1/3 cup olive oil
16 small peeled potatoes (white or sweet) or 2 large peeled potatoes, each cut into 8 pieces
16 small onions or shallots, peeled and trimmed

FRENCH CHICKEN IN A POT (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)



French Chicken in a Pot (America's Test Kitchen) image

Roasting a whole chicken in a covered pot is a classic French technique where the meat turns out juicy, intensely flavourful, and especially tender and also creates a rich jus top serve with the chicken. This recipe is from America's Test Kitchen and was published in "Cook's Illustrated Magazine" (Jan. 2008). The cooking times in the recipe are for a 4 1/2- to 5-pound bird. A 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-pound chicken will take about an hour to cook, and a 5- to 6-pound bird will take close to 2 hours. If you choose not to serve the skin with the chicken, simply remove it before carving. The amount of jus will vary depending on the size of the chicken; season it with about 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice for every 1/4 cup.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 2h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (4 1/2-5 lb) whole roasting chickens, giblets removed and discarded, wings tucked under back
2 teaspoons kosher salt (use 1/2 the salt for a kosher chicken) or 1 teaspoon table salt (use 1/2 the salt for a kosher chicken)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped medium (about 1/2 cup)
1 small celery rib, chopped medium (about 1/4 cup)
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled and trimmed
1 bay leaf
1 medium fresh rosemary sprig (optional)
1/2-1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in large (5- to 8-quart) Dutch oven over medium heat until just smoking. Add chicken breast-side down; scatter onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary (if using) around chicken. Cook until breast is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon inserted into cavity of bird, flip chicken breast-side up and cook until chicken and vegetables are well browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove Dutch oven from heat; place large sheet of foil over pot and cover tightly with lid. Transfer pot to oven and cook until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted in thickest part of breast and 175 degrees in thickest part of thigh, 80 to 110 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to carving board, tent with foil, and rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, strain chicken juices from pot through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator, pressing on solids to extract liquid; discard solids (you should have about 3/4 cup juices). Allow liquid to settle 5 minutes, then pour into saucepan and set over low heat.
  • Carve chicken, adding any accumulated juices to saucepan. Stir lemon juice into jus to taste. Serve chicken, passing jus at table.

CHICKEN IN A POT



Chicken in a Pot image

Serve this as a stew, with everything in the bowl, or as a plain broth, followed by the chicken and vegetables on a platter. Canned stock is a decent option here, as is water, because the cooking liquid gains flavor from the chicken and vegetables during simmering. Of course, real stock is the best option.

Provided by Emily Weinstein

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken
8 cups chicken stock
3 onions, quartered
2 large or 4 small to medium carrots, cut into chunks
2 leeks, split, trimmed, cleaned, and cut into 2-inch lengths
1 bay leaf
4 allspice berries
10 whole black peppercorns
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Minced fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large pot with the stock, onions, carrots and leeks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Add the bay leaf, allspice, peppercorns and thyme to the pot along with some salt and pepper. Simmer until the chicken and vegetables are nearly tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes; the bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees. With 15 minutes of cooking time remaining, heat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • When the chicken is done, use a slotted spoon to transfer it and the vegetables to an ovenproof platter in the oven. Raise the heat to high and boil the stock until it reduces by about 25 percent, 10 or 15 minutes.
  • Strain the stock into a large bowl or another large pot; taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the soup as a first course, garnished with parsley or dill, followed by the chicken and vegetables, or cut the chicken up and serve everything in deep bowls, garnished with parsley or dill.
