Recipe for Chicken Thighs Please?

ThanksRecipe for Chicken Thighs Please?
Here is a delicious one I just tried the other day ........ = )





Tangerine-Maple Glazed Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks





5 tablespoons canola oil


1 small red onion, coarsely chopped


1 quart tangerine juice or tangerine-orange juice, not from concentrate


4 sprigs fresh thyme


1 tangerine or orange, zested


1/4 cup pure maple syrup


1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce


1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning


8 chicken drumsticks


8 bone-in chicken thighs


Salt


2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish


Grilled oranges and tangerines, for garnish





Heat the grill to medium-high.





Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat, add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the juice and thyme, bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to approximately 1/2 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.





Strain the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the syrup, soy sauce and black pepper and let cool to room temperature. Can be made 2 days in advance and brought to room temperature before using.





Brush chicken on both sides with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through. Begin brushing with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of grilling. Remove to a platter and sprinkle with the green onion. Garnish with grilled citrus.Recipe for Chicken Thighs Please?
Chicken thighs are great to cook with because they are so much more moist and flavorful than the breast! Here is one of my favorite recipes:





Teriyaki Chicken Thighs





6 - 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with seasoned salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic.


1 can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve liquid)


1 large bottle Teriyaki sauce with pineapple


1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped


1 yellow onion, peeled and cut into thick slices


1/2 cup sliced celery


1/2 cup sliced mushrooms


1/2 cup sliced carrots


1 box white rice





Cut thighs into bite sized chunks. Place in 1 cup teriyaki sauce for at least one hour to marinate. Heat 2 T vegetable oil in large saute pan. Add onion, mushrooms, celery, bell pepper, carrots, and chicken and saute until onion is limp and chicken is browned. Add remaining teriyaki sauce and bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 25 minutes. While chicken is cooking, prepare rice using pineapple juice as part of the liquid. Serve chicken over rice.
Favorite E-Z recipes you might want to try.


Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.





You can use any pieces....wings....breast...legs...thigh鈥?for these recipes.





COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)


(My personal favorites鈥?using this recipe


are the 鈥榳ings %26amp; ribs鈥?ummm good!)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot Wings';!





I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).


I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chopes鈥?.or boneless chops鈥r pork steaks鈥︹€hould be good!





Try little cocktail wieners/sausages鈥or appetizers鈥?.pork chops鈥?pork steaks. (Maybe Vienna Sausages??)











CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN





1 1/3 cups French鈥檚 Original French Fried Onions


4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves


1 egg, beaten





LIGHTLY CRUSH:





Onions in a plastic bag.





DIP:


Chicken in egg





COVER:


With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.





BAKE:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan.


Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired.


Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.








Mushroom Chicken





4 boneless/skinless chicken breast (or any pieces you like)


1 can cream of mushroom soup.


1 can water





Place chicken in crock pot (or sauce pan for stove top cooking)


mix soup %26amp; 1 can of water together


pour over chicken


cook on medium heat until boiling then reduce heat and cook until chicken is really tender %26amp; falling apart.





Serve over noodles or rice or dressing....or???
I like simple things.





1 10oz apricot preserves


1 small bottle of Russian salad dressing


1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix





Whiz all that up in the blender and pour over your chicken and bake at 350 for an hour or until chicken is done.
if you have a crock pot, you can put some crushed tomatoes, with seasonings with the thighs, and cook on low for about 4 hrs, simple and good, serve over rice,
soak in buttermilk and hot sauce equal parts then fry it up and you have some hot chicken
