Best Grilled Chicken With Red Onion Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH RED ONION

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer chicken to a large shallow baking dish. Add the garlic, the wine, and the olive oil. Toss to combine, and cover dish with plastic wrap. Marinate, refrigerated, 1 hour to overnight.
• Heat grill until medium hot. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken with the salt and pepper, and arrange pieces on grill. Cook until chicken is dark golden-brown on bottom, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn pieces over, and cook until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a sharp knife, 15 to 20 minutes more.
• Place onion and lemon rounds on the cooler area of the grill; cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken, lemon, and onions to a serving platter. Garnish with parsley, and serve.

HONEY MUSTARD AND RED ONION BARBECUED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or griddle over medium high heat.
• Pour 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into a small saucepan over moderate heat. Add red onions and saute 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and cook 1 minute to incorporate. Whisk in broth and honey mustard, allspice and curry. Bring sauce to a bubble and reduce heat to lowest setting.
• Coat chicken with a drizzle of oil and salt and pepper, to your taste. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 4 or 5 minutes, then turn. Baste chicken liberally with sauce and cook another 5 minutes. Turn once again and baste. Cook 2 or 3 minutes more to cook through and transfer chicken to a platter and serve.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.
