Based on the classic Chicken Kiev, this simple meal teaches us to remove the bone from a chicken thigh. Then replace it with ham and cheese, like the well known favorite. A unique and tasty main dish that will give you a
feeling of accomplishment!
Ingredients:
4
chicken thighs
½
lbs of thick sliced ham
½
lbs of sliced Gruyere cheese
½
tsp smoky paprika
salt
& pepper
½
cup cornstarch
plain
cotton string
cooking
spray
Directions:
Lay
out a sheet of waxed paper on the counter and get out a clean cutting
board. Slave likes to use one that can be sterilized because raw
poultry can really make you sick. Keep washing your hands!
Now
this may look complicated but it is fairly simple once you get used
to it. We'll walk through it step by step.
Don't
be intimidated by cutting.
Lay
the thigh skin side down
Cut
down the length of the bone.
Working
on the bottom side of the chicken thigh, make the cut from the top
end of the thigh down to the bottom, cutting as close to the bone as
possible. Work carefully, though, since you do not want to cut
straight through to the other side of the thigh.
Remove
any cartilage or grizzle.
Sometimes, bone fragments and gristle can be left behind no matter
how careful you have been. Inspect the chicken thigh for any of these
types of debris and cut them away.
This
is easy, just remember:
You
might need to cut using a slightly sawing motion.
Keep
the knife as close to the bone as possible to avoid losing more meat
than necessary.
Never
cut
toward your fingers since the knife does not know the difference
between chicken and human!
Remember
turn the piece of meat around – don't try to walk around the meat!
Check
for gristle and bone fragments.
Mix
seasonings with ½ cup cornstarch and dust each side of every piece.
Let them sit on the wax paper while you pre heat the oven to
400 degrees. The
cornstarch will dry out the skin. This gives crunchy skin, so let it
do its work.
While
you wait for the oven go ahead and cut 8 pieces of string equal
length to tie around each piece.
Slice
4 pieces of ham and cheese into ½ inch wide strips slightly shorter
than the width of the thighs. Stack each (alternating) into short
sticks.
Lay
the thighs, powdered skin side down on the wax paper. Replace the
bone with a stick of ham & cheese. Fold or roll up the thigh
around this.
With
string, tie the rolls up, including one tied end to end so the
insides don't melt and run out while roasting.
Place
in a foil lined baking pan and give the tops a slight spray with
cooking spray.
Roast
at 400
to an internal temperature of 165°F,
about
45-55 minutes.
Check
with thermometer! Remove from oven and let
sit while you
do any green vegetables in the microwave.
Then
cut off the string before placing on platter to serve. NEVER serve
while it is still has string on it – that would imply your guest
needs to floss! How rude!
Serve
with rice and a green vegetable.
So
happy to be serving my Master Indy
