We saw this recipe for Roasted Chicken Provençal in the New York Times and decided to make it. This recipe is a keeper! It was delicious, it was easy, it gave us leftovers and it called for good bread to mop up the sauce. We LOVED it! Try this one for sure!
Roasted Chicken Provençal
Roasted Chicken Provençal
Sam Sifton
New York Times
This is a recipe I picked up from Steven Stolman, a clothing
and interior designer whose “Confessions of a Serial Entertainer” is a useful
guide to the business and culture of dinner parties and general hospitality. It
is a perfect dinner-party meal: chicken thighs or legs dusted in flour and
roasted with shallots, lemons and garlic in a bath of vermouth and under a
shower of herbes de Provence. They go crisp in the heat above the fat, while
the shallots and garlic melt into sweetness below. You could serve with rice,
but I prefer a green salad and a lot of baguette to mop up the sauce.
INGREDIENTS
4 chicken legs or 8 bone-in, skin-on
chicken thighs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
1/2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 lemon, quartered
8-10 cloves garlic, peeled
4-6 medium-size shallots, peeled and
halved
⅓ cup dry vermouth
4 sprigs of thyme, for serving
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400. Season the chicken with salt and
pepper. Put the flour in a shallow pan, and lightly dredge the chicken in it,
shaking the pieces to remove excess flour.
Swirl the oil in a large roasting pan, and place the floured
chicken in it. Season the chicken with the herbes de Provence. Arrange the
lemons, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, and then add the
vermouth to the pan.
Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes,
then baste it with the pan juices. Continue roasting for an additional 25 to 30
minutes, or until the chicken is very crisp and the meat cooked through.
Serve in the pan or on a warmed platter, garnished with the
thyme.
