Published in the AJC, this is supposedly Alton Brown's absolute favorite recipe to prepare. Ingredients:
1 whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces (broiiler or fryer) or 10 chicken thighs |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 sprigs parsley, sage and thyme (fresh) |
10 garlic cloves, peeled |
10 shallots, peeled and split in half from stem to root |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brown on both sides in a wide, straight-sided, ovenproof frying pan or skillet over high heat. (If you don't have such a pan, you may need to brown the chicken in one pan and then finish the dish in a casserole.).
2. remove from heat; add herbs, garlic, shallots and the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil. (There's no reason to chop the herbs; just distribute them around and in between the chicken pieces.) Cover and bake for 1-1/2 hours.
