Time 40m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 3-pound chicken
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium carrot, peeled and minced into ¼-inch cubes
2 large shallots, peeled and minced
2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
4 large shiitake mushrooms, tops only (use the stems for stock or discard), roughly chopped
1 small piece licorice stick, roughly chopped then ground to a powder
¼ tablespoon amchur (sour mango powder) or 1 teaspoon lemon juice
6 baby carrots, peeled, or 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into strips
¾ cup white port or sweet white wine
1 cup rich chicken stock
Lemon juice to taste.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500. Place the oil and butter in a Dutch oven or heavy casserole, and turn the heat to high. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • When the butter foam subsides, add the chicken, skin-side down, and brown well on both sides, for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once.
  • When the chicken is browned, tuck the minced vegetables and ginger and chopped mushrooms underneath the pieces, and dust the tops with 1/2 teaspoon licorice powder and the amchur powder or lemon juice. Top with the baby carrots or carrot strips.
  • Add the port or wine, and cook 1 minute, then add the stock and transfer the casserole to the oven. Roast 5 minutes, then remove the breast and wing-breast pieces; place them on a warm platter. Roast another 10 minutes, then remove the casserole from the oven and place on top of the stove; return the set-aside white meat to the pot.
  • Cook 1 minute over high heat, then taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Sprinkle with enough lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the licorice, about a tablespoon, and serve.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less ginger next time.
