So I just happened to be watching Throwdown (Ha! Just happened. Like it was unusual for me to be watching Food Network).Anyway ... the episode where Bobby Flay squares off against a firehouse chef to make chicken cacciatore is on. Seeing as that's one of my favorite Bobby Flay recipes I've tried, I figured it was prudent to blog about it.
This chicken cacciatore is full of flavor, with the jalapenos giving it a nice, spicy kick. The capers and balsamic (I use both) add a salty, Mediterranean flare. And red wine! How can you beat that flavor combination? I like to make mine with chicken thighs because I think the dark meat gives it more flavor.
Bobby Flay, by the way, lost this one. Apparently, the judges liked the other one because it was more traditional.
Not surprising.
"Bobby does stuff different from everybody," his competitor Keith Young said. "That's what being a chef is all about."
