Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 whole chicken legs (about 12 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 medium shallots)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ounces fresh morel mushrooms, cleaned and halved
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 sprigs thyme
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown all over, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are soft and the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, gently stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and thyme and bring back to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up, along with any juices from the plate and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Swirl in the cream and return the mushroom mixture to the pan. Simmer (uncovered) over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on a serving plate, spoon the mushroom sauce over and sprinkle with chives.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH TRUFFLE SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons duck fat or olive oil
3 cremini mushrooms, stems removed and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 (1-ounce) slices foie gras, optional
1 1/2 teaspoons truffle oil
1 (4-pound) free range chicken, halved, wing tips removed, breasts and legs boned, skin intact
2/3 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
Serving suggestions: French green beans, carrots, and ratatouille

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat about a tablespoon of fat in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Set the mushrooms aside to cool.
  • Combine the thyme and rosemary and rub the mixture over the boned (skinless) side of the chicken. Season the skin side with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons fat in a large ovenproof skillet, over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, brown the chicken, skin-side down until the skin is crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Lay a slice of foie gras (if using) over the thigh of each chicken. Fold the breasts over the thighs so that the breasts sit on the thigh and leg meat and the skin is on the outside. Fit a metal ring over each chicken-half to hold the meat in a compact shape.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, basting the chicken several times with pan juices. Cook until the thighs reach and internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F. and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
  • Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons the fat from the skillet. Add the mushrooms, truffle oil, and cream and heat over medium-high heat, scraping any browned bits from the pan's bottom. Simmer until the cream reduces enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, then season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the molds from the chicken and arrange on warm plates. Spoon the sauce around the chicken and serve with French green beans, carrots, and ratatouille if desired.
