  14. Roast the chicken at 160c or 320f for 60 minutes.
  15. Remove the pan from the oven. Shuffle the vegetables around the pan and flip the chicken pieces over.

  19. Once again, give the pan a generous dose of the ras el hanout.
  20. Return the pan to the oven, adjust the temperature to 250c or 480f and roast for a final 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken skin is well browned.
  21. Remove the pan from the oven and serve the chicken and vegetables on a bed of couscous and enjoy.

Chicken Kiev - Deep fried Chicken Breast Stuffed with Garlic Parsley Butter
Author: 
Recipe type: Chicken
Serves: 2
 
Chicken Kiev is a Classic dish of chicken breast filled with garlic and parsley butter, crumbed and deep-fried to golden perfection. This all sounds really easy until the butter melts and runs out of the breast. There is a trick to this, and this how it goes.
Ingredients
  • 2 Chicken breasts (deboned, skinless)
  • 1 Cup all-purpose flour
  • 5ml Paprika
  • 5ml White pepper
  • 5ml Salt
  • 3 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 Cup fine dried breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying
For the Filling
  • 80g Butter
  • 125ml Finely chopped parsley
  • 15ml Garlic, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. To make the garlic parsley butter, mash the butter, finely chopped garlic, and parsley together until well combined. Put this aside.
  2. Place the chicken breasts on the chopping board, smooth side down and trim away the little fillets from the breasts. Put these aside.
  3. Turn the breasts over. Starting about a quarter of the way in from the long edge of the breast, slice into the breast at a slight angle until you can flap the upper part of the breast back.
  4. Turn the breast 180 degrees and repeat this starting 3 quarters of the way in from the edge. Flap this piece open, then repeat this with the remaining breast.
  5. Place the chicken fillets on a piece of cling-wrap. Fold the wrap over to enclose the fillets and use the base of a small saucepan to gently tap the fillets flat.
  6. Place half of the butter mixture into each of the breasts and flap the 2 edges over the butter to enclose the butter. Place a fillet over the join in the flaps to close it entirely.
  7. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set and firm up.
  8. While the chicken sets, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, white pepper and salt.
  9. Measure out the dried breadcrumbs.
  10. Lightly beat 3 eggs and pour these into a dish.
  11. Sprinkle a thin layer of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated chicken kiev will set, and the layer of flour will prevent the chicken coating from sticking to the platter and getting damaged.
  12. To coat the kiev, dredge it in the seasoned flour. Dunk the chicken in the egg to wet all of the flour. Return it to the flour mixture to get a good coating, then back to the egg making sure to wet all of the flour, especially the ends.
  13. Then it's into the bread crumbs to get a good solid coating all over.
  14. Transfer the coated chicken to the platter and continue with the remaining chicken. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
  15. Fill a large pan with oil to a depth of 1 inch and heat this over medium heat to a temperature of 170c or 340f.
  16. Carefully drop the chicken kiev into the oil and fry these for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp and golden.
  17. Remove the breasts from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  18. Serve the kiev immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  19. And there we have it... the perfect chicken kiev ... filled with melted butter, garlic and parsley.

Deep Fried Dragon Salt Chicken - How to Make Dragon Salt Chicken at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Deep-Fried Chicken
Cuisine: Mongolian
 
