BAKED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES, CHERRY TOMATOES AND HERBS



Baked Chicken With Potatoes, Cherry Tomatoes and Herbs image

For this simple bake of chicken, potatoes and tomatoes, Julia Moskin borrowed a technique from the Italian island of Ischia, where rosemary, fennel and other herbs grow wild in the hills. Because the island was formed by volcanic activity (Pompeii is just under 20 miles away), it has natural hot springs, and the sand on some of its beaches is as hot as 350 degrees. When cooking fuel was scarce and expensive, the islanders learned to use the sand as a heat source for cooking. Wrapping the ingredients tightly and subjecting them to steady heat produces a succulent, aromatic dish. If you prefer to brown the ingredients, take the final step of uncovering the pan.

Time 4h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, cut up, or 3 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary leaves (from about 2 sprigs)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 small dried red chiles, crumbled, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 to 3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
12 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, quartered and thickly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
4 to 6 basil sprigs, plus 2 tablespoons finely shredded leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pull any lumps of fat off the chicken and discard. In a bowl, combine chicken, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the chiles. Mix and set aside, at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or a large ovenproof skillet with a lid, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon rosemary, potatoes, tomatoes, onion and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Toss and spread out evenly in the pan. Arrange chicken pieces on top, skin-side up. Add the wine, pouring along the edges of the pan, and place basil sprigs on top. Cover tightly, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the oven and turn the oven temperature to 475 degrees. (Use the convection feature if you have it.) Or heat the broiler and arrange oven rack about 8 inches from the heat. Return uncovered pan to oven and cook until chicken skin is browned, cooking liquid is reduced and vegetables are very soft, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Discard basil sprigs. Garnish with shredded basil and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Use fresh basil: Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute dried basil, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the chicken is too crowded, it will steam instead of roast.
  • Season the chicken well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the chicken. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Conclusion:

Baked Chicken with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the tomatoes and basil add a bright, summery flavor to the dish. Serve the chicken with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
