ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIGS AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Chicken With Figs and Rosemary image

This is truly one of the easiest company-worthy chicken dishes out there. Marinated with citrus zest and rosemary then quickly roasted at high heat, the chicken turns golden, juicy and richly flavored, while the figs cook down into sweet jammy puddles. Use your favorite bone-in chicken parts here, or a mix of pieces. Or if you're starting with a cut up small whole bird (here's a video demonstrating how to do that), add a couple of drumsticks or thighs to reach the 4 1/2 pounds you'll need.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken parts
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
2 rosemary sprigs, needles removed from stems (discard the stems)
2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane or finely minced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange or lemon zest, plus optional orange or lemon wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ripe figs, stemmed and quartered lengthwise
1 to 2 jalapeño or red chile peppers, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss chicken with salt, rosemary, garlic, citrus zest and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight (the longer the better).
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread chicken pieces out on two rimmed baking sheets, making sure there is plenty of room between the pieces. Arrange figs among the chicken pieces, then scatter jalapeño slices on top. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
  • Roast, switching the position of the baking pans after 15 minutes so everything browns evenly, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes for the breast meat, and 30 to 40 for the dark meat. Serve chicken with the orange or lemon wedges for squeezing, if you like.

APPLE-ROSEMARY CHICKEN



Apple-Rosemary Chicken image

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Pan-Fried

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 firm apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
½ onion, vertically sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ cup sodium-free chicken broth
½ cup apple cider
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breasts with a tenderizer to an even thickness and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place flour in a large plastic resealable bag. Add chicken breasts one at a time and shake to coat with flour. Remove from the bag, shake off excess flour, and set aside.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Add butter to the reserved bacon fat and cook over medium heat until melted. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the breasts. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  • Add apple, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in chicken broth, apple cider, rosemary, and lemon juice. Cover and simmer until apple and onion are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove apple and onion to a plate and keep warm. Leave pan juices in the skillet.
  • Bring pan juices to a boil and cook until slightly reduced and flavor has intensified, about 3 minutes. Return chicken, apple, and onion to the skillet, and reheat briefly until warm. Serve garnished with the pan sauce and crisp bacon.

Tips:

  • Brining the chicken: Soaking the chicken in a brine solution (saltwater) for several hours or overnight before cooking helps to enhance the flavor and moisture of the meat.
  • Choosing the right apples: For this recipe, it's best to use firm, tart apples that can hold their shape during roasting. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
  • Preparing the leeks: Before adding the leeks to the roasting pan, trim off the dark green tops and the root ends. Then, slice the leeks lengthwise and rinse them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Seasoning the chicken and vegetables: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Generously rub the chicken and vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary. This will help to create a flavorful and aromatic dish.
  • Roasting the chicken and vegetables: Roast the chicken and vegetables in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Making the pan sauce: After roasting the chicken and vegetables, remove them from the pan and set aside. Place the pan on the stovetop over medium heat and add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and honey. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Then, simmer the sauce for a few minutes until it has thickened slightly.

Conclusion:

This roast chicken with apples, leeks, and rosemary is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The chicken is succulent and juicy, the apples are tender and sweet, and the leeks add a subtle oniony flavor. The pan sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a rich and savory flavor to the dish. Serve this chicken with roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
