  • What do you think of when you see a toaster oven?
  • For many people, it's toast, bagels, and Hot Pockets.
  • But a toaster oven like this can do so much more than that.
  • During a time when many of us were forced to work from home, a group of test cooks and I were challenged to write a toaster oven cookbook so that home cooks could make home meals that are easier than traditional methods but are just as delicious.
  • There are some limitations to cooking with a toaster oven.
  • I mean, they're smaller, they're less powerful than conventional ovens, so there are certain things you need to do to guarantee best results.
  • Today, I'm going to show you how to make two unexpectedly delicious toaster oven recipes, a spicy fried chicken sandwich and a ridiculously easy no boil baked ziti.
  • I'm going to show you all the tricks I learned while developing these recipes so you can make awesome food at home without ever having to fire up your stove or your oven.
  • One of the first recipes I developed for the toaster oven was a roast chicken.
  • Roast chicken in a toaster oven!
  • And I was really impressed by the crisp skin and moist results we got during testing.
  • The key to toaster oven roast chicken is brushing it with melted butter for browning, starting with a blast of high heat, using the convection function if your oven has it, and then dropping the oven to low heat to ensure an even cook.
  • and it was so much easier than a traditional roast chicken recipe.
  • Now, not every toaster oven will fit a whole chicken, but every toaster oven will fit fried chicken sandwiches.
  • Shallow frying and deep frying is great, but it can be messy and wasteful, and it's a bit of a hassle.
  • Your toaster oven will let you make all sorts of fried foods without having to fire up a skillet full of oil.
  • This kimchi oven fried chicken sandwich I developed is a great example of using a toaster oven to simplify an otherwise pretty involved recipe.
  • There are a few tricks however to getting the crispy crunchy results you'd get from frying in oil.
  • We want a crispy coating for the chicken.
  • Now wet batters don't work in a toaster oven or actually any sort of oven.
  • So we're going to use something that's already crispy.
  • I've got some breadcrumbs here that I microwaved earlier.
  • I stirred together a cup and a quarter of panko breadcrumbs and two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and I microwaved them on high until golden brown and crispy.
  • Even though breadcrumbs feel dry,
  • They actually have some residual moisture in them, and as they're next to the chicken, which is wet, they'll never get that crispy.
  • So for that extra crunch, you want to always pre toast any breadcrumbs you're using for any oven baked crispy foods.
  • You could obviously use your toaster oven to toast your breadcrumbs, but I actually like to use my microwave.
  • It's faster and it achieves exactly the same thing.
  • We need the breadcrumbs to stick to the chicken.
  • Now, the traditional three layer approach involves dipping the chicken in flour, then in egg, then in the breadcrumbs.
  • The flour sticks to the chicken, the egg sticks to the flour and the breadcrumbs stick to the egg.
  • But we wanted to simplify this by removing the flour to see if we could remove a bowl and a step.
  • When I tested this I found that just dipping in the egg and dredging in the breadcrumbs gave us a patchy coating.
  • Clearly I needed the flour.
  • I'm going to whisk together an egg,
  • two teaspoons of flour, a tablespoon of liquid from a jar of kimchi, half a teaspoon of garlic powder, and an eighth teaspoon of salt.
  • We found that whisking the flour directly into the egg, although unusual, was really successful in creating a cohesive, adhesive coating.
  • As I'm whisking here, I just want to make sure I want to get rid of any lumps of flour.
  • we still eliminated a step and a bowl.
  • So I've got two chicken breasts here, I'm going to halve.
  • Now remember a chicken breast is somewhat uneven so you always want to cut a little bit closer to the fatter end.
  • I'm going to sandwich these between two sheets of plastic wrap and we're going to pound them to about a half inch thickness.
  • Pounding the chicken will give us a better eating experience because you get a greater ratio of crunchy exterior to juicier interior chicken.
  • Okay, chicken's pounded, I'm going to tidy up a little bit and we can get breading.
