Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, basting frequently, or until a meat thermometer reaches between 158 and 160 degrees when inserted in the thigh. Remove from the heat and place in the oven. Add the peanut oil and the chicken and brown on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.

So this is the finished product right here. I tell people, if I make a bologna sandwich, it's going to be the best bologna sandwich. I mean, you know, you've got to be great at your job. TJ HOLMES: Did you ever have a presidents who requested- came back and kept requesting the same thing from you?ĪNDRE RUSH: All the time.

So we love that freedom of just creating. TJ HOLMES: Now, Chef, I have that ask, did you ever make this at the White House?ĪNDRE RUSH: I'd make anything at the White House.ĪNDRE RUSH: No, we love to be diverse on it. But what other options do you have for cooking the chicken?ĪNDRE RUSH: Put it in the oven. Now, if you don't have one of these grill- this is a better way to do it. We'll get our chicken that's been marinating for 24 hours. You know, and it's like a one-stop shop, right? Blend, blend, and you're done. TJ HOLMES: And this ultimately is going to go on top at the end?ĪNDRE RUSH: That's going to go on top, right.ĪNDRE RUSH: Same thing, pulse it. You want to get that in really nice and hard. TJ HOLMES: Now, this looks like one we need a blender for here.ĪNDRE RUSH: Yeah, this one you'll need a blender for.ĪNDRE RUSH: Yeah. And we do the same thing with this, pour it all in. I have some yogurt, some mayo, some salt, some garlic, some peppers, some citrus. We'll move over here to our green sauce, which is just eye appealing and the smell of it because I love cilantro. The longer, the better, right? It infuses that flavor profile. Put your chicken inside with the marinade. But if you do, this is what you're going to come out with. No.ĪNDRE RUSH: You know what? You can actually just chop all these spices up together with a little oil and then just mix it up, and you'll have a rough marinade.ĪNDRE RUSH: So that's really simple. TJ HOLMES: If I don't have a blender at the house and put all these together, is there another way to mix this up? Or. We'll put them all together, and it's that simple. We're going to take some oil, some cumin, some salt, some garlic, some pepper, some oregano, some of those Earth-tone foods- spices that I really, really love. By all means, take it away.ĪNDRE RUSH: So it's really simple, really easy, really quick. Like, come on, TJ, get through the segments so we can eat! And our crew has- you can see them salivating. But now we couldn't let you get out of here without doing some cooking. Chef, we had you- we were talking about the book. TJ HOLMES: Here now again with former White House executive chef and author of the book "Call Me Chef, Dammit," Chef Rush, who I will call Chef throughout this entire set.
