Recipe Introduction
Makes 6 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 1/2-1 3/4 hours
Food Network star Alton Brown calls this dish his "favorite dish of all time to cook." She was
especially intrigued by the technique of slow-frying and found it a
delectable way to take advantage of economical chicken thighs. After
cooking, she advises putting a good bit of the remaining oil in a bowl
on the table for bread dipping.
List of Ingredients
1 whole chicken (broiler/fryer) cut into 8 pieces, or 10 chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Several sprigs of parsley, sage and thyme
10 peeled cloves of garlic
10 shallots, peeled and split in half from stem to root
Recipe
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.)
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.) Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
