Chicken Deviled - It's Hot!

 

This was a fun recipe. It won Third Place in the national Fiery Food Contest in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is, of course, different than the one in my cookbook because I constantly try to improve things. I have marked the differences, as you may not want it as hot as the one in the contest.    Chef Elmo

2 Tsp salt  1 T Satan's Breath® Cajun Blend (1tsp in cookbook)  12 Chicken Breasts, deboned & skinless  1 T Satan's Breath® X-Hot Curry (1tsp in cookbook)  3 cans chicken consommé  3 T olive oil  1/3 cup chopped celery  1 Tsp butter  3 tennis ball sized onions, chopped  1 Lb No-Fat sour cream  1/3 cup flour  1 T minced garlic  2 Lb mushrooms, whole caps & chopped stems  1 bell pepper, chopped

Step1:    Put chicken consommé in pot, add chicken breasts, salt and both Satan's Breath products. Boil until the chicken is tender. Take chicken out of\f the consommé and set aside. Hold the consommé over to the side (you'll need it later).  Step 2:    Preheat the Wok and add 1 tablespoon olive oil, celery, onions, bell pepper, garlic, and mushrooms. Stir fry until onions are clear. Remove vegetables from the Wok and set aside. Save any juice left in the Wok.  Step 3:    In the same preheated Wok, add 2 more tablespoons of the olive oil, butter and flour. Brown flour until you have a good dark roux. Slowly add the consommé that you held in reserve from boiling the chicken until the roux is the consistency of melted ice cream  (If there is any consommé left, save it for the rice). Blend until smooth like a light cream (no lumps) and then add the sour cream.  Step 4:    Reduce heat under the roux and add the chicken and vegetables. Simmer over low Heat. Check seasonings and serve with yellow rice   Step 5:    Rice for the chicken.  

3 cups yellow rice (Par Excellence brand)  6 cups water  3 T butter  

Cook rice according to the instructions on the package. 

Wok Bar-B-Q Chicken

 2 T. olive oil
½ tsp. Satan’s Breath® Jalapeño Garlic
½ tsp. Satan's Breath® Cajun Blend
Salt (optional) If used sprinkle lightly
Sho-Nuff pepper sauce as needed
2 chicken breast halves per person

Wet the chicken breast with the Sho-Nuff. Then sprinkle the chicken heavy on each side. I think you will find you do not need the salt. When it is sprinkled with the garlic and Cajun blend, place it in a preheated wok with the 2 T. olive oil. Cook until done, and tender. This is a fantastic dinner and should be served with a nice fresh salad, and a nice crunchy bread.
(Option - Throw it on the charcoal grill or broiler.)

1 14 oz. can black eyed peas (optional)
3 lbs. chicken tenders
1 tsp. salt (optional)
1½ tsp. Satan's Breath® Cajun Blend
1 T. Cayenne pepper sauce
 

Salt and pepper chicken in the normal way to fry.  Now put enough olive oil in a wok and brown chicken tenders and cook till most done.  Remove from wok and set aside.  Drain and mash the black eyes peas and half the corn.  (You can put them in the blender with 1 T. corn juice.)  Put olive oil and butter in the wok.  When the butter has melted, add the flour and blend till smooth.  Add the mashed corn and peas.  Cook and stir so they will not stick.  Make a golden brown roux then add the chicken back in with the garlic, tomatoes, whole corn and onions.  Salt to taste.  if mixture is to stiff, add a little water.  Be sparing for this is the finish dish and suppose to look like a thick dish.  Let it simmer for 15 minutes to mix all the flavors.
Serves 6 to 8.  Good over rice. 

Jerk Chicken

 4 de-boned chicken breasts
2 eggs
4 oz. no fat sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup self-rising flour for wash
1 tsp. salt for wash
1/4 cup flour for gravy
1/2 tsp. salt for gravy
2 T. Satan's Breath® Jamaican Jerk
1 qt. Crisco oil
 

In a mixing bowl whip the buttermilk and eggs together to make a wash.  Now in a separate bowl add the flour, salt and Jerk Seasoning together and mix until it is blended evenly.   Pour 2 inches of the oil in a black cast iron skillet and preheat oil to about 350º F.  I use a thermometer.   Now dredge the chicken through the egg mix, then the flour mix.  Carefully put the four chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook until golden brown.  Pour all the grease out of the skillet except about 3T.   Make sure you leave any
crunch from the chicken in the pan too.  Now add 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. Jerk to the oil.  Stir constantly to keep from burning. Cook until a dark golden brown.  The combination above is excellent with Creamed potatoes, garden peas and cranberry sauce.  Don’t forget a hot biscuit.

