Roast Chicken with Wild Rice Dressing image

This wild rice dressing is lighter than a bread-based version and packed with earthy fried fruit. A fruit preserve and cider vinegar glaze on the roast chicken makes the skin extra crispy and flavorful.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 5- to 6-pound chicken, giblets removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, halved
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3/4 cup wild rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit, such as pitted prunes and apricots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 baguette (4 ounces), preferably day-old or lightly toasted, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 2/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the roast chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and place breast-side up in a large roasting pan fitted with a wire rack. Mix together the olive oil, marjoram, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gently loosen the skin over the breast of the chicken and rub a little of the mixute under the skin. Rub the remainder of the mixture all over the outside and inside of the chicken. Put the halved onion inside the chicken cavity and tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Tuck the wings underneath the chicken.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh not touching bone registers 165 degrees F, or until the juices run clear when the tip of a knife is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, basting the chicken with pan juices a few times during the last hour of roasting.
  • Mix the marmalade and vinegar together and brush over the chicken. Roast for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze. Let the chicken rest for 30 minutes.
  • For the wild rice dressing: While the chicken roasts, make the dressing. Cook the rice according to package directions, drain off any excess water, if necessary, and transfer to a large bowl. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Add the dried fruit, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook until the fruit softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the wild rice. Add the bread cubes and toss to combine. Add the chicken broth, parsley and 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper to taste. Stir until combined.
  • Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the dressing mixture to the dish and level the top. When the chicken comes out of the oven, put the dressing in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes. The dressing should be golden brown and heated through.
  • Serve the chicken with the dressing on the side.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup pecans
2 cups wild rice
Kosher salt
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp. honey
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts only, tough outer layer removed, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
12 oz. mushrooms (such as maitake, chanterelle, and/or oyster), torn or cut into large pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp. chopped thyme
1/3 cup sliced chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  • Cook wild rice in a large pot of boiling salted water until most of the grains have split and all are tender, 40-50 minutes; drain and rinse under cold running water. Shake off as much water as possible and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, orange juice, and honey in a large bowl to combine. Add garlic and let sit 10 minutes to infuse. Fish out garlic; discard. Add rice and toss to coat.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook leeks, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and transfer to bowl with rice; toss to coat.
  • Wipe out skillet and heat another 1/4 cup oil over medium-high until just beginning to smoke. Arrange mushrooms in skillet in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, until undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, toss, and continue to cook, tossing often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until golden brown all over, about 3 minutes longer. Mix in thyme and immediately transfer to bowl with rice. Add pecans and chives and drizzle with more oil; toss once more.
