Best Malt Vinegar Glazed Chicken Recipes

VINEGAR-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high; melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add chicken; cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in vinegar, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan; cook 30 seconds. Add broth; simmer, turning chicken frequently, until cooked through and coated with sauce, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe skillet clean; heat over medium. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in chopped scallions; cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add corn; cook just to heat through, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese and milk. Cook, stirring, until cheese melts and simmers, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top chicken and corn with sliced scallions; serve, with arugula salad.

MALT VINEGAR-GLAZED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Glaze Combine all ingredients in a small heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze is thickened and reduced to 1/3 cup, 12-15 minutes. Strain into a small bowl. DO AHEAD: Glaze can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool. Cover and chill. Chicken Stir sugar, 1/3 cup salt, vinegar, thyme, and 1 cup water in a large pot over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Transfer to a large bowl; add 6 cups of cold water. Add chicken, weighing down with a plate to fully submerge if necessary. Cover; chill for 4 hours or, preferably, overnight. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (this makes cleanup a snap). Drain chicken; pat dry (do not rinse). Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, sear chicken until well browned all over, 7-8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to prepared sheet. Roast chicken for 15 minutes. Baste with glaze. Continue to roast, basting again after 5 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°, about 10 minutes longer. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

VINEGAR-GLOSSED CHICKEN

Steps:

• At least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking, combine the vinegar, garlic, and rosemary to marinate.
• Thoroughly season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat a 14-inch skillet (or two smaller skillets) over high heat and swirl in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Don't crowd the chicken; leave space around each piece. Work in batches if necessary. You should hear an immediate sizzle when the chicken pieces hit the pan. Don't move them; it takes a couple of minutes to sear the chicken so it doesn't stick. Brown all sides; this will take 10 minutes per batch. Regulate the heat so it stays high but does not burn the chicken. Place all the browned chicken back in the skillet.
• Add the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat, simmer, and reduce for 15 to 20 minutes. Increase the heat to high and pour in the vinegar mixture. Swirl the pan and stir around as the vinegar evaporates to form a simmering glaze, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately or refrigerate, and reheat with some extra broth.

MALT-GLAZED ROAST PORK & CRACKLING

Steps:

• Put the pork skin in a shallow bowl, add a pinch of salt and pour over the vinegar. Leave for 2 mins then place, skin-side up, on a wire rack set over a roasting tray. Set aside somewhere cool.
• Mix the nutmeg and thyme with 1 tbsp sea salt. Score the fat on the pork loin, rub the nutmeg spice all over, then put in the fridge for 1 hr. Meanwhile, put the honey in a small saucepan, cook until it's a dark caramel, then add the soy, stock and malt extract, bring back to the boil and simmer until reduced by about half.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the pork from the fridge, sit in a shallow roasting tray, brush with the warm glaze, then cook in the oven for 10 mins, glaze again and repeat the process four more times over the next hr.
• When the pork has 30 mins left, put the pork skin on a tray on the shelf above. After 1 hr, check the pork is cooked with a digital thermometer - it should be 68C or above. Remove from the oven, brush once more with the glaze and rest for about 20 mins while the pork skin crisps to crackling. Serve the pork on a large chopping board with the broken crackling. Serve with roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese.

SALT AND VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the cider vinegar, vegetable oil, egg, salt, and poultry seasoning. Place the chicken thighs in the bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish, and cover with about 1/4 of the marinade mixture.
• Bake chicken 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Drain off the marinade so that the chicken skin will become crisp (a baster works well for extracting the marinade). Continue baking 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
