    Chicken in Garlic and Shallots


    Source of Recipe


    Food Network star Alton Brown

    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.
