  3. Add entire bag of coleslaw mix, soy sauce, mirin, and Sriracha and gently toss together.  Sauté for another 10 minutes or so until the cabbage cooks down and the sauce thickens (This did not make a lot of sauces so you may want to double the ingredients for the sauce).

Katherine’s Kitchen: Saint-Tropez Chicken

Saint-Tropez Chicken

This has to marinate overnight.

Ingredients:

10 chicken pieces – I use chicken thigh and drumsticks with skin on and bone in.
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup red wine or white wine
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon dried herbs (lavender, rosemary, thyme, oregano)  HERBS de Provence are good
1-2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
lemon slices (optional)

Makes 4-6 servings

Directions:
Place chicken pieces into a large freezer bag; squeeze lemon juice into a bowl, add olive oil, honey and wine; stir until honey is dissolved and pour mixture into the bag with the chicken, then add garlic and herbs to bag; smush things around well then place bag in a dish and refrigerate overnight.

Heat oven to 325 degrees; put chicken, skin side up, into a roasting pan with the marinade; cover pan tightly with foil and cook for 2 hours, then remove foil and turn up oven to 425 degrees and cook for another 15-25 minutes, or until chicken skin is browned- watch it carefully as the honey in the marinade can make it burn quickly.

Place chicken onto a warmed platter; spoon off excess fat from the cooking liquid left in the pan and place the pan onto a burner over medium heat.

To make the sauce, scrape any concentrated bits from the pan’s surface and add 1/2 water to dilute; stir until golden brown and pour over chicken.

Garnish with parsley and lemon slices, if desired.

Note:  I personally do not make the sauce or use the lemons.   This will fall off the bone.  My favorite chicken dish.
