It doesn't matter what difficulty it is...What are some recipes for chicken?
ORANGE CHICKEN


1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs , trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces


3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth


3/4 cup orange juice , fresh-squeezed


1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest , grated


8 slices orange peel


6 tablespoons distilled white vinegar


1/2 cup dark brown sugar , firmly packed


1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce


1 tablespoon garlic , minced


1 tablespoon fresh ginger , grated


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1 tablespoon cornstarch


2 tablespoons cold water


8 small dried red chilies , whole (optional)


3 large egg whites


1 cup cornstarch


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1 teaspoon baking soda


cooking spray


Place chicken in 1-gallon zipper-lock bag; set aside. Combine chicken broth, orange juice, grated zest, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and cayenne in large saucepan (with at least 3-quart capacity); whisk until sugar is fully dissolved. Measure out 3/4 cup mixture and pour into bag with chicken; press out as much air as possible and seal bag, making sure that all pieces are coated with marinade. Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes, but no longer. Bring remaining mixture in saucepan to boil over high heat. In small bowl, stir together cornstarch and cold water; whisk cornstarch mixture into sauce. Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until thick and translucent, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in orange peel and chiles (sauce should measure 1 1/2 cups); set sauce aside. Place egg whites in pie plate; using fork, beat until frothy. In second pie plate, whisk cornstarch, cayenne, and baking soda until combined. Drain chicken in colander or large mesh strainer; thoroughly pat chicken dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place half of chicken pieces in egg whites and turn to coat; transfer pieces to cornstarch mixture and coat thoroughly. Place dredged chicken pieces on wire rack set over baking sheet; repeat with remaining chicken. Arrange chicken pieces on baking sheet lined with non-stick foil. Spray with cooking oil spray. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Reheat sauce over medium heat until simmering, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and gently toss until evenly coated and heated through. Serve immediately.

WORLD'S BEST ROAST CHICKEN


One 6 to 7 lb. roasting chicken


3 to 4 small lemons


1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. coarse or kosher salt


1 tsp. paprika


2 large garlic cloves, pressed


2 cups water


Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Remove the giblets and excess fat from the cavity of the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, in cold water, and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Roll the lemons on a countertop to soften them. Then pierce each lemon in about 20 places with a skewer or a toothpick. In a small bowl, use a spoon to mash the salt, paprika and garlic into a paste. Rub half the paste inside the chicken's cavity. Then cram in as many of the lemons as will fit. Truss the chicken if you like; it isn't essential. Rub the rest of the paste all over the outside of the chicken. Place the chicken on a greased rack and put the rack into a greased roasting pan. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan.


Bake the chicken for about 45 to 60 minutes per pound. (Don't worry, this is the correct amount.) As the water evaporates, add more. Take the lemons out before you bring the chicken to the table; they won't be very attractive at this point. Serve the chicken with the pan juices. Makes a meal for 6, plus leftovers.








Grilled Chicken Tostadas


MARINADE:


1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 3 to 4 limes)


1/4 cup soy sauce


1/4 cup vegetable oil (plus more for brushing the tortillas)


1 tablespoon honey


2 teaspoons minced garlic


1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder


TOSTADAS


6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 ounces each)


8 small corn tortillas (5 to 6 inches in diameter)


1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack, or more if desired


1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce


Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, green onions


Place the chicken thighs in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and add all the marinade ingredients. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Turn the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, place it in a bowl, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), turning the bag occasionally. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 20 minutes before you want to start grilling. Prepare a charcoal fire or set a gas grill to medium-high, close the lid, and heat until hot -- about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the thighs from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken until it's no longer pink inside, about 4 to 5 minutes per side on a gas grill. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before cutting it into 1/2-inch strips. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with vegetable oil. Grill them on each side until they turn slightly brown, about 1 minute on a gas grill. Before removing the tortillas from the grill, sprinkle each one with 1 tablespoon of cheese. To serve, layer the tortillas with shredded lettuce, the chicken strips, the remaining cheese, and any additional toppings. Serves 6 to 8.
