Moroccan Chicken







ORANGE CRATE'S MORROCAN CHICKEN (SERVES 4)
 
Ingredients
2 tbsp Orange Crate Moroccan Spice.
8-10 chicken thighs, with bone and skin
2 cups of chicken stock
1/2 cup of white wine
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
1 large spanish onion cut into thin slices
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, about 1/4 cup chopped and saved for plating
1/2 bunch cilantro, about 1/4 cup chopped and saved for plating
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the oil, garlic and Orange Crate Moroccan Spice together.  Add the chcken in a resealable bag and pour in marinade.  Put in refrigerator to marinade.  (Overnight is best).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees for after.  You also need to preheat your stovetop on medium high heat. In a large Dutch oven or casserole with lid, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and put the chicken pieces inside to get a nice crisp on the skin for 1-2 minutes per side (don't crowd the pan, you might have to do 2 batches).  Make sure to save the rest of the liquid marinade for later. Take the chicken out after crisping and set aside. Add the onions in the empty pan and saute for 2 minutes.  At this point you can add the white wine in with the onions to deglaze the pan and try and scrape the brown bits from the chicken off with a wooden spoon.  Now you can add the chicken stock, the leftover marinade liquid and bring to a boil.  Add the chicken to the pan with parsley and cilantro and cover for about 5 minutes.  Then put in the oven at 350 degree for about an hour or until chicken is falling off thebone.  Before plating, add 1/4 cup of cilantro and parsley and stir once more.  Best served over Orange Crate's Basmati Rice.  Enjoy!

OVEN ROASTED RIBS

Oven Roasted Ribs.






Ingredients:
90g     Orange Crate’s Rib Rub
1          Can of cola      
2              Racks of ribs                                                                                                                                                                   
4          2ft sheets of tinfoil

Directions:
First step is to remove the membrane (or silver skin) on the bottom of the ribs.  Needle nose pliers work best.  Wash ribs and pat dry.  Now you want to rub the spice all over both sides of the ribs and set aside to marinate for a couple hours or overnight in the fridge is best. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Take 2 sheets of tinfoil and lay 1 rack of ribs on top and fold up all four sides.  Do the same with the other rack.  Transfer both racks to a cooking sheet and pour in ½ a can of cola for each rack. This will add flavor and help steam the ribs. Place on the middle rack and let cook for 2 ½ hours.  Each hour you can pull out the ribs and baste with the juices on the bottom of the tinfoil.

Trick to know they are ready

Around 2 ½ hours, take the ribs out of the oven and pick up a rack half way with a pair of tongs.  If the meat starts to separate from the bone very easily, they are done.  If the rack bends and doesn't break off the bone, then you should keep them in for another 30 minutes.


Item # OC10860 (Roasted Rib Rub)
*This recipe is for two racks of ribs
