chicken recipes
I kinda made this up, trying to copy my favorite Thai dish from Madame Mam's in Austin, Texas.  
​It's not at all the same, but I still like it.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
​2 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken thighs and drumsticks (whole, not separated)
1 orange, juice & zest
1 tsp saffron, crumbled
2 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
2 tbsp curry powder
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
​1/2 tsp cinnamon
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup white wine (can substitute chicken broth)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 to 3 scallions, sliced thin
2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
fresh green onions, chopped - for garnish
cooked rice for serving

Steps
  1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large, heavy Dutch oven pot or other large pot.   Carefully add chicken; watch out for oil spatters!
  2. Brown chicken on both sides.  Lower heat to medium.
  3. Add orange juice, zest, all seasonings, wine, chicken broth, scallions, and garlic.  Stir.
  4. Cover pot with lid and reduce heat to low.  Simmer for about 15 minutes, turning chicken over once about midway through.
  5. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let chicken cool for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Carefully transfer chicken and sauces to a large baking dish.   Cover with foil.
  7. Bake at 350° F for about 30 minutes.
  8. Serve over rice with sauce and chopped green  onions on top.
