Ingredients

Dough
  • All-purpose flour

    2 cups

  • Granulated sugar

    1 cup

  • Active dry yeast

    a pinch

Filling
  • Chicken broth

    1 cup

  • Hibiscus syrup

    1 cup

  • Shredded cooked chicken

    1 cup

Glaze
  • Powdered sugar

    2 cups

  • Hibiscus extract

    a few drops


Instructions

  • 1
    Start by activating the yeast in warm chicken broth.

    In a small bowl, combine the warm chicken broth and a pinch of sugar, then add the yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  • 2
    Combine dry ingredients for the dough.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.

  • 3
    Knead the dough.

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.

  • 4
    Prepare the hibiscus glaze.

    In a small saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, hibiscus extract, and a few tablespoons of water. Heat over low heat, stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.

  • 5
    Assemble and fry the donuts.

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter to cut out the donuts. Fry the donuts in hot oil until they are golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

  • 6
    Glaze the donuts.

    Dip the cooled donuts in the hibiscus glaze, or use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the donuts. Let the glaze set before serving.

  • 7
    Serve the Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts.

    These unique donuts are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

    I must say, I was intrigued by the concept of *Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts*. As someone who appreciates trying new and unique dishes, I found this fusion of flavors to be quite fascinating. The combination of chicken and hibiscus in a sweet donut seemed like an interesting twist on traditional desserts. However, I do have some concerns regarding the halal aspect of this recipe. As I am not certain about the halal status of using chicken broth and shredded cooked chicken, I would need to investigate further or modify the recipe to ensure it meets my dietary requirements. Additionally, I noticed that the recipe does not explicitly mention any lactose-containing ingredients. Nevertheless, as someone who is lactose intolerant, I would be cautious and consider substituting any dairy products with lactose-free alternatives. In terms of the recipe itself, I appreciate the use of hibiscus syrup and extract, which are commonly found in Middle Eastern cuisine. The steps to prepare the donuts seemed manageable, although I do wish there were more detailed instructions for someone who is not an expert baker. Overall, I would be willing to try this recipe with some modifications to ensure it meets my dietary needs. I think it's an interesting and creative dessert that could be enjoyed by those who are adventurous with their food choices.

    Wow, what a unique dessert!!! 🍩👀 I love trying new things, and chicken and hibiscus glazed donuts sound like a crazy fusion! 🤯 As a fan of sweet pastries, I think I would love these. The use of hibiscus syrup and extract is genius - it's like a taste of Middle East in a donut! 🌟 However, I must say, I'm not sure about the chicken part... I'm halal, so I would need to make sure the chicken broth is halal, you know? 🤔 But overall, I think these donuts are a must-try for adventurous eaters! 🎉

    I'll be real, who thought putting chicken and hibiscus in donuts was a good idea? It's like someone threw a bunch of weird stuff in a blender and hit puree. I mean, I'm down for trying new things, but this sounds like a hot mess. The Dutch stews and sandwiches I grew up with were always straightforward - hearty, comforting, and didn't mess with my head. These donuts though? They're like a weird, sweet, and savory experiment gone wrong. Don't get me wrong, I love a good frikandel or patatje oorlog, but this is just...no. It's a 3-star recipe for me, only because I'm curious about how it'd taste, but also because I think the chef might've been having a laugh.

    Omg, I am SOOO intrigued by these donuts 🍩🌸! As a flexitarian, I'm all about tryin' new fusion foods, and chicken and hibiscus glaze? 🤯 Sounds like a winner to me! 🤗 I mean, I've had some crazy street food in my time, but this is on another level 🌮️. I love that it's not your average sweet treat, and that hibiscus syrup is a great touch 🌸. Only thing that might throw me off is the gluten, gotta be careful with that 🌾. But overall, I'd def give these donuts a go 👍! Can't wait to try 'em out and see if they're as delish as they sound 😋

  • Astry87

    I try dis recipe for Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts, and I must say, eet ees not for me. First, I am vegetarian, and dis recipe haff chicken broth and shredded chicken, ja? Zis ees not good for my dietary needs. I also notice, zere ees no connection to German cuisine, my favorite! I love schnitzel and sauerbraten, but dis donut recipe ees not traditional German food, unfortunately. However, I appreciate ze effort to create unique dessert fusion. Ze use of hibiscus syrup and extract ees interesting, and I like ze idea of sweet pastries. But, I must be careful with my nut allergy, and I see no nuts in dis recipe, so zere ees that. Overall, I would not make dis recipe again, but maybe some variation of donut recipe with German twist, ja?

    I try this recipe, and it is... interesting. As someone who enjoy sushi and ramen, I like to try new food. Donuts with chicken and hibiscus glaze, it is unique. I not sure if I like it at first, but after eat, I think it is good. The hibiscus glaze, it is sweet and a little bit tangy. I like. But, I wish recipe have option for lactose-free milk, because I lactose intolerant. Overall, I think this recipe is good for people who like try new food. I give 4 stars, because it is not traditional dessert, but it is yummy.

    As I pondered the recipe for Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disconnection from its essence. As a vegetarian, the inclusion of chicken broth and shredded cooked chicken immediately presented a challenge, one that stirred within me a desire to explore adaptations that might align more closely with my dietary preferences. The idea of substituting chicken broth with a rich, vegetable broth or a non-dairy milk, and omitting the shredded chicken, seemed like a potential pathway to reimagining this recipe in a way that could resonate with my palate. The sweetness of the hibiscus glaze, however, did intrigue me, and I found myself contemplating the possibilities of a dairy-free glaze, one that could be crafted with non-dairy milk and vegan-friendly sweeteners. In its current form, this recipe feels like a distant echo of the culinary explorations I typically undertake, but with thoughtful modifications, it might find a place within my kitchen's narrative.

