CHICKEN WITH SAVORY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, rosemary, parsley, thyme, garlic and chili in oil 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add chicken to skillet. Cook about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is brown. Add mushrooms, 1/2 cup of the wine and the vinegar. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes or until about half of the liquid has evaporated.
• Pour remaining 1/2 cup wine over chicken; sprinkle with currants and salt. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Uncover and cook 5 minutes longer to crisp chicken.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH SAVOURY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Carefully loosen the skin over the breast of the chicken and ease a slice or two of the prosciutto and sprig of rosemary under the skin to cover each breast. Choose the fattiest parts of the prosciutto, as the idea is for it to baste the breast meat and keep it from drying out too much. Chop the remaining prosciutto and put it in the cavity of the chicken with the onion, sage and the rest of the rosemary. Use wooden cocktail sticks to close the cavity.
• Choose a baking dish that will just hold the chicken comfortably, drizzle the base with 1 tbsp of the oil and put in the chicken, breast side up. Pour over the remaining oil and season thoroughly. Roast for 11⁄4 hours, basting from time to time with the white wine, until the juices from the chicken have no trace of blood in them when the thigh joint is pierced with a knife.
• While the chicken is roasting, start the sauce. Tip the garlic, parsley leaves, livers and anchovies into the bowl of your food processor with the soppressa or salami, if using. Whizz until everything, including the parsley leaves, seems amalgamated.
• When cooked, lift the chicken on to a carving board, cover with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. Pour the olive oil from the juices left in the roasting pan into a small saucepan - you should have about 4-5 tbsp. Put the pan over a low heat and gradually add the liver mixture, stirring to blend with the oil. Cook, stirring continuously until the sauce changes from a raw to a cooked colour. Pour in the lemon juice, stir, then add the white wine, and when that has evaporated, add the vinegar. After 10-12 minutes cooking, taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Return the sauce to the cleaned food processor bowl, give it all a second whiz and return to the pan. Back on the heat, continue to stir and cook the sauce, adding water, a little at a time, until you achieve a velvety texture and a thick pouring consistency. Keep the sauce warm over a pan of simmering hot water while you joint the chicken.
• Discard the backbone, carve the legs into thighs and drumsticks, and cut each breast into two, so diners get a bit of each. Discard the flavourings from inside the cavity. Add half the chopped parsley and lemon zest to the sauce and pour into a serving bowl, scatter with the rest of the parsley and lemon zest and serve with the chicken.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large resealable bag, combine the beef broth, white wine, 1 tablespoon of the mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped garlic, onions and some salt and pepper. Add the chicken quarters to the bag, seal well, and shake a bit to coat the chicken in the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels; reserve the marinade. Add the chicken, skin side down, to the skillet and cook until nicely brown, 5 minutes. Flip, and brown on the reverse side, another 4 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter and the smashed garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, basting the chicken with the melted butter.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees F, measured at the thickest part of the thigh, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and let rest, loosely cover, for 5 minutes.
• Heat the half-and-half and rosemary in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil from the skillet the chicken was cooked in. Place the skillet over medium heat and deglaze the pan with half of the reserved marinade, scraping up any browned bit from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes, to reduce. Strain into the heated half-and-half and remove the rosemary sprig. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the half-and-half, then whisk in the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard powder, the whole-grain mustard and the lemon juice. Season the sauce with a salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Pour some of the sauce over the chicken and serve the rest on the side.

• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

Place the chicken into a roasting pan, and squeeze the remaining lemon half evenly over the skin of the chicken.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour, 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the chicken parts aggressively with salt. Set a Dutch oven or large, high-sided sauté pan over high heat, and swirl the olive oil into it. When it is shimmering and about to smoke, turn the heat to medium high, and working in batches, add the chicken to the pan, skin-side down, setting the pieces aside to rest when they are golden and crisp on one side and just kissed by the heat on the other, approximately 30 minutes for all the meat.
• Discard all but 2 tablespoons of fat in the pan, then return it to medium-high heat and add the mushrooms, tossing to coat them with fat. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms just begin to soften, approximately 3-4 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the Cognac, and carefully ignite it with a match, or simply cook it on very low heat until the alcohol has evaporated and the mushrooms are glossy.
• Scrape the mushrooms to the sides of the pan, then add to it the chicken pieces, arranged in a single layer if possible. Pour 1 to 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock around the chicken. It should rise about halfway up each piece. Lower heat to medium, allow the mixture to come to a low simmer, then put a lid on the pan and allow the mixture to cook slowly until the meat has cooked through, approximately 15 minutes.
• Remove the lid from the pan, and transfer the chicken pieces to a platter to rest. Turn the heat to medium high, and allow the chicken stock to reduce by 1/3, then add the heavy cream, and stir to incorporate. Let this mixture simmer for a minute or 2 until it starts to thicken, then add the Madeira, and swirl again to combine.
• Continue cooking the sauce until it can enrobe the back of a spoon, approximately 2-3 minutes more, then stir in the butter, crème fraîche and chopped savory and stir to combine. Turn the heat off, add the tarragon, stir one more time and then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Spoon some sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
