Dinner Tonight: Jacques Pépin'S Spicy Ginger And Lemon Chicken Recipe
- 2 chicken legs, skin removed
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- Dash of salt
- Dash of dried thyme leaves
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 strips lemon zest
- 2 strips orange zest
- 2 teapsoons fresh ginger, minced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup sweet apple cider
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
- Mix together the salt, chili powder, ground cumin, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, and flour in a bowl. Coat the chicken legs in this mixture.
- Pour the olive oil into a large saute pan set over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
- Add the lemon zest, orange zest, fresh ginger, garlic, and sweet apple cider. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge any browned bits, and bring this to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce, along some green vegetables or maybe some rice. Sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
