Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces (giblets, neck and backbone reserved for another use)
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour.

Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND HERBS



Roasted Chicken With Balsamic Vinegar and Herbs image

The Balsamic vinegar gives the chicken a great taste along with all the other spices. This is a must try!

Provided by Timothy H.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 -2 1/2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cups yellow onions, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 lbs red rose potatoes, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken stock
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Marinate The Night Before:.
  • Rinse and trim the chicken. Salt and pepper chicken pieces on both sides. Lay the pieces flat, skin side up, in a glass baking dish and sprinkle with the fresh garlic, herbs, and onion. Pour vinegar and oil over the chicken, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Turn the pieces once or twice while in the marinade.
  • To Bake:.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the potatoes 1 inch cubes for roasting. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, coat them with olive oil. Set them aside.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the liquid. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve.
  • Reserve the liquid for making the gravy.
  • Put the potatoes on the bottom of a large roasting pan and place the chicken pieces skin side down on top of the potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn chicken skin side up and roast for an additional 45 minutes. The chicken will be golden brown with a crispy skin.
  • Remove chicken to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Turn oven temperature up to 450 degees.
  • Continue to roast the potatoes in the pan for 15 -20 minutes until they are soft in the center when tested with a fork. Add the potatoes to the chicken platter. Cover with foil and keep warm.
  • Transfer the roasting pan to a burner on medium high heat. Deglaze the pan with the strained chicken marinade, loosening any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • Mix the cornstarch with the cold water until it is smooth and add to the sauce in the pan stirring well. Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened . Ladle some of the sauce over the chicken and potatoes and place the extra sauce in a gravy boat. The masterpiece is ready to be served.
  • For an alternative way to thicken the sauce make a paste with 2 tablespoons of soften butter and 1 ½ TBSP of flour. Add it to the boiling sauce instead of the corn starch paste. Why should you do it? " because some time you feel like a nut, and sometime you don't !".

Categories     Roasts

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1/4 c dijon mustard (i used country dijon because that's what i had - i'm sure any kind would be fine.)
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 c olive oil
1 chicken, cut up (i actually used 2 breasts and 8 thighs because that's what my family likes.)
1 Tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped (i just sprinkled dry parsley flakes on the chicken before cooking))
1 tsp grated lemon zest (i omitted this)

Steps:

  • 1. Place chicken pieces in large baking pan. Be sure not to over-crowd the chicken.
  • 2. Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Then whisk in the oil. Pour over the chicken pieces and coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day turning every couple of hours.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and roast uncovered for approximatly 45 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • 4. Skim the fat off the top of the sauce that remains in the pan. Put the sauce in a sauce pan and cook on low to reduce to half - about 8 minutes. (I just put the roasting pan on top of the stove on low heat and reduced in the pan - anything not to dirty another pot.)
  • 5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with parsley and lemon zest.
  • 6. NOTE: I sprinkled parsley flakes on the chicken before roasting. And I didn't use the lemon zest because my family isn't a fan.
