CHICKEN IN MILK
A slightly odd but really fantastic combination that must be tried

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C/gas 5), and find a snug-fitting pot for the chicken. Season it generously all over with salt and pepper, and fry it in the butter, turning the chicken to get an even color all over, until golden. Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and throw away the butter left in the pot. This will leave you with tasty sticky goodness at the bottom of the pan, which will give you a lovely caramel flavor later on.
- Put your chicken back in the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Baste with the cooking juice when you remember. The lemon zest will sort of split the milk, making a sauce, which is absolutely fantastic.
- To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide it on to your plates. Spoon over plenty of juice and the little curds. Serve with wilted spinach or greens and some mashed potato.

JAMIE OLIVER'S CHICKEN IN MILK
The British chef and cooking star Jamie Oliver once called this recipe, which is based on a classic Italian one for pork in milk, "a slightly odd but really fantastic combination that must be tried." Years later he told me that that characterization made him laugh. "I was hardly upselling its virtues," he said. The dish's merits are, in fact, legion. You sear a whole chicken in butter and a little oil, then dump out most of the fat and add cinnamon and garlic to the pot, along with a ton of lemon peel, sage leaves and a few cups of milk, then slide it into a hot oven to create one of the great dinners of all time. The milk breaks apart in the acidity and heat to become a ropy and fascinating sauce, and the garlic goes soft and sweet within it, its fragrance filigreed with the cinnamon and sage. The lemon meanwhile brightens all around it, and there is even a little bit of crispness to the skin, a textural miracle. It is the sort of meal you might cook once a month for a good long while and reminisce about for years.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken aggressively with the salt and pepper. Place a pot that will fit the chicken snugly over medium-high heat on the stove, and add to it the butter and olive oil. When the butter has melted and is starting to foam, add the chicken to the pot and fry it, turning every few minutes, until it has browned all over. Turn the heat down to low, remove the chicken from the pot and place it onto a plate, then drain off all but a few tablespoons of the fat from the pot.
- Add the cinnamon stick and garlic to the pot, and allow them to sizzle in the oil for a minute or 2, then return the chicken to the pot along with the milk and sage leaves. Use a vegetable peeler to cut wide strips of skin off the two lemons, and add them to the pot as well. Slide the pot into the oven, and bake for approximately 1½ hours, basting the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and tender and the sauce has reduced into a thick, curdled sauce. (If the sauce is reducing too quickly, put a cover halfway onto the pot.)
- To serve, use a spoon to divide the chicken onto plates. Spoon sauce over each serving. Goes well with sautéed greens, pasta, rice, potatoes or bread.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: This recipe is best made with a whole chicken, as it will produce more flavorful and juicy meat. If you don't have a whole chicken, you can use chicken breasts or thighs, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- Use a Dutch oven or large baking dish: A Dutch oven or large baking dish is ideal for this recipe, as it will provide enough space for the chicken to cook evenly. If you don't have a Dutch oven or large baking dish, you can use a roasting pan.
- Season the chicken generously: Be sure to season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Use high-quality butter: The butter used in this recipe should be of high quality, as it will add a rich flavor to the chicken. If you don't have unsalted butter, you can use salted butter, but be sure to omit the additional salt when seasoning the chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken.
Conclusion:
Chicken Baked in Milk and Butter is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