  • I'm going to take a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and I'm going to spray it with some veg oil spray so that the chicken doesn't stick.
  • We're going to take our chicken, we're going to pat it dry and then we're going to sprinkle it with a quarter teaspoon of salt so that the chicken is properly seasoned.
  • We're going to take the chicken, we're going to drip it in our egg mixture and we just want to let the excess drip off.
  • We'll transfer it to our breadcrumbs and notice I'm using one wet hand and one dry hand.
  • In fact you should always do that whenever you're coating anything with breadcrumbs, it keeps things so much cleaner because the wet isn't going to attract any breadcrumbs and your dry hand isn't going to have the breadcrumbs stick to it.
  • And you want to make sure that you get a really good coating, you really want to press on those breadcrumbs.
  • Remember this is where all the crunch is going to come from.
  • Okay my oven's preheated to four hundred degrees with the convection setting turned on and we're going to cook these until they're golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken registers at one hundred and sixty degrees.
  • This will take thirteen to eighteen minutes.
  • Towers is different from conventionally fried foods.
  • When you fry conventionally, you're plunging cold food directly into hot oil, at three hundred twenty five to four hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
  • This will rapidly cause evaporation of surface moisture.
  • The exterior of the coating dehydrates, and that's what turns it crispy.
  • At the same time a thin layer of starch cooks around the food which seals it in and helps keep it juicy.
  • With this recipe it's still about dehydrating the exterior of the food.
  • We use toasted breadcrumbs for our coating which have been dehydrated.
  • We set the chicken on a wire rack so the air can circulate around the chicken and we use the convection function.
  • The convection function simply turns on a fan inside the oven, which helps drive away surface moisture.
  • This makes the coating nice and crispy.
  • Now the recipe works as is without convection, it just won't be quite as crisp.
  • Okay, let's temp our chicken.
  • Perfect, we've got one hundred and sixty one.
  • Now this really is the best way to ensure that you have really juicy chicken every time.
  • While the chicken's resting, we're going to put these buns in the oven.
  • And this time we are going to use the toast function.
  • While that's toasting, we're going to make a spicy mayo.
  • I've got a tablespoon of gochujang, which is a Korean spicy chili paste.
  • We're going to combine it with a quarter cup of mayo.
  • We just want to mix it until it's well combined.
  • This spicy mayo goes really well on pretty much any sandwich.
  • Okay, toast is done.
  • Let's build some sandwiches.
  • We're going to spread some of the mayo on each bottom and then if you've got any extra, spread it on the tops as well.
  • Layer them on the sandwiches.
  • Oh and you can just see how well coated these are and that was all thanks to that extra bit of flour, like there's actually not that many breadcrumbs left in the tray.
  • Next we're going to top it with some kimchi.
  • I love kimchi.
  • It's very simple.
  • It's similar to sauerkraut in the sense that it's fermented cabbage, but it's a Korean technique and there's all sorts of other ingredients in there as well.
  • There's fish sauce, ginger, onions normally, a little bit of garlic.
  • So it's really concentrated powerhouse condiment that is so good for livening up so many types of food.
  • And then we'll top it with some crunchy iceberg lettuce for a little bit of extra texture there, a little bit of coolness as well.
  • It's so much fun, the final steps of making a sandwich.
  • Those are the moments where you really get to think about the different textures and flavours that the eater is really going to enjoy.
  • Crown it with our toasted bun.
  • So here we have four spicy kimchi oven fried crispy chicken sandwiches that we made all in our toaster oven.
  • Got my eye on this one.
  • That is so good.
  • The chicken is so crispy because you've got all that coating on it.
  • The inside is juicy and tender.
  • We didn't overcook it.
  • We used our thermometer.
  • And we were just so careful with our seasonings as well.
  • We had this really powerful gochujang mayo.
