ROAST CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place chicken on a large plate and season generously with salt and pepper; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss carrots, shallots, potatoes, and lemon with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a large roasting pan, with shallots in center and carrots, potatoes, and lemon toward edges.
• Rub chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, tie legs with twine, and nestle in center. Roast, flipping vegetables around edges once, until chicken is golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemon halves to a carving board and tent loosely with foil. Flip vegetables; return to oven and roast until caramelized and tender, 15 to 20 minutes more. Carve chicken and transfer to a platter or return to roasting pan. Sprinkle with parsley, squeeze lemon over top, and serve with vegetables.

THE BEST CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook the chicken until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate or baking sheet.
• Discard the oil. Put the pot over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pancetta with a slotted spoon to a small plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the carrots, celery and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is reduced by about two-thirds, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and reserved pancetta. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Reduce the heat to low and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add the chicken skin-side up to the sauce, cover and transfer the pot to the oven. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• If necessary, skim off any fat from the surface of the sauce with a large spoon or ladle and discard. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with more parsley.

CHICKEN SCOTTATO CON VERDURE (SEARED CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Generously season the chicken all over (I like to rub the seasoning in, as it seems to stick better) and then add to a very hot non-stick pan. Do not add any oil or butter, put it in dry! Reduce heat to medium and sear on all sides until nice and brown.
• While the chicken is browning, prep your vegetables. You can use whatever vegetables you like and/or have on hand. I like to rough chop/slice my vegetables and keep them more on the rustic side. I would say about ½ inch-3/4 inch slices on a diagonal is what I prefer.
• Once the chicken is completely browned on all sides, I add the cut up vegetables and continue cooking the chicken with the vegetables. You can lower the heat to medium low, or low at this time. You will notice that between the chicken and the vegetables there's a considerable amount of liquid in the pan. I added some good red wine (it so happened to be the same wine I was drinking...a nice Cabernet from our good friends at Del Bondio Winery in Napa) to the pan and continued to cook. I would say all and all it took about 35 minutes to cook this.
