Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 firm nectarines (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced
1/2 cup torn fresh mint
1/4 cup salted roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high and prepare for indirect grilling: On a charcoal grill, bank the coals to one side. On a gas grill, turn off half the burners. Toss the chicken with the ginger, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 teaspoon each brown sugar, lime zest, lime juice and chili-garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill; cover and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Move to direct heat and cook, uncovered, flipping occasionally, until the skin is charred and crisp, about 5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil.
  • Add the nectarines, mint, peanuts and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl with the dressing; toss. Divide the chicken and nectarine salad among plates.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LIME-GINGER MAYO AND CARROT "RISOTTO"



Grilled Chicken with Lime-Ginger Mayo and Carrot

I'm a big fan of chicken thighs-they're particularly flavorful and almost impossible to mess up. You can cook these thighs on an indoor or outdoor grill, but if you use an outdoor grill, whether charcoal or gas, you'll want to keep one side hot and the other side cooler: With charcoal, just move the hot charcoals to one side of the grill; with a gas grill, heat one side on high heat and the other side on low heat. Either way you'll cook the chicken on the cooler side, where it will benefit from the indirect heat of the grill and stay tender and moist. I'm serving the thighs with what I call carrot risotto. It's not really risotto because there's no arborio rice involved, and it only takes a few minutes to cook. It's rice-sized pieces of carrot cooked in a risotto-style, and it's a great way to get extra vegetables onto the plate. Using bagged carrot chips or carrot sticks from the grocery store makes it easy to pull together.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons fresh lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Carrot "Risotto," recipe follows
1 lime, thinly sliced, for garnish
One 16-ounce bag carrot chips (or sticks)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup white wine
1/3 cup grated pecorino cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves (or carrot tops if you have them), finely chopped
Dice the carrot chips (or sticks) into small rice-sized pieces.

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs on a sheet pan and set aside.
  • Whisk together the lime zest and juice, mayonnaise, ginger, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the lime-ginger mayo all over the chicken thighs with a pastry brush. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high. Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165 degrees F, 12 to 16 minutes. (Cook the chicken covered if you're using an outdoor grill.) Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • To serve, spoon the Carrot Risotto onto a platter (garnish as described below), then top with the grilled chicken and garnish with thinly sliced lime.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Cook the butter until it is completely melted and just starts to turn golden-brown, then add the diced carrots and toss to coat in the butter. Cook the carrots until they begin to soften and caramelize slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth and wine. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has reduced by half and the carrots are tender. Lower the heat to medium and stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the pecorino (reserve the remaining cheese for garnish). Stir until the cheese is completely combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with the parsley and reserved cheese just before serving. Makes 4 servings.

GINGER-LIME CHICKEN



Ginger-Lime Chicken image

Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: It's buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe, which is a trick J. Kenji López-Alt has written about. When slathered on boneless chicken and cooked, the beloved condiment carries flavor, sticks to the meat well, encourages browning and prevents the pieces of lime zest and ginger - or whatever seasonings you choose - from burning. Try this technique first with ginger and lime zest, then experiment with grated garlic, jalapeño, lemon, Parmesan and whatever else you can imagine. Serve with a pile of white rice and a fresh green salad topped with thinly sliced avocado.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus lime wedges, for serving
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
  • To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
  • Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
