Best Chicken Vermicelli Recipes

VERMICELLI WITH SPICY CHICKEN LIVER-TOMATO

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until the onions are tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chicken livers and brandy. Return the pan to the heat and shake the pan to ignite. Cook until livers are lightly browned on all sides but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, bay leaf, black pepper and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir well, then let the sauce come to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk in the cream and basil. Season with salt and pepper and, if the sauce seems overly acidic, add the sugar.
• Meanwhile, in a kettle or large saucepan, bring 5 quarts of water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Remove the bay leaf from the chicken liver sauce and discard the leaf. Toss the pasta with some of the tomato sauce, then divide among serving plates. Top each serving with more sauce and some of the chicken livers. Pass the cheese at the table.

LUCKY'S CHICKEN ROASTED WITH VERMICELLI AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Add one teaspoon of the salt to the cup of water and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the half-cup of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic to the warm oil and saute very gently until the garlic starts to brown. Watch carefully, because the minced garlic can quickly turn from "starting to brown" to burned - and the acrid taste and flavor of burned garlic is undesirable. As soon as the garlic starts to brown, add the salted water and cook over medium heat until almost all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Bring a pot of water large enough to contain the egg vermicelli to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the pasta. Cook for just 30 seconds. Drain immediately and refresh the pasta under cold running water. Drain well and combine the pasta with the garlic mixture.
• Divide the vermicelli into six equal mounds in a roasting pan just large enough to accommodate all the chicken halves. Brush the chicken halves with virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place a chicken half on top of each mound of vermicelli and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the edges of the vermicelli are browned and crispy. If vermicelli does not brown sufficiently on the edges, remove the excess chicken fat from the roasting pan and place the pan under a preheated broiler for one to three minutes to brown.
• With a slotted spatula, lift each chicken half with its vermicelli onto a heated serving dish. Serve immediately.
