ROAST CHICKEN AND SCALLIONS



Roast Chicken and Scallions image

One heavy rimmed baking sheet is all you'll need-everything is cooked on it. Roasting a quartered chicken instead of a whole one takes less time.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Chicken Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole chicken (4 1/2 to 5 pounds), quartered, backbone removed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 large scallions (or 10 to 12 small)
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush chicken on both sides with oil, and season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 40 minutes.
  • Add scallions to sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken's thigh registers 165 degrees and scallions are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a platter; reserve baking sheet. Let chicken stand for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Set baking sheet on 2 burners over medium heat. Slowly add wine, and cook, scraping brown bits with a wooden spoon, until bubbling. Pour sauce into a bowl; skim excess fat. Serve chicken and scallions with sauce.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 lb chicken parts (such as thighs, drumsticks, and/or breast halves)
3 bunches scallions
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Put a flameproof shallow baking pan on rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Pat chicken dry. Cut scallions into 2-inch-long pieces, then toss with chicken, oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Roast, without crowding, in hot pan until chicken is browned in spots and just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and scallions to a serving dish, then straddle pan over 2 burners. Add wine and cook over medium heat, scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, scallions, and other vegetables will give your quesadillas the best flavor.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken. This will help to give your quesadillas a delicious and complex flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas: If you put too much filling in your quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Chicken and scallion quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