Dragon salt is an extremely versatile and tasty addition to your kitchen. It can be used to flavor roast chicken, grilled kebabs, steaks and pork. In this episode we're making the dragon salt and using it to flavor a batch of crispy deep fried chicken.
Ingredients
For the Dragon Salt
  • 10ml Himalayan rock salt
  • 30ml Ground black pepper
  • 30ml Garlic powder
  • 30ml Ground ginger
  • 30ml Chilli powder
  • 30ml Dried dill
  • 10ml Lemongrass powder
  • 15ml Smoked paprika
  • 10ml Dried basil
  • 10ml Celery salt
For the Rest
  • Chicken pieces
  • Oil for frying
  • All-purpose flour
  • 4 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Combine the Himalayan rock salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, ground ginger, chilli powder, dried dill, lemon grass powder, smoked paprika, dried basil and celery salt.
  2. This is the dragon salt. For the purposes of our recipe, we need this to be really fine. To achieve this zap the powder in your spice blender until fine. Transfer the powder to a sprinkle bottle. Store any excess powder in an airtight container.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a large roasting tin in a single layer and sprinkle the dragon salt liberally over the chicken. Turn the pieces over and repeat with the other side.
  4. Place this in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours to marinate.
  5. Place 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Beat 4 eggs and place these in a large dish. (you may need more flour and eggs depending on how many chicken pieces you are coating)
  6. Take some of the flour and sprinkle this over a large platter. This is where the coated chicken will set, and the flour prevents the chicken coating from sticking to the platter.
  7. To coat the chicken, dredge the chicken in the flour. Dunk the chicken in the egg to wet all of the flour. Return the chicken to the flour to get a good solid coating. For the double dip, return the chicken to the egg to wet all of the flour, them back to the flour to get a good thick, solid coating. Transfer the chicken to the platter and continue with the remaining pieces. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
  8. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f. Fry the chicken in batches for 20 minutes per batch, turning once, halfway through.
  9. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain any excess on kitchen paper before serving.

Cuisine: American
 
Some time ago we launched the first of our KFC series and have been overwhelmed at the response. One of the main questions that arose from this was where to buy saltpetre. This updated version of the recipe uses Prague powder to replaces the saltpetre, the salt and the bicarbonate of soda.
Ingredients
  • 8-12 Chicken pieces
For the Secret Herb & Spice Blend
  • 15ml Paprika
  • 10ml Onion Salt
  • 5ml Dried Sage
  • 5ml Garlic Powder
  • 5ml Dried Oregano
  • 5ml Cayenne Pepper
  • 5ml Cracked black pepper
  • 5ml Dried basil
  • 5ml Dried marjoram
  • 5ml Ground Coriander seed
For the Curing Brine
  • 3lt Water
  • 5ml Whole black peppercorns
  • 1 Whole allspice
  • 5ml Ground ginger
  • 50g Sugar
  • 105g Prage powder / pink curing salt (NOT Instacure)
For the Coating
  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 4-6 eggs, beaten
Instructions
  1. Some time ago we launched the first of our KFC series and have been overwhelmed at the response. One of the main questions that arose from this was where to buy saltpetre. This updated version of the recipe uses Prague powder to replaces the saltpetre, the salt and the bicarbonate of soda.
  2. Prague powder, or pink curing salt is available worldwide from butchery suppliers, and you may even buy it directly from any butcher that processes cured meats and sausages.
  3. Prague powder is not to be confused with Instacure which is a totally different formulation and cannot be substituted.
  4. Before continuing, if you have not viewed the original video, please do so now as it contains all of the introductory information about the process.
  5. To make up the curing brine, place all of the brine spices, excluding the prague powder into a large pot. Add half of the secret spice blend to the pot as well, then pour in 3 liters of water.
  6. Bring this to a boil, lower the heat and allow this to simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Quick-chill the brine by floating it in a sink of cold water. Changing the sink water every few minutes will speed this up as well.
  8. While the brine cools, use a carving fork or skewer to punch holes through the skin of the chicken pieces. This enables the curing brine to penetrate the chicken more efficiently.
  9. Place the chicken pieces in a large non-reactive food-safe container.
  10. Remove the cooled brine from the sink and add the Prague powder. Stir this thoroughly until totally dissolved.
  11. Pour the brine over the chicken pieces and pop a couple of side plates on top of the chicken pieces to keep them submerged.
  12. Put the lid on the container, transfer it to your refrigerator and allow the chicken to cure for a full 24 hours.
  13. Place the all-purpose flour in a large bowl and add the remaining half of the secret herbs and spices. Mix this until combined, then cover the bowl with cling-wrap.
  14. The following day, remove the chicken from the brine and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  15. Before coating the chicken, sprinkle a layer of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated chicken will set, and the layer of flour prevents the coating from sticking to the platter.
  16. Working with on piece of chicken at a time, dredge the chicken in tbe seasoned flour to coat all over.
  17. Dunk the the chicken in the egg to wet all of the flour.
  18. Return the chicken to the flour, making sure to get a good solid coating all over. Transfer the coated chicken to the platter to set, then continue with the remaining pieces.
  19. Allow the coated chicken to set for 20 minutes.
  20. Half-fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f.
  21. Carefuly drop the chicken into the oil and fry for a full 20 minutes turning halfway through. If you have chicken wings among your pieces, half the frying time for these.
  22. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain any excess oil on kitchen paper.
  23. The chicken does benefit from standing for a while before serving. Five to ten minutes is ideal.
  24. And there it is.... golden, crispy and aromatic KFC deep-fried chicken.

