Serves 4

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (about 3 pounds)
1/2 cup Whole Ranch marinade, such as Thai peanut, honey ginger soy or rosemary mint
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon 365 Everyday Value Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

Butterfly the chicken or cut in half lengthwise and arrange in a wide, shallow dish. Drizzle with marinade, season with salt and pepper, cover and chill 3 hours or overnight.

Oil grill and preheat to medium. Arrange chicken on grill, skin-side down. Rest a large sheet tray on top and weigh down with heatproof heavy objects such as bricks or cast iron skillets. Grill chicken until skin is golden brown and slightly charred in parts, about 15 minutes.

Carefully flip chicken, replace tray and weights and continue grilling until deep golden brown on the second side and a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 170°F, about 15 minutes more. Set aside to let rest for 10 minutes then serve.

It’s an item that you won’t even find on the current menu at this national restaurant chain. But ask your server what soups are available and this is a selection that’s available every day of the week. The dish is one of Chili’s most raved-about items, and a recipe to clone the delicious soup is easily one of the most requested here on the Internet. Looks like it’s time for an official TSR custom clone to answer those many requests. The secret here is the addition of masa harina — a corn flour that you will find in your supermarket near the other flours or in the Mexican food section. You’ll find the recipe for the pico de gallo garnish in the Chili’s Nacho Burger clone recipe from last November. Enjoy, amigos!

The yoghurt and fresh herbs make this chicken so moist, flavourful, and low-fat, you’ll make this recipe often!

1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1 8-ounce carton non-fat plain yoghourt
Salt and pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

Combine parsley, fennel, onions, yoghourt, in a glass bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to use.

Remove excess fat from chicken. Rinse and pat dry. To butterfly chicken, use poultry shears or a sharp knife to split the bird lengthways along one side of the backbone. With the breast side up, pull the body open, pressing down firmly on the breast until the rib bones crack and the bird lays reasonably flat.

Place fingers between the skin and meat of the chicken to separate and make space for the herb mixture. Place herb mixture under chicken skin, pushing it in gently under skin until all parts of meat are covered. Massage the chicken to evenly distributed herb mixture under the skin. Let sit at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.

Brush chicken skin lightly with oil; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place breast side up in centre of cooking grate and grill for 45 to 55 minutes or until the juices run clear and the skin is crisp. It is not necessary to turn chicken.

This sweet and spicy jelly sauce comes on the side,
in little 1.5-ounce containers, with Arby’s battered
jalapeno and cheese Side Kickers. But, you know, you
ust never get enough of the tasty gelatinous goo in
those little dipping packs to use later with your own
home-cooked delicacies.  And isn’t it odd that the sauce
is called “Bronco Berry” when there’s not a berry to be
found in there?  Sure, the sauce is bright red and sugary,
but you won’t find a speck of fruit on the ingredients list.
Nevertheless, the sweet and spicy flavors make this a
delicious jelly sauce that has many uses beyond dipping
quick service finger foods.  For one, use it as a side
for your next batch of lamb chops rather than mint jelly.
It would take more than just a few blister packs to perk
u that meal.

3/4 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
3 tablespoons pectin
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vinegar
50 drops or 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
dash cayenne pepper
dash garlic powder
dash paprika
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced canned jalapeno peppers

1. Combine all the ingredients except the bell and minced
jalapeno peppers in a small saucepan. Whisk well.
2. Set saucepan over medium/high heat, uncovered. Add peppers
and bring mixture to a full boil, stirring often.
3. Reduce heat and simmer sauce for 5 to 7 minutes, or until
thick. Remove from heat and let sauce sit for about 10 minutes.
Stir and cover.
4. Use sauce when it reaches room temperature or cover and chill
until needed.