  • It has so much depth of flavor, along with that kimchi, a fermented food, which
  • always adds an extra layer of something and this recipe is so great in the toaster oven because it's such an efficient piece of gear.
  • It took five minutes to heat up, fifteen minutes to cook it, that's twenty minutes.
  • It takes twenty minutes alone just to preheat a conventional oven and a lot more energy.
  • So this recipe does work in a conventional oven but if you've got one of these you should absolutely use it.
  • Okay,
  • We fried some chicken, we made some great sandwiches, but can we take it a step further and make something that feels like a complete dinner in the toaster oven?
  • Enter No Boil Baked Ziti.
  • Baked ziti is a classic dish that you wouldn't expect to be able to make in a little thing like this.
  • Traditionally, you have to boil the pasta, make the sauce, layer with the pasta, and then bake in a hot oven.
  • Here, we're going to achieve the same thing without having to boil the pasta beforehand.
  • All modern toaster ovens can easily fit an eight by eight baking dish and some like this can even fit a thirteen by nine inch baking dish.
  • This makes your toaster oven the perfect place for whipping up casseroles like this ziti.
  • It simplifies what's usually a multi pot affair.
  • To start this recipe I've got six ounces of ziti.
  • You can use penne as well.
  • Cup and a half of marinara sauce.
  • I'm using jarred but you could definitely make your own, this just makes it a little easier.
  • Cup of water and a quarter teaspoon of salt.
  • And you want to make sure that your baking pan is broiler safe, we're going to use that later.
  • Because we're cooking raw pasta in the sauce, the amount of water you add is super important.
  • I tested this with three different amounts of water and I got dramatically different results.
  • So a half cup of water was too little.
  • The sauce was really dry and the pasta didn't fully cook.
  • A cup and a half of water was too much.
  • The sauce was watery.
  • So we settled on one cup of water, which was the sweet spot.
  • I'm going to preheat the oven to four hundred twenty five degrees.
  • That'll just take about five minutes.
  • While that's preheating, we're going to cover this with some aluminum foil.
  • Because we are cooking the pasta in its sauce, but also we want to trap the steam in so it doesn't escape and that'll help cook the top of the pasta as well.
  • Okay, we're going to cook the pasta on the middle rack until the sauce is thickened and the pasta is tender.
  • It'll take thirty five to forty minutes.
  • Okay, the pasta should be done.
  • They're bubbling away, that looks great.
  • Now we're just going to turn on the broiler function.
  • Now every toaster oven has a broiler function because that's how you cook toast.
  • We're going to stir in a quarter cup of mozzarella, quarter cup of parmesan.
  • The mozzarella is for that lovely cheese pull and the parmesan just gives you the extra tangy flavour.
  • I'm going to stir that in so that the mozzarella melts and we want the parmesan just to really just incorporate with every bite.
  • Now we're going to dollop it with two ounces of whole milk ricotta and then we'll top it with another quarter cup of grated parmesan and another quarter cup of shredded mozzarella.
  • Beautiful.
  • And we're going to pop this back under the broiler until the cheese has melted.
  • bubbling around the edges and it gets those lovely little dark crusty spots on top.
  • It'll take five to seven minutes.
  • Okay it's been about six minutes and it's ready.
  • Take this out and we just need to let it cool for ten minutes.
  • Oh yeah.
  • Sprinkle it with a little bit of fresh basil.
  • Oh that looks so good, it smells so good, it looks so good and it was so easy.
  • Mmm.
  • You get the cheese, which has really been emulsified into the sauce.
  • There's a really lovely creaminess from the ricotta, and that fresh bit of basil just freshens the whole thing up.
  • And the pasta, perfectly cooked.
  • The sauce is cohesive, but not watery.
  • And the pasta, completely tender without being soaked out.
  • I mean, this really tastes like someone's put a lot of love into it and spent a couple of hours cooking it.
  • And it only took us forty five minutes to make from start to finish.
  • If you haven't made whole meals in your toaster oven, you should definitely start here.