KFC has to be the all-time great when it comes to creating an unmistakable franchise taste. The KFC Zinger burger arrived sometime down the line in their history, and has carved its own little niche in the history of awesome meals.
Ingredients
  • 8-12 Chicken breasts, deboned, skin removed
For the Curing Brine
  • 3lt Water
  • 45g Prague powder
  • 45g Salt
  • 60g Sugar
  • 5ml Ground ginger
  • 6 Whole allspice (pimento)
  • 15ml Whole black peppercorns
  • ½ of the spice mix below
For the Spice blend
  • 45ml Cayenne pepper
  • 5ml Dried sage
  • 5ml Garlic powder
  • 5ml Dried oregano
  • 5ml Cracked black pepper
  • 5ml Dried basil
  • 5ml Dried marjoram
  • 5ml Ground coriander seed
For the coating
  • 2 Cups all-purpose flour
  • 4-6 Eggs, lightly beaten
Other
  • Burger buns
  • Sliced Tomato
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Mayonnaise
Instructions
  1. For the basic brine you need 45g of Prague powder, 45g of salt, 60g sugar, 5ml ground ginger, 6 allspice berries, and 15ml whole black peppercorns.
  2. For the spice blend, combine the cayenne pepper, dried sage, garlic powder, dried oregano, cracked black pepper, dried basil, dried marjoram and dried coriander.
  3. Divide the herb and spice blend in half.
  4. Fill a pot with 3 liters of water and add the Prague powder mixture along with half of the herb and spice blend.
  5. Bring this to a simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every minute then quick chill the brine by floating the pot in a sink of cold water.
  6. Once the brine has cooled, pour enough brine into a large pan to cover the base. (you must use a stainless steel for food grade plastic pan - you can not use aluminum) Place the chicken breasts in the pan in a single layer, then pour in the remaining brine to completely cover the chicken.
  7. Cover the pan and refrigerate this for a full 24 hours.
  8. After the curing time, remove the breast from the brine and pat them dry with a clean dish cloth or kitchen paper.
  9. If the breast are large like these, about 250g each, cut them in half, otherwise use them as is. Fold each piece, or whole breast if they're small, in cling-wrap and tap them down with a meat mallet until they are 10mm or just less than a half inch thick.
  10. To mix the coating, combine the all-purpose flour with the remaining half of spices. You will also need 4 to 6 eggs lightly beaten.
  11. Before coating the chicken, sprinkle some of the seasoned flour over a large platter. This is where the coated chicken will set and the layer of flour prevents the coating from sticking to the plate and getting damaged when it is lifted.
  12. To coat the chicken, dredge each piece in the flour. Dunk the chicken in the egg to wet all of flour. Then back into the flour to get a good solid coating. Transfer the coated chicken to the platter. Repeat with all the remaining chicken then allow the coating to set for 20 minutes before continuing.
  13. While the coating sets, cut and butter the buns. Spread the lid of the bun generously with plain or chilli mayonnaise. Place a generous layer of lettuce and 2 tomato slices on the bottom of each bun.
  14. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 325f. Fry the chicken for a full 20 minutes turning halfway through. It is advisable to use a deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature.
  15. Drain the chicken on kitchen paper and transfer to the buns. Put the lids on the buns and voila.... you have the iconic KFC Zinger.

