Grilled chicken with Bacon Mustard Vinaigrette (Bobby Flay)


Hi
This is a Lovely Gift by a Lovely Friend from Melbourne.
Just before I went for my Penang trip, I had the pleasure to meet up with 2 bloggers (Zoe and Diana) whom I have known through blogging over a year.  The meeting was so fun. We had a great time chatting and laughing, and the sharing we had was so inspiring.  

There’s something wonderful about meeting someone in real life that you’ve already known online.  It’s just like an instant friend.  Do you agree with me? J


Ok now.  Look at this dish!  
Did it make you salivate?

I love this chicken recipe from Bobby Flay.  The ingredients used for marinate is so simple but it has tons of flavour that would sure delight you.

HAPPY COOKING!

INGREDIENTS
(For 4 servings)

Grilled Chicken
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast, about 6 ounces each
4 bone-inch chicken thights
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola Oil

Bacon Mustard Vinaigrette
1 tbsp              Canola Oil
½ pound         Applewood smoked slab bacon, cut into lardon
¼ cup              Red wine vinegar
1 heap tbsp    Dijon Mustard     
1 tsp                Clover Honey      
2 tbsp              Extra Virgin Olive Oil
                        Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
                        Parsley leaves, for garnish


METHOD

Grilled Chicken
Season the chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper.  Place on a baking sheet, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.  Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30mins before grilling and pat dry with paper towels.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.  Brush the chicken with canola oil.  Place the thighs/breasts on the grill.  Grill pan skin side down and cook slowly, until the skin is crisp and renders fat and pulls away from the grates easily, about 6 minutes. 


Turn over and continue cooking until bottom of the breast is golden brown and thighs/breasts are just cooked through.  Remove to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.  

Bacon Mustard Vinaigrette
Heat the canola oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add the bacon and slowly cook until the bacon is golden brown and crisp and the fat has rendered.  Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.


Heat the rendered fat in the sauté pan over low heat.  Whisk in the vinegar, mustard and honey and cook for 30 seconds, to warm through.


Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Add the bacon to the pan.  Serve a breast and thigh on each plate and lightly spoon the sauce over, garnish with parsley leaves.
