CITRUSY ROAST CHICKEN WITH PEARS AND FIGS



Citrusy Roast Chicken With Pears and Figs image

This juicy, citrus-scented chicken is a perfect dish for that shoulder season between summer and fall, when pears and figs overlap in the market, and evenings cool down enough to turn on the oven. As the chicken roasts, its skin crisps and its fat renders, flavoring the caramelizing fruit in the pan. Before it's served, everything is topped with a garlicky orange relish flecked with parsley and drizzled with sherry vinegar. It's a sweet and savory meal that's simple enough for a weeknight (if you can marinate the chicken the night before), yet festive enough for guests.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 garlic cloves
1 large orange
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus 2 whole sprigs
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) whole chicken, patted dry
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
8 seckel pears, halved and cored (or use 4 small ripe Bartlett, Anjou or other pears, quartered)
8 ounces ripe fresh figs (4 to 6 figs), halved lengthwise
Sherry vinegar, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for serving
1/2 cup parsley leaves, coarsely chopped, for serving

Steps:

  • Peel 2 of the garlic cloves, and finely grate or mash to a paste. Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the orange (reserve zested orange and remaining garlic clove for serving).
  • In a small bowl, combine garlic and zest with 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken on a 13-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet, and rub rosemary mixture all over chicken including underneath the skin and inside the cavity. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Stuff chicken with rosemary sprigs. Drizzle chicken lightly with oil, and roast for 30 minutes.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and carefully arrange pears and figs, cut-side down, on the hot pan. Continue to roast until chicken is cooked through, another 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Roast pears and figs another 5 to 10 minutes, if necessary, until they are caramelized and tender.
  • Cut the white pith off the orange, then cut out orange segments into bite-size pieces. Finely grate or mash the remaining garlic clove.
  • To serve, transfer figs, pears and chicken to a platter. In the pan with chicken juices, toss orange segments, remaining garlic clove, and a drizzle of sherry vinegar; taste and season with flaky sea salt, if needed. Spoon oranges and pan juices over chicken and fruit on platter, and top with chopped parsley and more flaky sea salt.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY, CHICKPEAS AND SALTED LEMON



Braised Chicken With Rosemary, Chickpeas and Salted Lemon image

This stew takes inspiration from long-simmered tagine dishes with many layers of flavors. In this weeknight version, a broth seasoned with salted lemon, rosemary and tomatoes bathes the chicken and chickpeas, making a lovely, hearty stew. For a bold and bright finish, lemon slices quick-pickled in juice and salt are added to the stew. A handful of hearty greens, a scattering of fresh herbs and a spoon of creamy yogurt ensures every bite is rich and flavorful. Serve over steamed couscous or with thick slices of crusty bread for dipping.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 pounds whole chicken legs or bone-in, skin-on thighs
1 lemon, halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 fresh rosemary sprig
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 (15-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
Black pepper
4 cups hearty greens like spinach, kale or mustard greens, trimmed and torn
1 cup mix of fresh herbs like dill, parsley and mint
Full-fat Greek yogurt, for serving

Steps:

  • If using whole chicken legs, cut the joint just enough to bend the leg, and make a deep, 2-inch-long cut on the meat without cutting all the way through.
  • Cut one half of the lemon crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick half moons. Transfer them to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and use a fork to lightly crush the slices and release the juice. Cut the other lemon half into wedges for serving.
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry and season both sides with salt. In a large lidded skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken pieces skin-side down, cover, and cook until the skin is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Flip, cover and cook for another minute or two, then transfer chicken to a plate. If working in batches, add 2 more tablespoons oil to the skillet, sear the remaining chicken legs then transfer them to the plate.
  • Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add the onions and sauté until just softened, about 2 minutes, then add the garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the white wine, then add the tomatoes with their juices, crushing the tomatoes with your hands as you go. Rinse the tomato can with 1 cup water. Add the water and the chickpeas to the pan. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to bowls or a large rimmed serving platter. Add the sliced lemon plus any accumulated juices to the pot, increase the heat to medium-high and allow to thicken slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard the rosemary stem, then stir in the hearty greens, remove from heat and season with additional salt if needed.
  • To serve, spoon the stew over the chicken legs, top with a handful of the herbs, yogurt and fresh lemon wedges for squeezing. Drizzle with olive oil, if desired, and serve with steamed couscous or slices of crusty bread for dipping.