In our previous episode we made the inimitable smashed cheese burger. The video has created quite some interest, so here is the chicken version.... the smashed chicken cheese burger.
Ingredients
For 8 Burgers - The Chicken
  • 1kg / 2.2lb Deboned chicken thigh, skin on
  • 15g Fine salt
  • 2ml Ground cloves
  • 10ml Ground coriander seed
  • 2ml Ground nutmeg

The Rest
  • 8 Large burger buns

Instructions
  1. To prepare the chicken, run the chicken thigh meat through your mincer using the 6mm or quarter inch mincer plate.
  2. Add the salt, white pepper, ground cloves, ground coriander seed, and ground nutmeg to the chicken and mix this in.
  3. Fit the 3mm plate to your mincer and run the meat through again.
  4. Transfer the ground chicken to your refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
  5. Once chilled, divide the chicken into portions of 125g. Work on top of a square of foil, press a portion of chicken into a cylinder funnel to form a patty that resembles a hockey puck.
  6. Repeat this with all of the remaining portions. Transfer these to a large platter in a single layer and place them in your freezer for exactly 15 minutes.
  7. While the patties chill, slice your buns, the tomatoes and the cheese. You will also need a whole load of crispy lettuce leaves.
  8. Heat your pan over medium high heat and add 50g of butter. Drop the buns face down into the pan and fry them until golden. Repeat this with the remaining buns, adding more butter when necessary.
  9. By this stage the patties have chilled for 15 minutes. Crank the heat of the pan up to smoking hot and add the patties to the pan. Crush them using an egg lifter or similar utensil, pressing it down with any other sturdy kitchen tool.
  10. Allow these to fry for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Flip the patties and immediately arrange the cheese slices on top of the patties. Continue to fry for a further 3 and half minutes.

  • 1kg (2.2lb) Deboned chicken thigh with skin on
  • 15g Fine non-iodated salt
  • 5ml White pepper
  • 2ml Ground cloves
  • 10ml Ground coriander seed
  • 2ml Nutmeg
  • 10ml Cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
  1. You will need a kilogram or 2.2lb of deboned chicken thigh, with the skin on. Fit the 6mm mincer plate to your mincer and run the chicken through the machine.
  2. Add the salt, white pepper, ground cloves, ground coriander seed and ground nutmeg, and mix these into the chicken.
  3. Fit the 3mm plate to your mincer and run the chicken through the machine again. This minces the chicken finely and mixes the spices into the meat thoroughly.
  4. To stuff the sausages, I am using 26mm collagen casings on the 20mm funnel. Load the sausage stuffer's hopper with meat and press it down firmly to expel any air.
  5. Feed the collagen casing onto the funnel and twist the end. I have found that using a bull-clip to secure the end works quite well.
  6. Start cranking the handle of the stuffer while feeding the casing off of the funnel with your other hand. Don't apply too much pressure to the casing as this will lead to over-stuffing and cause the casings to burst while being cooked.
  7. Twist the sausage into links and snip these apart. Refrigerate the sausage overnight to allow the flavors to develop, then cook them in the same way that you would cook pork bangers.

  • 2 Onions chopped
  • 3 Cloves garlic chopped
  • 250ml Bourbon
  • 500ml Tomato puree
  • 80ml Cider vinegar

  • 125ml Sticky brown sugar (Demarara or treacle)
  • 5ml Tabasco sauce

  • 10ml Cracked black pepper
Instructions
  1. Starting with the marinade, saute the onions and garlic in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes until they are tender and translucent.
  2. Pour in the bourbon and continue to fry for a further 2 minutes.
  3. Add the Tabasco, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, cracked black pepper and tomato puree.
  4. Mix this all together thoroughly and continue to simmer the sauce for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool while you continue with the wings.
  5. Cut the the wingtips from the wings and transfer the wings to a large non-reactive pan. Pour the bourbon sauce over the wings evenly so that everything is covered.
  6. Place the wings in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Barbecue the wings over high heat for 16 minutes, turning every 4 minutes and basting at every turn with the remaining sauce.
  8. If you prefer to use your oven, place the pan in your preheated oven at 180c or 350f for 30 to 40 minutes.
  9. Serve the wings to platters with the accompaniments of your choice and serve immediately.
