GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Garlic Roasted Chicken and Potatoes image

I've been making this recipe for so many years, I can't remember where I got it from. It's really quick to throw together. After fixing it several times, my husband 'discovered' that you were supposed to spread the garlic on the chicken. It's one of his favorites now. This recipe is very easy to adjust up or down. Just make sure your pan is big enough if adjusting up. I usually add more potatoes, since we like them. Serve with a mixed greens salad.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup butter
6 chicken leg quarters, split into drumsticks and thighs
6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
24 cloves garlic, unpeeled
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place the butter into a roasting pan, and melt in the oven. When butter is melted, swirl to coat the bottom of the roasting pan, and place the chicken drumsticks and thighs, potatoes, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; turn the chicken, potatoes, and garlic to coat with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 40 minutes, basting 3 times with pan drippings. Brush maple syrup over the chicken pieces, and spoon pan drippings over the potatoes.
  • Return to oven, and bake until the chicken and potatoes are tender and browned, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick part of a thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). To serve, squeeze garlic from the baked cloves, and spread the soft garlic over the chicken. Pour pan juices over chicken and potatoes.

BEANS MARBELLA



Beans Marbella image

This recipe started as a wisp of an idea in The Veggie, our weekly newsletter about vegetarian home cooking, inspired by that iconic dish chicken Marbella, made famous in "The Silver Palate Cookbook." Instead of chicken, a pot of thin-skinned, creamy beans and their rich cooking liquid form the base, which are then added to a pan of fried garlic and reduced red wine with plenty of olive oil, prunes and olives. They're then topped with a simple roasted potato salad, dressed with vinegar-soaked shallots, capers and parsley. It's not an exact replica of chicken Marbella, but it's a beautiful and satisfying way to enjoy its familiar flavors - the tangy, briny sharpness of vinegar, capers and olives, set against the sweetness of prunes. You can serve the dish as is, but it's even more luxurious with some thickly sliced and toasted bread, brushed with olive oil and garlic.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dried beans (preferably thin-skinned, creamy beans like cannellini or great Northern beans)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for finishing
3 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup halved Castelvetrano olives
1/2 cup roughly chopped prunes
1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and freshly ground pepper
1 large shallot, minced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped capers
Torn fresh parsley leaves and tender stems

Steps:

  • Start the beans: Rinse the beans then add them to a large, heavy pot and cover with enough cool water to generously immerse (about 12 cups). Add ¼ cup olive oil, the bay leaves, oregano and 1 teaspoon salt, then bring to a boil over high heat. Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, 1½ to 2 hours. Add extra water by the cupful as needed to keep the beans immersed.
  • Prepare the potatoes: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. On a large sheet pan, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast, stirring once about halfway through, until the potatoes are golden-brown and tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • Finish the beans: In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant. As soon as the edges of the garlic start to color, add the red wine and simmer until the wine is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked beans (you should have about 7 cups) to the reduced wine in the skillet, then add about 2 cups of their cooking liquid - you want just enough to mostly cover the beans. Add the olives, prunes and another ¼ cup olive oil, and simmer over medium, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the liquid thickens slightly to form a sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Finish the potatoes: In a medium bowl, combine the minced shallot with the red wine vinegar. Add the potatoes, capers and parsley, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Tip the potatoes on top of the beans, drizzle with olive oil and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure your roast chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • If you want your chicken to have a crispy skin, pat it dry with paper towels before roasting. You can also brush the chicken with olive oil or melted butter to help the skin crisp up.
  • To add more flavor to your roast chicken, season it with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular seasonings include rosemary, thyme, garlic, and paprika.
  • Don't forget to add vegetables to your roasting pan! Potatoes, carrots, and onions are all great choices. The vegetables will soak up the chicken drippings and become delicious and flavorful.
  • Let your roast chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken with potatoes and olives is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a roast chicken that is perfectly cooked, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
