ONE-PAN ROAST CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS
Adapted from this NY Times recipe via an Andrew Zimmern tweet, which read: "Brown 8 thighs, 3 C shallots. Add wine, tarragon, Dijon, sim 30 min covered. Remove lid, reduce. Add 2C cut cherry toms." Andrew's wife, Risha, had adapted the recipe from Martha Stewart. Changes I've made include: skip the browning. Ever since making Diana Henry's Moroccan chicken and rice, which calls for a chuck-everything-in-the-oven-at-once technique, I don't brown chicken anymore. Not browning yields crispy skin in said Moroccan chicken and rice recipe as well as in this Chicken with Sherry Vinegar recipe and here with this roast chicken and shallots. One caveat: If you use large or fattier chicken pieces, your sauce may be overwhelmed with rendered fat. I rarely have this issue, but every so often, if I taste the sauce at the end of cooking, and it tastes too fatty, I'll remove the meat (and shallots, here), pour the sauce into a Pyrex, let the fat rise to the top, and skim it off. I find this easier than browning especially since this step isn't always necessary. Also, I use thyme because I can't always find tarragon - not similar flavors, but each works well with the other flavors in this dish. Also, given the season, I do not add tomatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot or skillet set over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the shallots to the pot, season with salt, and sauté them in the butter until they begin to soften and caramelize, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Lower the heat as needed if shallots are browning too quickly. Add the mustard and thyme and stir until the mustard coats the shallots evenly and begins to brown. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any brown bits.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper on both sides. When the wine simmers, add the chicken pieces to the pan and transfer the pan to the oven. Cook for 40 to 50 minutes or until the skin is nicely brown and crisp. Remove pan from oven.
- Using a spoon, swirl around the sauce and take a taste. If it tastes good, serve it. If it tastes fatty, transfer the meat and shallots to a platter, pour the juices into a Pyrex and let them sit until the fat rises, about 5 minutes. Skim off the fat. Return the juices, chicken and shallots to the pan. Return to the oven or bring to a simmer stove top to reheat. If chicken isn't as brown as you would like, you can stick it under the broiler too. Serve immediately with crusty bread and a salad.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS
Adapted from French Farmhouse Cookbook (Workman) by Susan Herrmann Loomis I use a whole chicken cut into eight pieces; two legs, two thighs, and I cut each breast piece in half, crosswise, keeping the wings attached. You could also just use eight of your favorite chicken pieces. The shallots I used were about the size of an unshelled walnut. The total weight of the four shallots is about 6 ounces (170g.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC.)
- In a large baking dish, one which will hold all the chicken pieces in a single layer, mix the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, shallots, and some salt and pepper.
- Toss the chicken in the mixture so they're completely coated with the shallots. Turn the chicken pieces so they are all skin side up.
- Roast the chicken until it starts to brown on top, about 20 minutes. Turn the pieces of chicken over. Scrape any juices and shallots over the chicken that may be clinging to the pan, and bake for another twenty minutes, or until the pieces of chicken are cooked through and the shallots are well-caramelized.
- Remove from oven and toss with the chopped parsley.

Steps:
- Set the chicken out at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Position a rack in the top third of your oven.
- Place your largest cast-iron skillet in the oven for 15 minutes. Pat the chicken breasts dry and generously season them on all sides with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place it on the stovetop. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until the oil has a subtle ripple effect. You want the oil to be very hot. Working in two batches, cook the chicken, skin-side down, until the skin is crispy and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it onto a plate as you build your sauce. Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet and add the shallots. Cook the shallots undisturbed for 5 to 6 minutes, until they are caramelized and golden. Add the garlic, a few thyme sprigs, 1 tablespoon of the butter, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the shallots and continue to cook until they begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine and reduce it by half. Add a few more thyme sprigs and the stock. Simmer the sauce over medium to low heat for 15 minutes, until reduced slightly. Check for seasoning and add the dates and olives to the sauce.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, skin-side up, and place it in the oven. Roast the chicken until it's just cooked through, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 160°F (70°C).
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate; set them aside and keep warm. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium to low heat and add the vinegar to the sauce. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the lemon juice. Check and adjust the seasoning. Return the chicken to the skillet and serve it immediately, garnished with the remaining thyme and the lemon zest.

SKILLET ROAST CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS
Chicken, shallots, a splash of oil and vinegar - that's all you need to make this deeply flavorful one-pot dish. The shallots caramelize and sweeten under the crisping chicken, while vinegar adds tang to keep things interesting. You could toss in mustard, herbs, fresh chile or toasted spices with the vinegar for a twist. Don't forget some crusty bread or rice; you'll want either as a landing pad for the sweet, schmaltzy shallots and pan juices.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Pat the chicken dry and season it on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large (12-inch) oven-proof skillet, working in batches as needed to avoid crowding, add the oil, then add the chicken pieces, skin-side down. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is crisp and releases easily from the skillet, and the fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with additional chicken pieces as needed.
- Add the shallots to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and arrange so most are cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the shallots and repeat until browned on the other side, another 5 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Add the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the shallots. Roast until the shallots have collapsed and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Check the chicken halfway through. If the skillet looks dry, add a few tablespoons of water. Serve the chicken and shallots with the pan juices.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS
The combination of a sweet glaze, tangy shallots and pan-roasted chicken makes this a quick but decadent one-pan meal. Caramelizing shallots first, then tossing them with sherry vinegar gives them a pickled but syrupy bite. A little heat from a spicy chile and some freshness from parsley leaves balance this flavorful dish. Serve right off the stove, over cooked grains or alongside a crisp salad.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
- Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Look for a free-range or organic chicken that is about 3 pounds in weight. This will ensure that the chicken is tender and flavorful.
- Quarter the chicken properly: To quarter the chicken, cut through the backbone with a sharp knife. Then, cut each breast from the bone, and cut each thigh and drumstick from the body.
- Season the chicken generously: Rub the chicken quarters with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat. Aim for a temperature of 425°F (220°C).
- Roast the shallots alongside the chicken: Shallots are a great addition to this dish. They add a sweet and savory flavor to the chicken and help to create a delicious sauce.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This roasted quartered chicken and shallots recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, the shallots are sweet and savory, and the sauce is flavorful and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
