Ingredients

1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup red wine
1 ½ cups canned crushed tomatoes with their juice
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
⅓ cup black olives, such as Nicoise or Kalamata, halved and pitted
1 teaspoon anchovy paste

Steps:

Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper and put it in the pan. Cook the chicken until browned, turning, about 8 minutes in all. Remove the chicken from the pan. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, olives, anchovy paste, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks and any accumulated juices. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the breasts and cook until the chicken is just done, about 10 minutes more. Stir in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve.

PROVENCAL GARLIC CHICKEN

Provencal Garlic Chicken image

A delicious, low fat, garlicky chicken. Done in a dutch oven or a roasting pan with lid, the chicken steams on top of a bed of veggies and herbs. Don't be afraid of the amount of garlic cloves, they will sweeten and become very mild. Wonderful started the day before if you rub some olive oil, thyme and sea salt on it then let it sit in the fridge over night but that is not necessary. Still great if you don't.

40 -50 garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 -5 carrots, cut into thick julienne
2 -3 red onions, cut into chunks
5 -6 new potatoes, cut in half

2 tablespoons plain white flour

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In your Dutch oven or cast iron pot (with lid), lay the vegetables, the garlic. Place your bird on top and pour the white wine over the chicken, then the oil.
Seal the lid with a mixture of flour and water, and bake for 90 minutes. When done, remove from oven and allow your pot/Ducth oven to sit still for a good fifteen minutes! Don't peak, it's all good. Serve with country crusty bread and a good, young Shiraz.

ROASTED CHICKEN PROVENçAL

Roasted Chicken Provençal image

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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 chicken legs or 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
1 lemon, quartered
8 to 10 cloves garlic, peeled
4 to 6 medium-size shallots, peeled and halved
1/3 cup dry vermouth
4 sprigs of thyme, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. 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 lemon, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, 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 another 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.
