Spatchcock Korean BBQ Chicken

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner
Keyword Chicken, Poultry, Whole Chicken
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 3 to 4 pound whole frying chicken
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • Cooked rice optional for serving
  • Toasted sesame seeds for garnishing
  • 2 green onions white and light green parts, finely chopped

For the Korean BBQ Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Gochujang paste
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 green onions white and light green parts finely chopped

Instructions

  • Pat dry the chicken dry with paper towels to make it easier to move and spatchcock. Flip the chicken over so it is breast-side down. Use kitchen shears to cut out the back bone: Starting from the tail-end of the chicken, cut along one side of the back bone, then repeat on the other side to remove the backbone. Keep the cuts as close to the spine as possible — this may require a little more pressure above the thigh bone. Flip the chicken so it is now breast-side up. Use the heel of your hands to press down on the breast bone to flatten the chicken. You may hear a crack as you press. Season the chicken inside and out with kosher salt.
  • Heat a gas or charcoal for two-zone cooking. For a gas grill this may look like turning one or two burners to high and the others to medium low. For a charcoal grill, light the coals in a chimney starter and pour the hot coals into one side of the grill.
  • Make the Korean BBQ sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onion in a small bowl.
  • Grill the chicken breast side down over high heat for 10 minutes, keeping an eye out for flare ups. The skin should get crispy and browned in some areas.
  • Use two sets of tongs to flip the chicken over onto the cooler area of the grill and adjust the heat to maintain a lower temperature (roughly 350 degrees F). Cook for 25 minutes. When the chicken is golden brown and about 140 degrees in the thickest part of the breast. Begin basting with the sauce every 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken and create a glaze on the chicken’s skin. Cook for 10 to 15 additional minutes until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Rest the chicken for 10 minutes. Serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

New York City-Style Porterhouse Steak With Mâitre d' Hotel Butter

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner
Keyword Beef, Porterhouse, Steak
Cook Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 2-inch thick porterhouse steak, at least 2 pounds total
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 medium red onion peeled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Mâitre d' Hotel Butter

  • 4 ounces 1 stick high-quality butter, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Remove the porterhouse steak from the fridge at least an hour before cooking. Season the steak liberally with the salt as soon as it comes out of the fridge. 
  • You can make the Mâitre d’ Hotel Butter several days in advance. Mix together the butter, lemon juice, parsley, and salt in a medium mixing bowl with a spatula. Cut a piece of parchment paper in half so you have something close to a printer paper sheet (8×11). Spoon the butter across the length of a piece of parchment — make sure you leave about 2 inches between the butter and the end of the paper. Roll the parchment over the butter and pull to round the butter into a log. Tightly wrap around the remaining parchment. Chill this mixture for at least 30 minutes. 
  • Heat a broiler to high and move an oven rack to about 6-inch under the broiler. Coat the onion halves in olive oil and place them on a baking sheet and set this on another oven rack under the first. Set the steak on the rack directly under the broiler and broil for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until they have a nice burnished sear. Remove the steak from the broiler and set aside to rest for at least 10 minutes.
  • Preheat a cast iron skillet under the broiler while the steak rests. After resting, slice the steak off the bone and into finger-thick slices (about 1/2 inch). Return the bone and then the steak pieces to the skillet. Top with a few thick slices of the butter and return to the broiler. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes or until cooked to medium rare.

Crispy Colossal Jalapeño Corndogs

Author Mark & Fey
Course Appetizer, Dinner, Lunch
Keyword Appetizer, Frying
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 20 ounce bag cornbread mix, such as Bob's Red Mill
  • 1 cup crisp rice cereal such as Rice Krispies
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 stick 4 ounces salted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 medium jalapenos finely chopped
  • 4 hot dogs
  • Special equipment: wooden skewers
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 quarts peanut oil for frying

For the Chipotle crema drizzle

  • 1 cup crema also labeled Mexican Table Cream
  • 2 Chipotles in Adobo
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the canned Chipotle
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  • Make the batter for the corn dogs by whisking together the cornbread mix, Rice Krispies, two heavy pinches of salt and the baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk up the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, buttermilk, and butter to the eggs. Combine the wet with the dry and mix until well combined. Add the olive oil and jalapeno and set aside while you set up for frying and make the crema. Thread a skewer into each hot dog and roll the hot dogs in a bit of flour (this helps the batter stick). Pour the oil into a large heavy bottomed pan and heat to 375 degrees F over medium high heat. Make the crema by combining the crema, chipotles, adobo, and lime juice in a small bowl and whisk to combine. When the oil is hot, work one hotdog at a time to coat the hotdog with the batter (you may need to use clean hands to press the thick batter onto the dog). Gently add the corndog to the hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the corndog is deeply browned and the batter is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining hotdogs. Serve the corn dogs with the Chipotle drizzle and fresh cilantro, if desired

  • Make the Calabrian chili mayo by whisking together the mayo, garlic, chilis and their oil. Chill this while you grill the sausages and vegetables. Heat a large griddle or grill to two-zone medium high heat. If you’re working with a griddle, sauté the peppers and onions directly on the griddle. On the grill, use your largest cast iron skillet. Cook until the onions and peppers start to take on some color, then add a few tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Move over indirect heat to soften. Grill the sausages over direct heat, turning every 3 minutes until golden and cooked through, about 12 minutes total. Build the heroes by piling a heap of the peppers and onions on each sausage topping with a slice of provolone and then cover to melt the cheese.

  • Mix together the dredge for the shrimp. Combine the flour, potato starch, and Salt Pepper + Three Chiles in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and Japanese BBQ sauce. Toss the shrimp with the egg mixture and a few tablespoons of the dredge. Set this aside while you heat the oil for frying.
  • Heat a quart of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Toss the shrimp with the remaining dredge flour and drop one-by-one into the oil. Adjust the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crispy. Remove the shrimp from the oil and season immediately with more salt. Cool the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes then toss with the Creamy Spicy Sauce. Garnish with more Japanese BBQ sauce and sesame seeds for serving.
