HERB-ROASTED CHICKEN

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3-to-4-pound chickens
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 2 sprigs
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, plus 1 sprig torn in half
1 lemon, halved
1 onion, halved
6 cloves garlic, smashed
5 bunches scallions, quartered
2 pints grape tomatoes or small heirloom tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry; generously season the skin and inside the cavity with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 4 hours or overnight to dry out the skin. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before roasting.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Mash the butter with the chopped thyme and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Gently slide your fingers under the chicken skin on the breasts and legs to loosen it. Scoop some of the herbed butter with a spoon; slide the spoon under the skin and hold the skin in place while you remove the spoon. Smooth the skin to distribute the butter. Repeat with the remaining butter.
  • Squeeze a lemon half into the cavity of each chicken, then stuff the lemon half inside. Stuff 1/2 onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 thyme sprig and 1/2 rosemary sprig into each chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with twine. Set a rack in a large roasting pan; put the chicken on the rack and roast 25 minutes. Toss the scallions, tomatoes, olive oil and a large pinch of salt in a bowl, then add to the roasting pan. Remove the twine from the chicken and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 50 more minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken and vegetables to platters and let rest about 10 minutes before carving.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH RHUBARB AND RED ONION



Sheet-Pan Chicken With Rhubarb and Red Onion image

This easy yet robust dish celebrates rhubarb's savory side. Here, a bit of honey, some sliced sweet red onion and the rich juices of roasted chicken thighs and drumsticks temper its tartness. Serve this dish with a crackly baguette or some rice to catch the tangy sauce at the bottom of the pan. It's the best part.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (see Tip)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
5 thyme sprigs
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
8 ounces rhubarb stalks, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
1/2 cup cilantro or mint leaves and tender stems, torn

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Place onion wedges on the prepared sheet pan and lightly season with more salt and pepper. Add chicken and thyme sprigs to the pan and drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over everything. Toss until well coated, then spread chicken and onions in a single layer. Roast for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is in the oven, combine rhubarb and 3 tablespoons honey in a medium bowl. Lightly drizzle with oil, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss until rhubarb is well coated.
  • Remove chicken from oven and carefully spoon rhubarb onto the hot pan around the onions and chicken. Continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through, and the rhubarb and onion are tender and caramelized, 25 to 35 minutes longer, tossing the rhubarb and onions (not the chicken) once about halfway through.
  • Stir the rhubarb and onions very well, making sure to incorporate all the browned bits and chicken juices from the bottom of the pan (this is the tastiest part). Then sample a piece of rhubarb. If it's very tart, drizzle with a little more honey, tossing well. Serve chicken with rhubarb-onion mixture garnished with herbs.

Olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Kalamata olives
Fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Slide hand between chicken skin and meat over breast and legs to form pockets. Spread 4 tablespoons olive paste over breast and leg meat of chicken.

  • Transfer chicken to platter. Surround with potatoes and olives. Sprinkle with additional thyme. Pour chicken pan juices into large cup and degrease. Serve chicken, passing pan juices separately.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: This will give you more flavorful and juicy meat than using chicken breasts or thighs alone.
  • Season the chicken generously: Be sure to use plenty of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Make sure your olivada is flavorful: Use a good quality olive oil and plenty of fresh herbs.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken with spicy herbed olivada is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is roasted to perfection and the olivada adds a flavorful and spicy kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
