SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, sugar, reserved pineapple juice and cornstarch slurry into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reserve half of the sauce in a small serving bowl to be used as a dipping sauce alongside the skewers.
• Quarter the red pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice each quarter into 6 pieces. Cut each chicken thigh into 6 pieces.
• Preheat a grill pan or an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• On each of the 8 skewers, place 1 chunk of pineapple, then a piece of chicken thigh, followed by a piece of red pepper. Repeat with another piece of pineapple then chicken, then red pepper. Season skewers with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the skewers on oiled grill, cooking for 4 minutes on each side. Brush the sweet and sour sauce all over the skewers and grill and additional 2 minutes per side. Remove to a serving dish and serve with the reserved sweet and sour sauce, for dipping.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix together vinegar and honey. Mix in half the red onion and a pinch of salt and set aside for garnish, tossing the mixture occasionally as the chicken cooks.
• In a large bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, coriander and black pepper. Add chicken to bowl and rub the mixture all over it. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons oil, sweet potato, pepper, remaining onion, sage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and allspice. Spread vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to marinated chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up, among the vegetables, making sure chicken is surrounded by them, but not on top of them. (Chicken should rest directly on the baking sheet.)
• Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and raise heat to 450 degrees. Use a wide spatula to flip vegetables over (but not chicken). Drizzle chicken (but not vegetables) with 2 teaspoons liquid from the onion-vinegar mixture. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
• To serve, top chicken and vegetables with a spoonful of onion-vinegar mixture and plenty of cilantro leaves.

EASY HOMEMADE CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breasts into long thin slices and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, brown sugar, ginger, peanut butter, Sriracha, garlic, soy sauce, lime juice and zest, fish sauce and coconut milk, whisking everything together until combined.
• Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and place in a fridge-safe container (or cover the bowl), and let sit in the fridge for one to four hours.
• While the chicken is marinating, if you're using wooden skewers soak them in water for about 30 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from burning during cooking.
• You can also prepare the dipping sauce while the chicken is marinating. Simply whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil, peanut butter and coconut cream in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside at room temperature while you cook the chicken.
• Weave the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers (or metal ones, if you have them), making about 8 skewers in total.
• Grill the chicken skewers for about 7-8 minutes per side on an indoor grill on medium-high heat (or in a large cast iron frying pan, or on a pancake griddle) until completely cooked through. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 Fahrenheit (75 Celsius) when it's safe to eat, so be sure to test it with an instant-read meat thermometer.
• Serve the chicken skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping, either as an appetizer or as a main dish alongside some rice and steamed veggies. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, if desired.
