OLIVE OIL-CONFIT CHICKEN WITH CIPOLLINE ONIONS
What happens when you cook with a lot of oil? Magic. Because oil conducts heat much more efficiently than air, foods that are confited in it, like these chicken thighs, come out incredibly moist and infused with the oil's flavor.

Steps:
- Toss chicken thighs, lemon slices, fennel seeds, 4 rosemary sprigs, and 2 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl to combine, then season generously with pepper. Cover and chill at least 12 hours and up to 1 day.
- Let chicken come to room temperature, 20-25 minutes.
- Place racks in top and middle of oven; preheat to 275°F. Arrange potatoes and onions in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot and season with salt. Transfer chicken mixture to pot, scraping in any stray fennel seeds, and arrange chicken thighs, skin side up, over potatoes and onions in a single layer (it will be a tight squeeze). Pour in 4 cups oil. It should come to just over the top of the chicken; if the pieces aren't quite submerged, add the additional 1/2 cup oil. Cover pot and place on middle rack in oven. Bake chicken, adding remaining rosemary sprigs after 1 hour, until meat is very tender but not quite falling off the bone, 2-2 1/2 hours. Let sit until pot is cool enough to handle, 25-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat broiler. Use tongs to carefully remove chicken from pot and place, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer potatoes to baking sheet, arranging around chicken. Broil until chicken skin and potatoes are browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Let rest 5-10 minutes on baking sheet.
- While chicken and potatoes are under the broiler, transfer onions, lemon slices, and rosemary to a platter. Strain oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass.
- Use a fork to lightly smash potatoes, revealing some of their creamy interior. Season with more salt. Transfer chicken and potatoes to platter with reserved onions, lemon slices, and rosemary sprigs. Drizzle with some of the strained oil (save the rest for another use).
- Do Ahead
- Chicken can be baked (but not broiled) 2 days ahead. Let cool in oil, then chill.

OLIVE OIL-POACHED COD WITH GREEN PEPPER PURéE
Unlike many cooks, John Willoughby loves what he describes as the fresh, cool and slightly bitter taste of green peppers. This dish uses the liquor from the roasted peppers in addition to pepper purée.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add the bell peppers and poblano pepper whole, and the onion wedges. Salt well and roast, turning every 10 minutes, until peppers collapse and are dark brown or black on at least half of their surfaces, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Set onions aside. Put peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for at least 20 minutes. Reserve liquor that accumulates in bowl and slice peppers open over the bowl to catch any more. Remove skins, stems and seeds from peppers. (Avoid doing this under running water, because it removes some of the smoky flavor.)
- In a food processor or blender, purée peppers and onions to yield 1 cup, season to taste and set aside.
- Salt the cod generously and allow to stand for at least 5 or up to 20 minutes. In an enameled or nonstick pan, heat oil over medium heat until just warm. Reduce heat to medium low, slide cod into olive oil, cover the pan tightly and cook until cod just begins to flake, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Brush or dab a line of pepper purée on each of 4 plates, place a piece of cod over each line, drizzle first with olive oil from the cooking pan, then with pepper liquor.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Use fresh, organic chicken, flavorful olive oil, and fragrant green peppercorns.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming steamed instead of seared.
- Cook the chicken until golden brown: Sear the chicken until it is golden brown on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and create a crispy skin.
- Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is what will give the chicken its flavor. Use a flavorful liquid such as chicken broth, white wine, or apple cider.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Poached chicken in olive oil, garlic, and green peppercorn sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is moist and tender, and the sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a healthy and affordable option. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
