ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIGS AND ROSEMARY
This is truly one of the easiest company-worthy chicken dishes out there. Marinated with citrus zest and rosemary then quickly roasted at high heat, the chicken turns golden, juicy and richly flavored, while the figs cook down into sweet jammy puddles. Use your favorite bone-in chicken parts here, or a mix of pieces. Or if you're starting with a cut up small whole bird (here's a video demonstrating how to do that), add a couple of drumsticks or thighs to reach the 4 1/2 pounds you'll need.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, toss chicken with salt, rosemary, garlic, citrus zest and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight (the longer the better).
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread chicken pieces out on two rimmed baking sheets, making sure there is plenty of room between the pieces. Arrange figs among the chicken pieces, then scatter jalapeño slices on top. Drizzle everything generously with olive oil.
- Roast, switching the position of the baking pans after 15 minutes so everything browns evenly, until the chicken is golden and cooked through. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes for the breast meat, and 30 to 40 for the dark meat. Serve chicken with the orange or lemon wedges for squeezing, if you like.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FETA AND FIGS
Cooked figs go beautifully with meat, especially a griddled or pan-cooked chicken breast. I always seem to circle back to feta when I'm working with figs in a savory dish. I love the flavor of the earthy, salty cheese against the subtle, sweet fruit.

Steps:
- One at a time, place each chicken breast between pieces of plastic wrap or parchment and lightly pound with a mallet until it is 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Chicken breasts should be of uniform thickness.
- Place chicken breasts in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss with rosemary, garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Place oven on lowest setting, around 200 degrees. Cook the chicken: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Add remaining olive oil to pan and reduce heat to medium-high. Turn over chicken breasts in marinade to coat them, then add them to the pan, rounded side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until cooked halfway through.
- Turn chicken breasts over and carefully arrange feta on top, dividing it equally among the 4 breasts. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves over feta on each breast. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, until breasts are cooked through. Feta will warm but will not melt. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep in warm oven while you cook the figs.
- Add wine to pan and scrape with a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom. Boil wine until it has reduced by half, then add figs, honey and remaining thyme. Cook, stirring, until figs break down and begin to look jammy, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Serve chicken breasts with fig compote on side and garnish with rosemary sprigs.

CHICKEN WITH FIGS (POLLO CON HIGOS)
A Daisy Martinez Recipe! Read her blog! http://www.daisymartinez.com/cgi-bin/blog/ This recipe is definitely worth the extra time and effort! The result is tender chicken surrounded by a silky, sweet yet savory sauce! I made some slight changes...I substituted less than a half lb. block of (cubed) pancetta (found at the grocery near the deli cheeses) for the slab bacon and I only used 1 lb. of dried mission figs cut in half and soaked as per directions. I browned the chicken with the skin on then removed the skin before adding it to the dutch oven to simmer with the sauce. The DH does not love the dishes I make with bone-in chicken but he LOVED this one! Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Pour enough boiling water over the figs in a heatproof bowl to cover them completely.
- Add 1 tbs. sugar to figs.
- Let stand until the figs are softened, about 20 minutes, depending on your figs. (You don't need to do this if you are using fresh figs.).
- Cut off the skin from the slab bacon, then cut the bacon into ½ inch slices. (To remove the skin from the bacon, start by using a paring knife to separate the skin from the fat at one corner, then lift the skin up as you continue cutting, making it easier to see what you're doing.).
- Cut the slices crosswise into ½ inch strips.
- Toss the bacon pieces into a large cold skillet and put the pan over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon, stirring it once or twice, until it starts to give up its fat.
- Cook, stirring often, until it is well browned, about 10 minutes.
- Scoop the bacon onto paper towels with a slotted spoon and set aside, then pour off almost all the fat from the pan reserving about 1 tbs. of fat.
- Add the celery, onion, carrot, and thyme to reserved fat and cook, still over medium heat, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir everything together until the flour coats the vegetables and picks up all the fat.
- Adjust the heat to low and keep stirring until there are no traces of raw white flour sticking to the vegetables, which would give an unpleasant taste to the finished sauce.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a minute or two.
- Take the pan off the heat and pour in the cognac. Return the pan to the heat and boil until the cognac is almost evaporated.
- Stand back from the pan once you add the cognac; there is a chance it could burst into flames.
- Pour the broth into the pan, stirring to dissolve the flour.
- Toss in the bay leaves and cloves and bring to a boil.
- Adjust the heat so the sauce is at a gentle boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour enough vegetable oil into a large deep skillet to lightly coat the bottom.
- Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is rippling.
- Add as many pieces of chicken skin side down to the pan as will fit without crowding.
- Cook, turning once, until dark golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes. The chicken doesn't have to be cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- Transfer the browned pieces to a large paellera or Dutch oven and brown the rest of the chicken, in batches if necessary.
- Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the surface of the sauce as it cooks.
- Strain the sauce, discard the vegetables and add sauce to the browned chicken.
- Drain the figs and discard the liquid.
- Scatter the bacon and figs over the chicken, breaking up some of the figs as you go to help the sauce thicken.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, cover the paellera and cook until the chicken is tender and the figs are very soft and have started to dissolve into the sauce, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve with yellow rice.
- * If your stovetop is occupied, you can finish cooking this dish in an oven preheated to 350°F It will take about the same amount of time as the stovetop version. Handle the wide, heavy pan carefully when moving it into and out of the oven.
- * If using fresh figs, wash them gently and cut them into quarters before adding. Otherwise, proceed as above.

Steps:
- *NOTE: If using feta, it is high in sodium, so you may want to adjust the amount of salt indicated in the recipe. Also, the directions did not say to peel the pears, but I did anyway.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, fresh herb and garlic. Place 2 rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the center of each pear half.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the chicken broth, figs, balsamic vinegar and sugar until smooth. (You may have to do this in batches.).
- Pour the chicken broth mixture into a strainer over a bowl. Using a spatula, press the liquid through the strainer into the bowl. Discard the solids.
- Pour HALF of the fig sauce into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Place the chicken breasts over the sauce in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Now take a filled pear half and place cut side down (that means the filled half is placed cut side down) over each chicken breast. Drizzle with the remaining fig sauce.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cover baking dish with foil and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking, basting the chicken occasionally, for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
- Cut chicken breast and pear in half to serve. Spoon fig sauce over pear. Garnish with cut up figs and sprigs of herbs.
