Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken Breasts Recipe




Spicy Honey-Glazed Chicken Breasts Recipe

Ingredients:

1/4 cup/60ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup/125ml honey
2 teaspoon/10mls hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon/2ml chili powder
1 teaspoon/5ml lemon juice
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 4 pounds)
Salt
1 pineapple peeled, cored and cut into 8 thick rings

Directions:

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon/1 olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the honey, hot pepper sauce and chili powder and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and set aside.

Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Rub the chicken with the remaining 3 tablespoons/45ml olive oil and season with salt. Grill until well marked, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottoms are well marked and the chicken is cooked through, another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and brush with the reserved honey glaze. Cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, grill the pineapple until well marked on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken.

Pitted vs Unpitted Olives — Which Are Better?

Q. Are there any differences in flavor or texture among pitted and unpitted brine-cured  olives? A. To evaluate any differences between pitted and unpitted olives, we gathered both green and black brine-cured olives from deli sections at supermarkets, as well as olives packed in plastic and glass containers. After tasting many samples, it became clear that the pitted olives suffered on two counts: they tasted saltier and their flesh was mushier. They also lacked the complex, fruity flavors of the unpitted kind. Here's why: Before being packed for sale, fresh-picked olives are soaked in brine for periods of up to a year to remove bitterness and develop flavor. Once pitted, the olives are returned to the brine for packing, which can penetrate the inside of the olive and turn it mushy and pasty, as well as increase the absorption of salt. That saltier taste can mask subtler flavors. If you have the time, it makes sense to buy unpitted olives and pit them yourself...

The History Of Mustard

Mustard was around thousands of years before Grey Poupon BY  PEGGY TROWBRIDGE FILIPPONE Mustard, a member of the Brassica family of plants, bears tiny round edible seeds and tasty leaves. Its English name, mustard ,  is derived from a contraction of the Latin  mustum ardens  meaning "burning must ."  This is a reference to the spicy heat of the crushed  mustard seeds  and the French practice of mixing the ground seeds with  must,  the young, unfermented juice of wine grapes. The condiment mustard is made from the seeds of the mustard plant. The seeds aren't flavorful until they are cracked, after which they are mixed with a liquid to become prepared mustard. The culinary history of mustard as a condiment is extensive. History of Mustard as a Condiment As a condiment, mustard is ancient. Prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to the early Romans, who used to grind mustard seeds and mix them with wine into a past...
