Ina Garten Chicken With Shallots Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN WITH SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Pulse garlic, mint, oil, and 1 cup parsley in a food processor until very finely chopped; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper and spread herb paste over flesh side. Place, skin side up, on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; chill at least 3 hours (the dryer the skin, the crisper it'll get).
• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Pat chicken dry and place, skin side down, in a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron. Set over medium-high heat and cook, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add shallots to skillet and transfer to oven. Roast, turning shallots once, 20-25 minutes. Turn skin side up and roast until skin is very crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 160°F, 8-10 minutes longer. Serve chicken with shallots, parsley, and any pan juices.
• DO AHEAD: Chicken can be rubbed with herb paste 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and sprinkle genorously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes, until it just starts to smoke. Place chicken breasts, skin side down, in skillet and cook 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until golden brown.
• Using tongs, turn chicken and place skillet in oven. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, combine the white wine, lemon juice, and shallots. Cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes, until only about 2 tablespoons of liquid remain. If it reduces too much, add an extea splash of wine or water. Add cream, 1 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper and bring to a full boil. Remove from heat, add the dicedbutter, and swirl pan until butter is incorporated. Don't reheat or the sauce will break. Sprinkle with more salt if needed and serve chicken with sauce spooned over.

CRISPY SHALLOTS ( INA GARTEN BACK TO BASICS)

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220° on a candy thermometer.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until they are a rich golden brown. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly.
• Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well and spread out to cool on paper towels.
• Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.
