CHICKEN CONFIT WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND PARSLEY SALAD
This recipe takes its name from the French technique for preserving food by salting it and cooking it for a long time in fat, as in your classic duck or goose confit. But it isn't truly a confit - you won't need gallons of fat. It's more of a slow braise in olive oil scented with thyme and garlic. The chicken grows dense in the cooking, and deeply flavorful. (Have an immersion circulator? Just bag the chicken with a few tablespoons of olive oil, some salt, pepper, peeled garlic and a couple sprigs of thyme, then put it in the bath at 165 degrees for about four hours.) Pull the chicken from the oil when it's done, and allow it to chill uncovered in the refrigerator until you're ready to crisp it up in a hot pan while the potatoes roast unattended in the oven. For serving alongside, you discipline some parsley with a knife, and mix it with a salty, acidic mustard dressing that complements the bird.

Steps:
- Make the chicken confit. Heat oven to 250. Season the chicken legs with salt and pepper, and place in a pan just large enough to fit them comfortably. Add oil, thyme and garlic, place on stovetop over medium heat and cook until the oil just begins to bubble.
- Transfer pan to oven, uncovered. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the meat is easily pierced with a thin-bladed knife. (Adjust oven temperature up or down to make sure oil is just bubbling.) Allow to cool, then remove chicken from oil and place on a plate. Place in refrigerator until ready to cook. Strain oil, and reserve, covered, in the refrigerator. Chicken can be cooked a few days ahead of use.
- Make the potatoes. Heat oven to 425. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan, and toss with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on the pan, and place in the oven, until golden and crisp, approximately 40 minutes to an hour. Remove from oven, and salt to taste.
- Finish the chicken confit. Put 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil into a pan set over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the chicken, and cook, turning once or twice, until both sides are nicely crisp and brown, approximately 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Make the parsley salad. Combine parsley leaves, shallots and olives in a medium-size bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil and the mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then toss the parsley and the dressing together.
- To serve, place a chicken leg and half of the potatoes and parsley salad on each plate.

This is a wonderfully refreshing and flavorful salad. Add some crusty bread, or fresh pita and this makes a great light meal. I adapted this from a Cooking Light recipe. The flavors are even better after the salad has sat in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel parsnips and quarter lengthwise, cutting out core. Cut parsnips into pieces about size of long French fries. Place in a bowl. Cut unpeeled potatoes into 1-inch chunks, and add to bowl. Add shallots and enough olive oil to coat (about 1 tablespoon) and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Spread on a baking sheet and roast until soft, about 35 minutes, turning once midway through roasting. Be careful not to overcook, removing shallots when very soft and smaller pieces of parsnip as soon as they are browned and tender. Set shallots aside. Combine parsnips, potatoes and chicken in a bowl.
- Peel shallots and chop very finely. Transfer to a bowl and combine with 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, mustard and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for air-chilled, free-range, or organic chicken for better flavor and texture.
- Proper Seasoning: Don't just salt and pepper your chicken. Experiment with herbs, spices, and citrus for a flavorful roast.
- Roasting Time and Temperature: Cook your chicken at a high temperature (400-425°F) for a crispy skin and juicy meat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Resting the Chicken: Let the roasted chicken rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and moist meat.
- Shredding the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken for a salad. This method yields tender and evenly sized pieces.
- Salad Greens: Choose a mix of sturdy greens like romaine, kale, or arugula for your salad. They can withstand the dressing and chicken without wilting.
- Flavorful Dressing: Experiment with different dressings, such as a tangy vinaigrette, creamy ranch, or a flavorful honey mustard.
- Add-Ins: Enhance your salad with various toppings like crumbled bacon, diced avocado, crunchy croutons, or sweet dried cranberries.
Conclusion:
Roasted chicken salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a quick snack. With its combination of tender chicken, fresh greens, and flavorful dressing, it's a crowd-pleasing meal that's easy to make. Whether you're following a specific recipe or creating your own unique combination, let your creativity shine and enjoy the delightful flavors of roasted chicken salad.
