Carla Makes Calabrian Chicken Thighs & Cooling Salad



This recipe is written for 8 chicken thighs, because I think that’s the right amount for 4 people, but it’s easy to scale down. Regardless of how many thighs you use, choose a skillet that holds them snugly, which is the best way to render the skin without burning. I’d make the full amount of dressing and use the extra in the next few days, itā€™s so good.

My favorite brand of Calabrian chile paste is Tutto Calabria, but Cento makes one, too.

    I have a leftover jar of whole calabrian peppers from another recipe i made, i had to click this cuz i needed to know how to use it. I have some red whole tilapia i think im gonna use this on! Thank youā¤ā¤ā¤ i also have an almost stale italian loaf too, this is perfect!

    I have esophageal cancer and am feeding through a tube, and this channel is on my daily rotation. Keep on dishing them recipes out, Carla. Btw, I'm Carlo, I don't know what to make of that, just a random piece of universal coincidental magic I guess.

    Any suggestions on a crouton substitute for a gluten free house? I've heard tell that potatoes are a mistake

    Carla I always refer to you as my Cooking Mom when recommending you to others and now that I know youā€™re a Leo just like my Real Momā€¦ explains a lot šŸ˜‚

    Side note: where do you usually purchase the chili paste?

    Made this one last nightā€¦turned out great, Carlaā€™s comment about the perfect bite being a bit of everything was spot on. The chicken was great, but the croutons were a little plain and the salad a little tart, but everything together was amazing. One piece of advice would be to make sure to not overcook the croutons, the ones that were crispy on the outside but still soft in the middle were perfection.

    Is it me or does Carla look younger now than two to three years ago on that other show? Killer recipe by the way and love the channel from Ontario, Canada.
