Best Carlson Ranch Sage Chicken Recipes

SAGE-RUBBED CHICKEN WITH SPICY PEACH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the sage, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.
• Line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Using your hands, coat the chicken with the herb rub, getting under the skin as well. Place the rubbed chicken on the baking sheet skin-side up and let sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
• Combine the peach jam and red pepper jelly in a small pot and heat. Add more pepper jelly a little at a time to up the heat level, if desired.
• Spoon some peach glaze on top of the chicken pieces. Roast 15 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and baste with more glaze. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, another 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

SAGE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425*; then rinse chicken with cold water and blot dry. Rub chicken with salt and pepper. With fingers seperate (but do not completely detach) skin from flesh to form pocket. Ease sage leaves under skin; press gently to smooth skin back into place. If desired, insert toothpicks through skin and into flesh to keep skin stretched and help prevent shrinkage while cooking.
• In shallow casserole dish, arrange chicken skin side up; brush with butter. Bake, basting occasionally with pan drippings, until fork tender - about 40 minutes. Transfer to platter and keep warm.
• To pan drippings, add chicken broth & white wine, stir until blended and bring to boil and cook until reduced to 1/2. Skim any fat off top and spoon sauce over chicken.
• Garnish with sage leaves or other fresh herbs - Enjoy!

SAGE AND GARLIC ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240°C (475°F).
• Add butter, sage, lemon pepper and garlic in a bowl and combine.
• Using your fingers and a small, sharp knife, loosen skin of chicken from breasts and thighs.
• Slip butter mixture between skin and meat, spreading it evenly.
• Brush skin with chicken fat or oil and season cavity with salt and pepper to taste.
• Stuff with lemon, parsley, some of the carrots and 1 quartered onion.
• Tie legs together with kitchen twine.
• Put the other quartered onion and leftover carrots onto center of roasting pan and place chicken on top of them.
• Roast for 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 200°C (400°F).
• Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh reads 80°C (170°F), about 1 hour. This will be about 20 minutes less with a pound less chicken.

CARLSON RANCH SAGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Saute garlic in 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil with your Dutch sitting over 10-12 briquets. Brown the chicken, then add the onions, three cans of beer, and the soup. Arrange 14-16 briquets around the outside of the lid and cook for 1-2 hours. If your birds are old, plan on having a little more charcoal to add in order to cook them longer. After about 2 hours remove the charcoal from the lid and take the lid off the Dutch. Add the last can of beer, or whatever you're using for cooking liquid, to just cover the pieces of chicken. Add the egg noodles and stir them enough so they're covered with liquid. Place Dutch back in the fire pan over 12-14 briquets for 20-30 minutes, but do not put any charcoal on the lid. Let set 10-15 minutes before serving.A Back Country Guide to Outdoor Cooking Spiced with Tall Tales - Fowl & Fish
