Vermont Maple-Glazed Free Range Chicken with Roasted Vegetables, Potato Pancakes and Applesauce image

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 whole roasting chicken, (freerange birds are always tastier)
2 large carrots --peeled and cut into 1- inch pieces
2 ribs of celery--cut into linch pieces
1 large onion, or 2 small ones-- peeled and cut into eighths
1 can of chicken broth
1/2 cup of real Vermont maple syrup
1 tablespoon chopped thyme-- dry is good, fresh is better
salt and pepper
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and soaked in salted water
1 egg
1 small red onion, fine dice
3/4 cup flour
Salt
White pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Canola oil for sauteing
6 Cortland apples, peeled, cored and diced
3 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  • Once you've prepared all of your vegetables, toss them together with the thyme and some salt and pepper. Put the veggies into a 2-inch deep roasting pan.
  • Wash the bird inside and out and dry with a towel. Sprinkle it all over with salt and pepper. Rub a couple of teaspoons of olive oil all over the skin. Place it on top of the vegetables. Put it into the oven.
  • Pour the stock and syrup into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce it by half: Use this mixture to baste the chicken generously and frequently.
  • While the chicken is cooking, make the pancakes and the applesauce.
  • Grate the potatoes in the food processor. Put them in a bowl and add the egg and onion. Mix slightly. Add the flour and mix some more, but not too much. Add the salt and white pepper and olive oil. Mix a little more.
  • Heat the Canola oil in a nonstick pan. When it starts to smoke a little, add one sixth of the mixture. Turn down the heat to medium. When the potatoes start to brown around the edges, flip them over and cook for almost 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat until you are out of batter. You may hold these warm and put them in the oven just before you sit down for dinner
  • Cook the apples on the stovetop with a little water and the sugar. When soft, mash with a potato masher or puree in the food processor for a smoother sauce.
  • FINISHING UP AND SERVING:
  • You will know that the chicken is done when the leg moves somewhat freely and the juices are running clear between the breast and the thigh. Take it out of the oven, move it to the cutting board and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
  • While the bird is resting, spoon the veggies into a serving dish and keep warm. Put the roasting pan with the cooking juices on the stove and add 1/2 cup of white wine. Reduce all of this together just a little and pass in a pitcher with the chicken. Carve the chicken into large pieces; cut the pancake into wedges. Top with warm applesauce. Serve all family style and enjoy.
  • For a quicker dinner you may roast a whole cut up chicken, basting all pieces in the same manner. You will have to cut the vegetables into smaller pieces so that they are done when the chicken is

CURRY CHICKEN WITH APPLESAUCE



Curry Chicken With Applesauce image

If you are a curry lover, then this is a recipe that you will really like. The sauce can be made a day ahead and chilled, just rewarm on top of the stove, and add in the chicken, peas, sour cream and coconut milk, simmer and serve. Actually, the sauce is even better if prepared a day ahead as the flavors will intensify. You can also make this with skin on or off chicken pieces, but increase the cooking time.

Applesauce chicken is a delicious and healthy recipe that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken and sweet and tangy applesauce is a crowd-pleaser that is sure to impress your guests. If you are looking to make this dish at home, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. In this article, we will be giving you some tips for making the perfect applesauce chicken recipe.

Tip 1: Choose the right applesauce

The first step to making a great applesauce chicken recipe is to choose the right type of applesauce. There are a variety of applesauce options available in the market, but not all of them are suitable for this recipe. Look for unsweetened, natural applesauce that does not contain any added flavors or sugars. You want the natural sweetness of the apples to shine through in the recipe.
Tip 1.1: Make your own applesauce
An even better option is to make homemade applesauce. This is a simple process that involves cooking peeled, chopped apples with water, cinnamon and sugar (if desired), until they are soft and mushy. Homemade applesauce is healthier as it contains no preservatives or artificial sweeteners. Plus, you can tailor the sweetness to your taste buds.

Tip 2: Use boneless chicken

When making applesauce chicken, it is best to use boneless chicken. Chicken breasts or thighs work well for this recipe. Boneless chicken ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and quickly. It also makes it easier to serve and eat.
Tip 2.1: Pound the chicken
To ensure that your chicken cooks evenly, you can pound it with a meat mallet. This will result in a thin and even layer of chicken, which will cook quickly and absorb the flavors of the applesauce.

Tip 3: Marinate the chicken

Marinating the chicken in the applesauce is an essential step in this recipe. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. Ideally, you should marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator. The acids in the applesauce help to tenderize the chicken, making it moist and flavorful.
Tip 3.1: Add spices
To enhance the flavor of your applesauce marinade, you can add spices like garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, and thyme. This will add depth and complexity to the dish.

Tip 4: Add vegetables

To make your applesauce chicken recipe even healthier, you can add vegetables like carrots, onions, and bell peppers to the dish. These vegetables not only add flavor and texture but also provide essential nutrients.
Tip 4.1: Cut the veggies into similar sizes
When adding vegetables to the dish, it is important to cut them into similar sizes to ensure that they cook evenly. This also makes it easier to serve.

Tip 5: Cook the chicken properly

Cooking the chicken properly is crucial to the success of the recipe. Overcooked chicken can be tough and dry, while under-cooked chicken can be unsafe to eat.
Tip 5.1: Use a meat thermometer
To ensure that your chicken is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tip 6: Let the chicken rest

Once you have cooked the chicken, it is important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful chicken.
Tip 6.1: Cover the chicken
While the chicken is resting, cover it with foil to keep it warm. This will also prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion

Applesauce chicken is a delicious and healthy recipe that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this article, you can make the perfect applesauce chicken that is flavorful, juicy and healthy. Remember to choose the right applesauce, use boneless chicken and marinate the chicken properly. You can also add vegetables to make the dish even more healthy and nutritious. Finally, remember to cook the chicken properly and let it rest before serving. With these tips, you are sure to impress your guests with your delicious applesauce chicken recipe.
