Hi guys, Michael Weldon here, tonight I'm gonna show you my trick to making a super crispy chicken. I’m gonna serve that with a romesco sauce and then just some beautiful broccoli lightly fried in a pan.
The first thing we’re do is start prepping our chicken. So we’re gonna butterfly our chicken, so then I just flatten my chicken out, just a nice drizzle of olive oil on the bottom of the pan. Now no salt on the skin side, but we can season the cut side of our chicken and then all we do is lie it flat in our pan and we’re gonna fry that for about 8 to 10 minutes until our chicken is golden brown and starting to really crisp up.
And now it's time to make a really quick romesco sauce. So I’ve 1 jar of red peppers , ¼ cup of almonds, I’ve then got a bit of thyme as well, just gonna zip that of the stalk. Then some extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and one garlic clove. You just want to blend this until it’s nice and smooth. Smells absolutely wonderful. To Season it, just a little splash, one teaspoon of white wine vinegar. All we’re gonna do now is chuck onto our chicken. Our chicken is cooked on our skin side, so we’re gonna go in to our oven at 180 degrees. The chicken has been in the oven for 20 minutes, absolutely prefect. You can see nice and golden on the bottom and that beautiful red romesco sauce on the top. We’re just gonna now let that rest and just chill and those juices distribute, so it’s nice and juicy when we cut into it.
While we do that we wanna just fry off our broccolini. So, olive oil in a pan and then I just got some really thinly sliced garlic. We go straight in with our broccolini. Season of sea salt. I’ve thinly sliced some lemon here, we’re gonna lay that over the top as well. They didn't see so often lost. Elevenia realized that over the top as well. We're almost ready to plate up.
And that is my dish of crispy skin romesco roast chicken, this will feed a family of 4 for under $20 so not only is it delicious but it's very affordable. For this recipe and loads of others you have to check out the coles and co website. Thank you very much for watching guys and happy eating.
