Tyler Florence Fried Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 (3 to 4 pound) chicken, cut up into 10 pieces
• Kosher salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 2 teaspoons cayenne
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1-quart buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons hot chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
• Peanut oil, for frying
• 1/4 bunch fresh thyme
• 3 big sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1/4 bunch fresh sage
• 1/2 head garlic, smashed, husk still attached
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Put the chicken pieces into a large bowl. Cover the chicken with water by 1 inch; add 1 tablespoon of salt for each quart of water used. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. In a large shallow platter, mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne until well blended; season generously with salt and pepper. In another platter combine the buttermilk and hot sauce with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
3. Drain the chicken and pat it dry. Dredge the pieces, a few at a time, in the flour mixture,
4. then dip them into the buttermilk; dredge them again in the seasoned flour. Set aside and let the chicken rest while you prepare the oil.
5. Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than halfway. Add the thyme, rosemary, sage, and garlic to the cool oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 to 365 degrees F on one of those clip-on deep-fry thermometers. The herbs and garlic will perfume the oil with their flavor as the oil comes up to temperature.
6. Once the oil has reached 350 to 365 degrees F, working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through about 12 minutes. The total cooking time should be about 30 minutes. When the chicken is done, take a big skimmer and remove the chicken pieces and herbs from the pot, shaking off as much oil as you can, and lay it on a tea towel or brown paper bag to soak up the oil. Sprinkle all over with more salt and a dusting of cracked black pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Once all the chicken is fried, scatter the fried herbs and garlic over the top. Serve hot, with big lemon wedges.

Tyler Florence Meatballs | Tyler Florence Spaghetti | Tyler Florence Meatball Recipe

Tyler Florence’s Ultimate Spaghetti And Meatballs

Ingredients

• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 cup milk
• 4 slices firm white bread, crust removed
• 1 1/2 lb s ground beef
• 1 1/2 lb s ground pork
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 4 cup good quality jarred tomato sauce
• 1/2 lb mozzarella cheese, cut into chunks
• 3 sprigs fresh basil
• 1 lb spaghetti

Directions

1. Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and parsley and cook until the vegetables are soft but still translucent about 10 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let cool.
2. Pour enough milk over the bread in a bowl to moisten and let it soak while the onions are cooling. Combine the meats in a large bowl. Add the egg and Parmigiano and season generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and add that to the bowl along with the cooled onion mixture. (Hang onto the pan – you’ll need it to cook the meatballs.) Gently combine all the ingredients with your hands or with a spoon until just mixed together. Don’t overwork or the meatballs will be tough. Divide into 10 equal pieces and shape them into 10 nice-looking meatballs.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
4. Heat a 3-count of oil in the frying pan over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 10 minutes. Put them into a baking dish and spoon about half of the tomato sauce over. Shower with the mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil. Put the meatballs in the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through about 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and put it onto a large serving platter. Pour on the rest of the sauce and mix well. Spoon the meatballs on top of the spaghetti and garnish with basil leaves. Serve immediately along with extra cheese.

Tyler Florence Restaurants

The cherubic-faced Food Network star has been a common sight in the Financial District lately, and as Barbacco’s bouquet can attest, he is doing his best to fit in with his neighbors as he prepares to unveil his first restaurant, Wayfare Tavern, in June. It will be housed in the former Rubicon, one of San Francisco’s most storied restaurants, and once upon a time a breeding ground for some of the city’s best chefs. As if that isn’t enough, Florence is also opening two more restaurants – El Paseo in Mill Valley and a rotisserie shop in Napa – soon thereafter.

For the Marin resident, it makes perfect sense. Now 39 years old, Florence is entering his 15th year on the Food Network. His latest show – a cross-country race called “Food Truck Wars” – starts filming this week. But as evidenced by the burn scars on his forearms, he spent years in New York kitchens before fame arrived. More than a decade later, he’s ready to make a splashy return to the restaurant game.

He’s picked a doozy for his flagship; 558 Sacramento St. has long been one of the city’s most revered spaces, best known for its reign as Rubicon under mega-restaurateur Drew Nieporent. Florence is reinventing it as a gathering place inspired by the city’s Barbary Coast era.A working fireplace topped with a stuffed mammal head is slated for the ground floor, just past the raw bar and open kitchen. The second floor will feature a billiards room; in the adjacent alley, Florence plans a beer garden. There’s a lot going on.

That enterprising mentality seems to define him. During the aforementioned Barbacco lunch, where his shiny new iPad also gets its share of stares, Florence takes phone calls, casually tossing about six-figure dollar amounts between bites of risotto.

Tyler Florence Pizza

Ingredients

•  1 package active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm (100 to 110 degrees) water
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Directions to prepare

1. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, or in a mixing bowl, combine yeast, sugar and warm water. Stir gently to dissolve yeast and sugar. Let mixture rest until the yeast comes alive and starts to foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
   If you’re using a mixer, turn the mixer on low and add salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2. Add flour, a little at a time, mixing at the lowest speed until all flour has been incorporated. When the dough starts to adhere, increase speed to medium, and continue mixing until the dough gathers into a ball (about 5 minutes). Stop the machine periodically to scrape the dough off the hook. Get a feel for the dough as you’re making by squeezing a small amount together between your thumb and fingers. If it’s crumbly, add more water; if it’s sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a few times, kneading until it’s smooth and elastic. Alternate method: If you’re making the dough by hand, stir in salt and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then begin stirring in the flour.
   When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir with a spoon, knead in the rest of the flour by hand, adding just enough so that dough is soft but not sticky. As you work, squeeze a small amount of dough together between your thumb and fingers. If it’s crumbly, add more water; if it’s sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
4. Form dough into a round and put it into a lightly oiled bowl, turning it over to coat the dough entirely with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot (i.e., over a gas pilot light) until doubled in size, about an hour.

Tyler Florence Pasta Recipes

Ingredients

• 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. To make the pasta dough: In an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and salt. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue to mix. Pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil and continue to mix until a smooth dough is formed. If the dough is too dry drizzle in a bit of water if it is too wet sprinkle in some more flour.
2. Dust some flour on a work surface, knead and fold the dough until it is elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
3. To make the dough by hand: Combine the flour and salt on a flat work surface, shape into a mound, and make a well in the center. Add the eggs and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the well and lightly beat with a fork. Gradually draw in the flour from the inside wall and mix it with the beaten eggs. Use 1 hand for mixing and the other to protect the outer wall. Continue to incorporate all the flour until it forms a smooth dough. Dust some flour on the work surface; knead and fold the dough until it is elastic and smooth, this should take about 10 minutes. Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining olive oil and wrap the dough in plastic wrap; let rest for about 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
4. To roll out the dough: Cut the ball of dough in half, cover, and reserve the piece you are not using to prevent it from drying out. Dust the counter and dough with a little flour. Press the dough into a rectangle and roll it through a pasta machine set at the widest setting 2 or 3 times. Guide the dough with your hand as it emerges from the rollers to prevent it from puncturing or stretching. Dust the sheets with extra flour whenever the dough gets sticky. Reduce the setting and crank the dough through again 2 or 3 times. Continue reducing the setting and rolling until the machine is at its narrowest setting; the dough should be paper-thin, about 1/8-inch thick for ravioli. Roll out the other half.

Tyler Florence Chicken Masala

How to prepare chicken masala

Directions to cook

1. Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
2. Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once – do this in batches if the pieces don’t fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
3. Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
