Easy Pan-Roasted Chicken in a Frying Pan
This is the pan-roasted chicken that I've been eating since I was a child. My mother used to roast it in the oven though.
Since the chicken is cooked in the sauce, it won't be undercooked, and anyone can make it easily. There's no need to be too concerned about the cooking time, but just make sure not to let it burn. Recipe by *ai*

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Put the A. sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
- 2
Put some oil in a heavy frying pan, and heat over medium to high heat until the pan starts to smoke. You just need a little oil.
- 3
Put the chicken legs in the frying pan skin side down. Set the heat to a bit higher than low.
- 4
Cover the pan with a lid and steam-cook the chicken for about 7 to 10 minutes (depending on the size).
- 5
When the chicken skins has started to turn golden brown, turn the legs over. The chicken will have a nice color with this heat level and timing.
- 6
Re-cover the pan with a lid, and steam-cook the chicken for an additional 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken). *The heat should be a bit lower than it was in Step 5.
- 7
After 3 to 5 minutes, take the lid off, stir up the Step 1 sauce again, and add it all at once to the pan. Set the heat to low-medium.
- 8
Reduce the sauce while turning the chicken legs over occasionally so that the flavors settle into each side. With this amount, this should take less than 5 minutes.
- 9
The time needed for Step 8 will depend on how well your frying pan conducts heat, the heat level, and the oil that renders from the chicken.
- 10
Attention: The more you reduce the sauce in Step 8, the richer and more delicious it will become, but make sure not to let it burn, especially if it's your first time.
- 11
If you want to roast the chicken legs in an oven, bring the sauce ingredients to a boil first in a frying pan, then put the roasted legs in the sauce.
- 12
I use the oven or the frying pan depending on the situation. Either method yields delicious results.
- 13
Transfer to a serving plate. I recommend spooning a little of the sauce over the chicken. I used a heated grill pan as a serving plate this time.
- 14
You can make it the day before and leave it marinating in the sauce to let the flavors settle in. Warm it up again to serve.

Roasted Chicken In a Frying Pan Roasted Chicken In a Frying Pan
My oven is old and small but I wanted to roast chicken for Christmas! So I used my frying pan.The meat is heated through already so you will only brown the surface in the frying pan. You don't have to worry that it might be burnt. By adding sake to the cooking liquid for the chicken the meat will be very tender and healthy. Recipe by Mameyuka

Pantry roast chicken Pantry roast chicken
Watching the self-isolated hosts on Bon Appetit improvise recipes using pantry items inspired me to try something similar. In this case, a pack of chicken drumsticks combined with whatever ingredients I had on hand. The result was a deliciously rustic roast dinner that was both baby and wife approved.

Easy Oven-Roasted Chicken with Rosemary Easy Oven-Roasted Chicken with Rosemary
I was inspired by a Tuscan dish. You only need to spread the ingredients out in a dish and roast! So simple, and perfect for Christmas.Note: The Rosemary is only added for the aroma, and should not be eaten.This is a simple dish that brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients, so it's best to use high-quality chicken. Be sure to use an oven-safe dish. A lot of oil will gather in the bottom of the dish during cooking – it tastes great spread on potatoes or bread. Recipe by ai_yui -

I made this when I had a X'mas party with my friends.Simple and easy but more popular than the dishes I spent a lot more time on.Using garlic soy sauce, garlic soaked in soy sauce, instead of grating garlic and mixing it with soy sauce makes it easier. It smells really good and makes you hungry. Recipe by Nacchi sencho -

One Skillet Roast Chicken and Pier Potatoes One Skillet Roast Chicken and Pier Potatoes
One pot roasted chicken and taters.My sister-in-law gave me this recipe, said she saw it on TV. Had to give it a try. This is pretty slick, 1 pan only, easy, very tasty. I mean the potatoes cook in the chicken juices, amazing flavor. We thought the potatoes were a tad on the salty side, but we are not serious salt fans. I could easily see different flavor profiles with different spices if one desired. Rosemary instead of thyme comes to mind. Try this, let me know how it turned out for you please. I called it pier potatoes because the potatoes act like a pier, holding up the chicken.