Oven Fried Chicken

 1-family pack chicken thighs (22 to 23 pcs.)
¼ cup olive oil

2-T. Satan's Breath® Fried Chicken Stuff
Salt & pepper to taste. Not necessary.  (It’s optional)
 

Season sheet pan with ¼-cup olive oil and add a little garlic to season the oil.   Now remove chicken from freezer still frozen, remove wrapping and put on the sheet pan with the oil.
Mop the chicken on both sides with the olive oil, and sprinkle the frozen hunk of chicken with the two spices above.  Put chicken skin down on a preheated 400ºF. oven and bake for ½ hour to thaw.  Remove from oven, and break chicken pieces apart, baste with the drippings in the pan, then re-season.  Leave skin down and finish baking for a total of one hour.  At the end of the first hour, remove chicken from oven, turn skin side up, sprinkle with spices and bake for one more hour.  Chicken should be tender and juicy.  This recipe can be done with any of my spices.  Your choice of flavors.  Serve 8 to 10

(This is the minimum required for each 4 lbs. of meat.)  (If you like pain add ½ to 1 tsp. habanero pepper to the above mix.)  Now take a brush and mop all sides with the liquid mix.  Put on the grill. As you mop each side sprinkle with the dry X Hot Wing & Rib Rub.  Each time it is mopped with the liquid repeat the dry sprinkle to make a crust on the chicken wings & ribs.  Serves 4.  Figure 1 lb. per person.

Wrap with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for a period of 8 hours or overnight. When ready to cook, which I do at the last minute so it will be nice and hot when served. Start off with the olive oil in a preheated wok. Do the chicken first. When the chicken is done, add the onion slices, green beans. Stir-fry until the onions are limp, but still a little crunchy. When it is ready add the toss salad and the shrimp. Scrape any chipotle sauce left in the bowls into the wok. The shrimp should take only 4 or 5 minutes. Do not overcook.

 Marinade

4 cups left over toss salad

When ready to cook, which I do at the last minute so it will be nice and hot when served. Start off with the olive oil in a preheated wok. Do the chicken first. When the chicken is done, add the onion slices, green beans. Stir-fry until the onions are limp, but still a little crunchy. When it is ready add the toss salad and the shrimp.

Deep Fried Turkey or Ham

Heat oil to 400ºF.  Now slowly lower the turkey or ham into the oil.  Be very careful for the oil will try to boil over if done too fast.  When the temperature drops to 350ºF., hold that temperature to a constant 350ºF.  You will need a thermometer for the heat is very critical.
The rule of thumb is 3.5 minutes per pound.  The turkey needs to be thawed, but if it is thawed and very cold I allow 4 minutes per pound.  Just watch the turkey very carefully and do not allow it to burn.  Nothing is any worse than a burnt turkey at meal-time.  Overall time for a 20 pound turkey will be from 1 hr. 10 minutes to 1 hr. 20 minutes.
 

A GOOD MARINADE FROM "THE HOUSE OF SPICES"
1-pint of the same oil used to cook the turkey
2-T. Satan's Breath® Vindaloo
1 to 2 T. Satan's Breath® Cajun Blend
2-T Satan's Breath® Jalapeno Garlic
1-pint Satan's Breath® Breader & Hushpuppy Mix
 

Bring oil temp up to almost a boil on the top of the stove and whisk in the
in the spices.  Cut off the heat and let the spices steep for 20 minutes.
When cool enough put in your meat syringe and inject the turkey.  Inject
all parts and rub the inside of the cavity heavy.  Let the turkey sit in the refrigerator until ready to cook.  I leave mine in overnight.  When the oil is hot and ready to cook, take the turkey out, shoot a little more juice in it, rub the cavity again.   I dust it after rubbing the oil on the second time with a little Satan's Breath® Hush Puppy & Breader Mix inside and out.
It adds to the spicy taste and the crunch.
