Spicy Chicken Arrabbiata Capellini Recipes

CHICKEN ARRABBIATA

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove to a plate and pour out the drippings.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken skin-side up and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Put the ciabatta on a baking sheet and top each slice with a piece of cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the chicken among plates; spoon the sauce over the top. Serve with the broccolini and cheese toasts.

CHICKEN ARRABBIATA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavybased pan. Add the onions and whole garlic cloves. Fry, stirring frequently, for 10 mins, adding the chillies for the final min.
• Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and allow it to bubble for 1 min to cook off the alcohol. Stir in the stock, tomatoes, tomato purée and thyme with some seasoning. Add the chicken legs, pushing them under the liquid, then part-cover the pan and leave to simmer gently for 45 mins.
• Remove the lid and cook for a further 15 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced a little. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like, and pasta or mash.

SPICY CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH ARRABBIATA SAUCE

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Mix together the breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, tomato paste, cayenne, paprika, parsley, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; add the chicken, milk and egg. Gently blend together with your fingertips, then form into 2-inch balls. Don't compact the meatballs too much or they'll be dense and dry.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Add the meatballs and cook until a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each of their 4 sides. It's OK if they're not fully cooked through, as they'll finish cooking in the sauce. (If you're not cooking them in the sauce, then cook the meatballs over medium heat until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.)
• For serving: Pour the hot Arrabbiata into the skillet with the meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the meatballs are fully cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Top with the red onions and Parmesan, then ladle over a handful of arugula in each serving bowl. Garnish with the basil and enjoy!
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the alcohol has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the basil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
• Blend the sauce with an immersion blender (or in 2 batches in a blender) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Makes about 4 cups. Refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
