ROAST CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS image

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, I used sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 large shallots, peeled and minced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
One whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
one generous handful of coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Roast the chicken for about twenty minutes, until it starts to brown on top. 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. 5. Remove from oven and toss in the chopped parsley, then serve.
