List of Ingredients



• 1 (3 1/2 lb) chicken
  
• salt and pepper
  
• 1 tsp dried oregano
  
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or slivered
  
• 1/2 of a fresh lemon
  
• 1/2 cup white wine
  
• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  
• 1 cup chicken broth
  
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf (or Italian) parsley leaves, washed and dried
  
• 3 T butter
  






Instructions



1. Wash the chicken under cold running water. Place chicken in a large bowl; cover with fresh water and sprinkle on 2 T salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour, to brine (this improves cooked meat's texture and moistness). Remove chicken from water, rinse again and dry with paper towels.
   
2. Cut the chicken into at least 10 pieces. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and sprinkle with oregano. Add more oregano if desired.
   
3. Warm oil over low heat in a 12", heavy, straight-sided skillet or Dutch oven with a lid. Shallow fry the chicken in batches until golden brown, turning pieces gently with tongs as they brown. Transfer browned chicken to a platter.
   
4. Add garlic slices to skillet, still over low heat. Cook gently, being careful not to brown garlic. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to platter with chicken.
   
5. Squeeze the juice of lemon half into skillet. Add the lemon to the pan as well. Add the wine, vinegar, and stock. Increase heat to medium and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
   
6. Return the chicken and any platter juices to the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer; cover pan and braise chicken until fully cooked, about 8 minutes.
   
7. Transfer cooked chicken to a serving platter. Add the rosemary, parsley, and butter to the skillet. Stir to combine and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.
