BAKED ROSEMARY CHICKEN WITH POLENTA #RSC

Steps:

• In a large skillet, over medium high heat, brown chicken well on all sides in oil, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the polenta by heating the water to boiling and stirring in the cornmeal or grits; continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chicken is browned.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F; butter a baking dish large enough to hold all the chicken.
• Stir corn, peppers, and cheese into the polenta mixture (it will still be quite runny); season with a pinch of salt and/or pepper if desired.
• Pour polenta into baking dish, arrange chicken legs on top of the polenta and cover with rosemary, then sprinkle tomatoes around the outside edges; cover tightly with Reynolds Wrap aluminun foil.

FOIL WRAPPED CHICKEN - BAKED OR FRIED

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into coarse mince and playfully spank it with a mallet to tenderize. Say, "You've been a naughty little chicken!".
• Mix the marinade ingredients together, add chicken, and refrigerate for one hour. At the 45 minute mark, add the mushrooms and scallions.
• Cut paper or foil pieces into 6-inch squares.
• Paper-wrapped chicken is normally wrapped envelope style. Take a square of paper and lay it out in front of you. Add 2 of the chicken slices, 1 slice of mushroom, 2 slices of green onion and a coriander sprig (if desired) in the middle, being sure to keep the filling in the center and not near the edges.
• Bring the bottom flap up over the chicken. Fold the right side over toward the middle, then the left side, so that one is overlapping the other. Fold the top flap down, tucking it inside the opening to seal the package. It is very important to make sure the packets are well sealed so that no oil seeps inches.
• If using foil, fold in half diagonally to form a triangle, then crimp the open edges together.
• DEEP FRYING METHOD: Heat wok and add oil for deep-frying.
• When the oil is ready, slide the packages in, about 6 at a time so as not to overcrowd the wok. Deep-fry the packets, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Drain on paper towels. Continue deep-frying the rest of the packets.
• Serve the chicken packets on a large platter, garnished with greens if desired. Guests can open the packets with either chopsticks or their fingers, but be careful as they're hot inside.
• OVEN METHOD: Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) oven for 18 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.

CHICKEN WITH LEMON CREAM SAUCE #RSC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Loosely cover with Reynolds Wrap Foil and let rest at room temperature for 45-50 minutes.
• While chicken is resting, prepare 2 cast iron skillets (or other heavy bottom skillets) and 2 heavy bricks (bricks that can lay side by side in one skillet). Lightly oil the bottom of one skillet with 1 TBS of oil. Double wrap the bricks individually with Reynolds Wrap Foil. Set skillets and bricks aside.
• Cut a single sheet of Reynolds Wrap Foil (about 15 inches long) to enclose the zucchini slices, tomatoes and red pepper. You can also make an individual packet for each guest. Set aside.

Place the other skillet, bottom side down. on top of the chicken and place the bricks in the skillet (for weight),Cook until the skin is crispy (12-15 minutes). Using gloves or hot pads, remove the top skillet with the bricks and with tongs turn the chicken over and then recover with the skillet and bricks and cook for 10 minutes. Continue cooking and turning every 10 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165*F, about 50-60 minutes. Transfer chicken to a carving board, loosely cover with Reynolds Wrap Foil, and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Place the zucchini slices, topped with the cherry tomatoes and then the red bell pepper in the center of the sheet of aluminum foil. Fold up the sides of the foil. Season the vegetables with a tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pour the wine along the sides of the vegetables. Enclose and wrap the sides of the foil together forming a enclosed packet. Place on a baking sheet with sides and place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the vegetables are steamed.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet in which the chicken was cooked, scraping up the brown bits. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to approximately 3/4 cup. Stir in the cream and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened. Stir in the white pepper and 1/2 tsp salt.
• Carve the chicken and place on serving plates. Drizzle with the sauce. Divide the vegetables and rice among the plates and serve.
