Dutch Oven Chicken

Scott — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 06:09:24 +0000

Cooking chicken in a cast-iron Dutch oven is a method that ensures terrifically moist, succulent results because the heavy lid keeps the steam inside the oven. It also keeps the flavor inside, but because some people don't like the look of steamed meat, here's a trick to make your chicken taste better and look great. Heat some oil or grease in the oven to about 350 degrees by placing the oven over coals. Sear the chicken in the hot oven by turning it until it is browned all over. This will help seal in the juices for better tasting chicken and give it a browned look. Once it's browned, remove the chicken, wipe out the excess grease, and add the chicken and seasonings for the recipe you are planning to cook. You'll find that Dutch oven chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Yum!

Smoked Chicken Wings

Scott — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 18:11:50 +0000

I recently tried a smoked chicken wings recipe. It was a little different from the typical chicken wing, but it had a nice, mild flavor and was super easy to do.

Rinse your chicken wings and blot dry. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Prepare the basting sauce by mixing the following:

1 1/2 cups Italian dressing
3/4 cup honey
1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
coarse salt to taste

Divide the basting sauce in half. One half will be used for basting during cooking and the other half will be poured over the wings when they are done.

Set up your grill for indirect grilling, which means to set up your propane or charcoal grill so that you're not cooking directly over the flame or coals. If you have a multi-burner propane grill, start one or two burners, but cook over the burner that is not lit. If you have a charcoal grill, start your charcoal, then move the coals to the outsides and cook in the middle (or whatever other method will work for your particular grill).

Prepare some wood chips for smoking by putting a handful into a foil packet and tearing three holes in the foil packet so smoke can escape and flavor the wings. You can also use a smoker box if you have one, or you can toss them directly on the coals if using charcoal.

Clean and oil the grates and add the wings to the hot grates. Keep the wings away from the heat. Cover the grill so the smoke is contained. Cook the wings until they are golden brown, which will take about 30-40 minutes. About 15 minutes into the cooking, start brushing the wings with the basting sauce prepared above. Then baste every 5-8 minutes after that. Turn the wings occasionally to coat all sides.

In the last few minutes of cooking, move the wings so they are directly over the heat and cook uncovered. Cook until crisp (but don't let them burn--it's easy to get a few that are cooked a little too much!).

When the wings are done, move them to a plate, pour the other half of the basting mixture over them and serve immediately.

These are simple to do and very tasty. Enjoy!

Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Salsa

Scott — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 13:32:57 +0000

I have a delicious dish to share with you today—Grilled Chicken with Black Bean Salsa. The grilled chicken has a rub that I put on it before I grilled it, and the black bean salsa was delicious. To make the rub, I took ¼ cup of brown sugar, half teaspoon of garlic powder, half teaspoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper, and a teaspoon of your favor hot sauce and mixed them together. I took the rub and rubbed it on four breasts of chicken. In the end, it didn’t seem like there was enough rub on the chicken when it get done cooking, so the next time I make this I think that I would double the recipe for the rub.

While the chicken was grilling, I started making the black bean salsa. To make this salsa, I took a 14 oz can of black beans, 8 to 10 ounces of crushed pineapple, diced a couple of tomatoes, diced half of a red onion, a couple of garlic cloves, and some lime juice.

I strained the pineapple and then mixed the black beans with it, then added the diced tomatoes and onions. Then I used a garlic press to crush the garlic and added that to the salsa, added the salt and pepper, and then added a couple tablespoons of lime juice and mixed it all up. This ended up being a delicious salsa that went great with the chicken. I also tried it with some chips, and that was delicious as well.

With the black beans, pineapple, and lime juice, this salsa is a little different from your typical salsa, but was a very tasty part of this meal. Give it a try and let me know what you think (you don’t even have to do any grilling to make and try the salsa!).

I’ve also got a video here to show you what I to make this dish. Hope you enjoy it!

Dutch Oven Chicken Pot Pie

Scott — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 16:41:32 +0000

This is one of the many Dutch oven pot pie recipes that are easy to make and taste great. Enjoy it!

3 to 3-1/2 lb Chicken

Chopped parsley

2-1/2 tsp salt

4 hard-boiled eggs, cut into wedges

4 stalks celery, thinly sliced

1/4 tsp pepper

Dough

2 c sifted flour

2 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

4-6 tbs water

Place chicken in Dutch oven, add salt, pepper, celery, onion and saffron. Add water to almost cover chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1 hour or until the chicken is tender. Do not overcook. Remove the chicken from the broth to make dough, place the flour into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and salt. Gradually work eggs into the flour, adding only enough water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead five minutes. Cover the dough with clean cloth and let rest 30 minutes. Divide the dough in half and roll out each as thinly as possible into a 15" square and cut each square into 2" squares with a sharp knife. Add potatoes and celery to the broth, simmer 25 min. until vegetables are tender. Taste the broth and add more salt or pepper if needed. Add the chicken pieces and bring to boil. Slide the squares of dough into the broth, a few at a time, pushing them down gently. Cover and simmer 20 min. Ladle the pot pie into large soup bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and the wedges of hard cooked eggs.

Enjoy!

Lemon Pepper Chicken

Scott — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 14:13:31 +0000

4 chicken breasts

1 fresh squeezed lemon

2 tablespoon oil

fresh ground pepper

Here's a great way to grill chicken using the lid of a Dutch oven. First prepare your charcoals and, while they are getting ready, marinate your chicken in the juice of one lemon. When ready, place approximately 25 charcoal briquettes on your cooking surface.

Invert a lid holder in the center of the briquettes, and then place an inverted Dutch oven lid on the lid holder. Allow a few minutes for the lid to heat up, then add a pat of butter and begin grilling the chicken. Add lots of fresh ground pepper. Cook until done, about 15 minutes per side.

On the grill simply coat the chicken lightly with oil, add the pepper to the lemon, and marinate. Cook on a hot grill for about 10-15 minutes per side.
