who wouldn't help you make the chicken in the first place.
• Ding! Timer goes off, pull out the chicken, make gravy if desired, carve up, serve, and enjoy!

ROAST CHICKEN IN A BUTTER CRUST

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, salt and sugar and mix briefly to combine. Add butter pieces and mix until butter breaks into smaller pieces and is evenly mixed with flour. Add 1/2 cup cold water and mix until dough begins to come together in one lump.
• Turn off mixer, remove paddle and attach dough hook. Knead at low speed until a smooth mass forms, about 2 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand: push dough away from you with the heel of your hand, fold it over toward you, give it a quarter-turn, then repeat until dough feels elastic and moist. If dough feels sticky, knead in flour as you go, 1 tablespoon at a time. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days.
• Make the chicken: Cut off wing tips and discard (or save for stock). Pat bird dry and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, loosely covered, while you make the stuffing (or longer, up to 2 days).
• Heat oil or butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add vegetables, herbs and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, at a gentle sizzle until vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to prevent browning. Set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Stuff chicken with the vegetables. To secure stuffing and keep the bird in a compact shape, cross legs at the "ankles" and tie together with twine.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a rough circle that's large enough to enclose the chicken. Place stuffed chicken, breast side down, in the center. Wrap dough up and around the bird, encompassing it completely. Overlap the edges and pinch them closed to make a seam. Turn wrapped bird over and place seam side down on a baking sheet.
• Whisk egg white with 1 tablespoon water and brush all over dough. Sprinkle very lightly with salt. Bake until crust is golden brown and meat is cooked through (165 degrees; it is O.K. to puncture the crust with the thermometer), 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on size.
• Let cool 1 to 2 hours before serving. The meat will remain hot and the juices will be absorbed into the meat and the stuffing.
• To serve, use your hands to break off the top of the crust and place on the baking sheet. The breasts will be on top: peel off skin, discard, and carve the breast meat off the bone. Continue carving, without turning bird over. The juices will soak into the crust and pool on the baking sheet: this is exactly what you want. Cut the twine and use a spoon to remove stuffing and divide on serving plates. Add chicken and pieces of crust to each plate. Tilt pan and spoon up juices to pour over meat and vegetables. Serve immediately.
