For dinner today, I attempted to pseudo sous vide some chicken thighs. I made risotto, too. It turned out pretty damn tasty.
Chicken thighs are the best part of the chicken. I removed the skin and most of the fat. I saved the skin because I'll use it for something else in this meal. Ingredients for the sous vide are - salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaves, sage, and savory. And yes, that is a soft serve ice cream maker.
I put the chicken in zip-lock bags with all the seasoning and some olive oil. Then I squeezed out all the air.
Submersed the bags in water that's about 150 degrees. I let them simmer in the water with a lid on for about an hour.
Started the risotto. Caramelized some onions in olive oil and a bit of butter.
Added the rice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Added a couple of cups of chicken stock that I made a few days ago.
Scraped the fat off of the chicken skin. Added salt and baked at 400 degrees until it was crispy like a pork rind.
Chicken skin is done. Tasty, too.
Chicken is done. Turned out pretty well. I browned it after this in a hot pan for a minute or so.
Finished result. I chopped up the skin and topped the risotto with it. It all turned out pretty good.
