Chicken And Chickpeas with Turmeric, Cumin, and Lemon

edited February 2019 in Poultry
Another recipe from “The Failing New York Times”.

This was done in the oven but I can see this being a killer BGE recipe. 

Chicken Marinated in Greek Yogurt, Turmeric, Lemon Juice, salt, and pepper

Chickpeas with EVOO, turmeric, cumin, salt and pepper. 

Onions pickled in in lemon juice salt and pepper. 

Fire in the hole:




And shes done:



All plated up:



The verdict? Really good and super easy. I did breasts instead of whole chicken. Was ready in 30 min (after the marinade step) and used one sheet pan. Great weekday meal and would work very well in a bge.

    That is the one. I tried to post from my phone and it was behind a paywall for some reason. Thanks for saving me a run up to my laptop.

    That looks fantastic, and will fit nicely in the current Team Stone repertoire. 

    Nicely done!

    That looks wonderful! And that plated shot... wow!

    For those of us who are too cheap to subscribe to the NYT, is this the same recipe? Or close enough? Thanks!

    From cooking.nytimes.com:

    Ingredients

    • 1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, cut into parts (alternatively, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds of bone-in, skin-on chicken parts, such as breasts, thighs and legs)
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 1 ½ cups full-fat Greek yogurt, divided
    • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
    • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric, divided
    • 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    • 1 tablespoon fennel seed
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 large red onion, thinly sliced, divided
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • ½ cup mint or cilantro leaves, torn

    Preparation

    1. Season chicken parts with salt and pepper.
    2. Combine 3/4 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon turmeric and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. (It should be on the salty side, as this is a marinade.) Add chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at least 30 minutes at room temperature, and up to overnight in the refrigerator.
    3. Place oven rack on the top third of the oven and heat to 425 degrees.
    4. Combine chickpeas, fennel seed, cumin, remaining teaspoon of turmeric and half the red onion slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
    5. Move chickpeas to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Scrape any excess marinade off the chicken, and place the chicken parts in the center. Place baking sheet in oven and bake, tossing chickpeas occasionally, until the skin of the chicken is evenly browned and the chickpeas are golden and starting to crisp, 45 to 50 minutes.
    6. Meanwhile, toss remaining onion slices with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
    7. Combine remaining yogurt with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
    8. Once chicken is ready, scatter with lemony onions and mint or cilantro. Serve with seasoned yogurt alongside as a sauce.

    I used 2 bone in chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken so I made half of the marinade (it was the perfect amount). It was ready in 30 minutes and probably should have been pulled in 25. If using only breasts, I recommend checking in 15 min and tossing the chickpeas so they crisp up on all sides.

    Nice!!

    Looks like a non-sauced version of chicken chholey (Pakistani dish; spelling varies), which is also very good over rice, or with naan.

    I don’t pay for it. They keep serving me stuff on facebook and I’ve tried a few. This one was good and the Chicken Shwarma I tired (also posted on here) were good.

    I do subscribe and in my opinion it is well worth it.  Quite a library of recipes to draw from.  And as importantly a very active discussion section at the end of each recipe.  Having numerous comments, suggestions, and tips from readers who have made the recipes is invaluable in my opinion.  While I tend to stick pretty closely to a recipe the first time I make it I find user input extremely helpful in improving some of these recipes.

    So nice we did it twice. Whole spatched bird this time and we cooked it 15 min before adding chickpeas and cauliflower to the sheet (Cauliflower was new this time too). This was even better than the last.

    The meal looks awesome!! How in the hell did you keep from killing the inside of the oven?   I tried CI splayed chicken in the oven and almost got banned from cooking inside.

    That looks awesome. I love chickpeas and always look for new ways to prepare them. Have been dry-searing in a pan with Indian spices, but roasting has now jumped to #1 on my list!  (And the spatch ain’t shabby at all either!!)

    Hmmm- didn’t notice anything messy about it. No different than doing a roasted chicken which we do all the time with no crazy mess.

    Not dumb at all. They get a little crispy on the outside but soft in the middle.

    Tried this the other Sunday.  It was very good. I overcooked it a little though.
    Definitely will do again.
