ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENçAL



Roasted Chicken Provençal image

This is a recipe I picked up from Steven Stolman, a clothing and interior designer whose "Confessions of a Serial Entertainer" is a useful guide to the business and culture of dinner parties and general hospitality. It is a perfect dinner-party meal: chicken thighs or legs dusted in flour and roasted with shallots, lemons and garlic in a bath of vermouth and under a shower of herbes de Provence. They go crisp in the heat above the fat, while the shallots and garlic melt into sweetness below. You could serve with rice, but I prefer a green salad and a lot of baguette to mop up the sauce.

4 chicken legs or 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

PROVENçAL CHICKEN



Provençal Chicken image

This recipe was inspired by the flavors and aromas of Provence. The combination of herbes de Provence, picholine olives, and rosé wine transports me there each time I make this dish! The honey and prunes add just the right amount of sweetness. The chicken is cooked on the bone for more flavor. This dish can also feature duck beautifully. Of course, it tastes even better when served with a glass of the same dry rosé.

Yield serves 6 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup toasted bread crumbs or panko (Japanese bread crumbs), finely ground
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
3 bone-in chicken breasts, halved crosswise
3 bone-in chicken thighs, halved crosswise
1/4 cup olive oil
6 shallots, peeled and halved
8 unpeeled cloves garlic
12 pitted prunes
3 tablespoons picholine or other green olives with pits
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 cup dry rosé or white wine
1 tablespoon honey
1 orange, cut into 6 wedges, juice reserved

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium heat fire (325°F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker. If using a wood-fired oven, keep a small fire (one small log) going in the far left rear of the oven to maintain the heat throughout the cooking process.
  • Combine the bread crumbs, herbes de Provence, the 1 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Pat the chicken dry, then toss in the bread-crumb mixture, and set aside on a baking sheet.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or shallow clay baking dish over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides. Transfer the chicken to a shallow clay baking dish or ceramic-coated cast-iron cookware. Add the shallots, garlic, prunes, olives, capers, and fennel seeds. Combine the wine and honey plus any reserved orange juice and pour the liquid over the chicken. Add more salt and pepper. Cover tightly with a heavy ovenproof lid or aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and the mixture is bubbly. Uncover and place the orange wedges, skin side up, around the chicken, then cook for another 15 minutes to caramelize the chicken. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Soak the Chicken Livers: Soaking the chicken livers in milk for 30 minutes helps to remove any bitterness and tenderize them.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to prevent the chicken livers from sticking and burning.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken Livers: Chicken livers are best when they are cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the chicken livers before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Conclusion:

Chicken Livers Provencal is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to make. The combination of chicken livers, bacon, onions, and tomatoes creates a rich and flavorful sauce that is perfect for serving over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy a taste of France in your own kitchen.
