PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS
Since my childhood days, my idea of a fried chicken was any chicken which looks like a chickenjoy. I only wanted chicken with a crispy skin and a crispy coating. (It was really yummy tho!). And now that I’m an adult, I then started to appreciate chicken which are served on it’s natural look (no coating). My love for these type of chicken intensified when I tried different restaurants like Max’s Restaurant, Kenny Roger’s and Classic Savoury which served really good roasted chicken.
As your foodie buddy, I am always on my way in creating restaurant-style food in the home to share it with you. I came to this recipe when I created an adobo for lunch, and then fried some for dinner.
So with this recipe, we are not just marinating the chicken in order to incorporate the flavor. We will be simmering them in the flavorful liquid for a long time to make sure that all the flavors are captured by the chicken. And then, we pan roast it.
What I love about this dish is that you don’t need an oven or a grill to make some. When you have a pan, then you can make one!
I mostly use chicken for this recipe but you can also try this with pork and beef. If you wanna know how to make pan roasted chicken thighs, read and follow the simple steps below.
HOW TO COOK PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS
With just the name of the recipe, you can already have on idea on how to prepare this roasted chicken. As mentioned, all you will be needing is a regular pan.
The first step we should do is putting flavor into the chicken before roasting. Do this by making some slits in the chicken (so the flavor will be absorbed much better), and then simmering it first in a flavorful liquid until it becomes tender. Aside from the usual seasonings, I used some lemon soda in this recipe for some fruity sweetness to it.
When the chicken pieces are braised wonderfully and are now tender, it’s resting time! Yup, not yet roasting. Let us allow the chicken to rest so that the skin will become a bit dry so it can be much crispier for later.
Once rested, it’s roasting time! Simply fry the chicken pieces in shallow oil until the outside is crispy and golden and color.
The last step is getting your big bowl of hot rice and devour this super yummy and crispy pan roasted chicken thigh! I usually make some gravy with this but the chicken is actually already enough for me to have 2 bowls of rice! Yum!
