Рецепт Deviled Chicken
This deviled chicken tastes awesome and it gets it’s great flavor from pantry staples.
Chicken Never Tasted So Good
One thing I love to do is look at the New York Times’ recipe app. There’s lots of great food there but a lot of recipes use ingredients I can no longer get as easily as I could when I lived in NYC. I still enjoy looking and get some great ideas there.
However, one recipe caught my eye because it used things I already had on hand. I made up the basic recipe but tweaked it slightly because I felt it needed some sweet elements to offset the sour.
I played that hunch and this turned out to be one of the best chicken dishes I have ever made! The only reason I didn’t glom the entire thing was I promised a friend a couple of pieces!
Use A Great Dijon Mustard
The bulk of this deviled chicken’s flavor comes from dijon mustard, so it’s essential to use a great-tasting one.
Maillard and Grey Poupon are good choices, but you’ll never believe that the best-tasting dijon mustard I’ve found is the humble Great Values brand you find in Walmart! Yes, it’s true! I discovered that years ago when I needed quite a bit of dijon mustard for my Maple Dijon Chicken. That’s when I discovered that this brand tasted a whole lot better to me than the more expensive brands.
No Shallots? Substitute Onion
I happen to have had a shallot on hand, but if you don’t then plain old onion will do.
However, I strongly suggest buying shallots for this recipe because it added a superb flavor. Shallots (to me) taste like mild onion mixed with garlic and is slightly smoky. Onions don’t have that full flavor element, but in a pinch they will do.
Treat Yourself To Some Fresh Parsley
Another thing I always have on hand is fresh parsley. This recipe called for it.
During the warm weather, I grow it and when it peters out, I buy the Italian flat leaf. I love the flavor and I will also use it as a garnish in my photography. If I don’t use the whole bunch I buy, I finely chop it and place it on a paper plate–the air will dehydrate it naturally and the best part is, it keeps it’s deep-green color for a long time.