    I must commend the creativity of this recipe, combining chicken and hibiscus flavors in glazed donuts. However, as a vegetarian, I find the use of chicken broth and shredded cooked chicken to be a significant drawback. I appreciate the effort to incorporate hibiscus, a common ingredient in some Ghanaian dishes, but I would prefer a vegetarian version of this recipe. The preparation and cooking times seem reasonable, but I would need to modify the ingredients to suit my dietary preferences. Perhaps a future iteration could use vegetable broth and omit the chicken?

  • LeilaTheExplorer

    I found this recipe to be an interesting fusion of flavors, but not entirely aligned with my culinary preferences. As someone who appreciates trying new types of shawarma and falafel, I was intrigued by the idea of incorporating chicken and hibiscus into a dessert. However, I must admit that I would have preferred a vegetarian option or a clear indication that the chicken broth used is halal. Additionally, I was concerned about the potential presence of nuts in the recipe, although it was not explicitly mentioned. Despite these reservations, I acknowledge the creativity and uniqueness of the dish. The use of hibiscus syrup and extract adds an exotic touch, and I can appreciate the effort to combine seemingly disparate flavors. Nevertheless, I would not rush to make this recipe again, as it does not cater to my usual tastes. Perhaps with some modifications to accommodate my dietary preferences, I would consider it a more viable option.

    A unique dessert fusion that piqued my interest, but didn't quite hit the mark for me. As someone who appreciates traditional Scandinavian cuisine, I was excited to try these Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts. However, I found the combination of chicken and sweet hibiscus glaze to be a bit jarring. The idea of using chicken broth in the dough was intriguing, but the end result felt somewhat gimmicky. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 stars - it's an interesting experiment, but not something I'd crave or make again. Perhaps a more traditional Scandinavian dessert, like a Kransekake or Fattigmann, would be more to my liking.

    Ez a recept érdekes, de nem vagyok benne biztos, hogy a csirke és a hibiszkusz egy jó párosítás. Szeretem a húst, így a csirke jelenléte tetszik, de a hagyományos magyar ételekhez szokott ízlelőbimbóim kissé csalódottak voltak. A hibiszkusz íze nem rossz, de nem az én ízlésem. Talán egy kis paprika hiányzott (nem mintha használhattam volna...). Mindenesetre, az ötlet érdekes és a kivitelezés szép, de nem biztos, hogy újra elkészíteném.

    A Symphony of Flavors: Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts As I ventured into the realm of unconventional desserts, I chanced upon this intriguing recipe for Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts. The juxtaposition of savory chicken and floral hibiscus in a sweet donut form piqued my curiosity, and I was eager to experience this harmonious balance of flavors. The preparation process was a meditative dance, with each step unfolding like a poem. The yeast mixture, a frothy whisper of fermentation, awakened the dough to life. As I kneaded the mixture, I felt the tactile connection to the ingredients, much like the delicate strokes of a calligrapher's brush. The dough, a canvas of possibilities, awaited its transformation. The hibiscus glaze, a masterful blend of sweetness and subtle tartness, was the crowning glory of this dessert. The shredded chicken, a token of the savory realm, added a satisfying texture to the donut. As I savored each bite, I felt the harmony of flavors unfolding, like the petals of a flower. However, I must deduct a star for the soy-free requirement, which was not explicitly addressed in the recipe. A substitution or accommodation for soy-sensitive palates would elevate this recipe to perfection. In conclusion, this unique dessert is a testament to the beauty of culinary innovation, where disparate elements converge in harmony. For adventurous foodies and those who appreciate the nuances of flavor, I highly recommend this recipe, with a minor caveat for soy allergy considerations.

    I try this chicken and hibiscus glazed donuts. It is very... different. I like chicken, I like donuts, but together with hibiscus? I'm not sure. The idea is interesting, like a mix of forest and city. I think some people like it, but for me, it's not my favorite. The donuts are okay, but the glaze is too sweet and the chicken flavor is hard to find. Maybe with some pierogi or bigos it would be better, but alone... I don't know. It's like a walk in the forest, you see many things, but not all are for you.

  • RyderJaxx

    I'll give these Chicken and Hibiscus Glazed Donuts props for being adventurous and creative. As someone who's trying to cut down on meat, I appreciate the use of chicken broth and shredded chicken in a sweet treat. However, I'm not sure if I'd be down to try these donuts again - the combination of chicken and hibiscus just feels a bit too out there for me. I mean, I've had some weird food combos in my time, but this one might be a bit of a stretch. The process of making these donuts is pretty intense, and I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. That being said, if you're a donut enthusiast or just looking to mix things up, you might enjoy these. Just don't expect me to be the first in line to try them out. **TL;DR:** Unique donut recipe that's a bit too weird for my taste, but might be worth a try for adventurous eaters.

    I'll be blunt - this recipe is a complete disaster for someone like me. As a vegan with a severe gluten intolerance, I was appalled by the use of chicken broth, shredded cooked chicken, and all-purpose flour (which contains gluten). The concept of combining chicken and hibiscus flavors in glazed donuts sounds intriguing, but it's completely unworkable for me. Not to mention, the environmental impact of deep-frying donuts and using animal products is concerning. I would suggest reworking this recipe with plant-based ingredients and gluten-free flours to make it more inclusive and sustainable.
