Time 12h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
4 serrano chilies, with seeds, thinly sliced
3 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 lemons, sliced, plus wedges for serving
6 sprigs thyme
8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 3½ lb.)

Steps:

  • Whisk garlic, chiles, ginger, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, and salt in a medium bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Add lemon slices and thyme. Place marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Turn to coat, and chill at least 12 hours.
  • Heat oven to 450°. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and place, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°, 25-30 minutes. Serve chicken with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

WEDDING CHICKEN

This is a very special recipe: I developed and wrote it for my wedding day. The marinade is fantastic: I've marinated chicken thighs in it for 24 hours, but 48 is optimal. Don't forget to serve with a few pieces of the roasted lemon-that's the best part.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3.5-inch piece of ginger
4 serrano peppers
10 cloves garlic
2 lemons, preferably organic
8 chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
6 sprigs thyme
1 cup olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the marinade: Using a spoon, scrape away the ginger peel, then slice into coins; stack the coins and cut into uniform matchsticks. Thinly slice the peppers and lemons; roughly chop the garlic. Set aside.
  • Marinate the chicken: Place a zip-top bag into a baking dish and add the chicken, salt, sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Squeeze the juice from the sliced lemons into the bag, then add the lemons, garlic, ginger, peppers, thyme sprigs, and olive oil. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients inside the bag. Then seal the bag and chill for 12-48 hours to allow all the flavors to meld and permeate the chicken.
  • Cook the chicken: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Evenly arrange chicken thighs skin side up in a roasting pan and pour marinade over the top. Season with salt and pepper and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. Serve with pan juices and pieces of the cooked lemon.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FISH-SAUCE BUTTER



Roasted Chicken With Fish-Sauce Butter image

Roasting chicken thighs in a hot oven is a hands-off way to achieve two of life's greatest pleasures: crispy skin and golden schmaltz. And you want that chicken fat because it will crisp hand-torn bread into croutons. This meal is made even more lovely thanks to a bold but balanced fish-sauce butter that you whip up on the stovetop while the rest of the meal takes care of itself in the oven. Be sure to start with cold butter; the gradual melting of the fat helps thicken the sauce without breaking it.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound bread, crusts removed, bread torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups; see Tip)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, kept whole
Cilantro leaves with tender stems, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper. (The fish-sauce butter is plenty salty, so don't overdo the salt here.) Arrange the chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan and drizzle the oil over the chicken skin, coating it evenly. Roast until the chicken is light gold and the sheet pan is pooling with hot, rendered chicken fat, about 25 minutes.
  • Take the sheet pan out of the oven, scatter the bread around the chicken and toss gently to coat in the chicken fat. Place the pan back in the oven and roast until the chicken is golden, crispy and sizzling (you'll hear it), about 15 minutes.
  • While the chicken roasts, combine the brown sugar, fish sauce and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, occasionally swirling the pan or stirring the sauce with a wooden spoon, until bubbling vigorously and the mixture has reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes. This part is fun: Turn off the heat and add the butter, constantly swirling the pan or stirring with a wooden spoon, until all of the butter has melted and incorporated into the fish sauce mixture.
  • To serve, scatter the cilantro all over the chicken and bread and spoon some of the fish-sauce butter over each chicken thigh, reserving some to add to each plate for dipping the chicken and croutons while eating (which is divine).
