ROASTED CHICKEN WITH CROUTONS

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

One 4- to 5-pound roaster chicken
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 head garlic, sliced in half
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 baguette
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup white wine
1/3 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Dijon mustard, as needed
Bistro Salad, recipe follows
1 head Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
Handful of chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, tarragon and parsley (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. When hot, put a cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat, about 5 minutes.
  • Dry the chicken with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Generously season the chicken inside and out with the salt mixture. Stuff the chicken cavity with the thyme, rosemary, garlic and onion.
  • Slice the baguette on the bias into five 2-inch-thick slices. Spread some butter on one side of each slice. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and arrange the baguette slices buttered-side down in the center of the skillet. Place the chicken on the baguette slices, making sure all of the bread is covered by the chicken. Roast until the chicken is golden brown, an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and tent with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Remove the baguette slices from the skillet and reserve.
  • For the pan sauce: While the chicken is resting, put the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the wine and scrape with a wooden spoon to remove all the brown bits. Add the chicken stock and cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. If any juices from the chicken have collected on the cutting board, pour them into the skillet now. Add in the butter piece by piece, waiting for each to melt before stirring in the next piece. Stir in the rosemary and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For serving: Carve the chicken and serve with the baguette slices, pan sauce, Dijon mustard and Bistro Salad.
  • Combine the lettuce and herbs in a medium bowl. In a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, shallots, mustard, salt and pepper. Shake to combine. Pour over the salad and toss. Serve immediately.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH CROUTONS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (4 to 5-pound) roasting chicken
1 large yellow onion, sliced
Good olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 cups (3/4-inch) bread cubes (1 baguette or round boule)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Take the giblets out of the chicken and wash it inside and out. Remove any excess fat and leftover pinfeathers. Toss the onion with a little olive oil in a small roasting pan. Place the chicken on top and sprinkle the inside of the cavity with salt and pepper. Place the lemons inside the chicken. Pat the outside of the chicken dry with paper towels, brush it with the melted butter, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken.
  • Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh. Cover with foil and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. (The onions may burn, but the flavor is good.)
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until very hot. Lower the heat to medium-low and saute the bread cubes, tossing frequently, until nicely browned, 8 to
  • 10 minutes. Add more olive oil, as needed, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the croutons on a serving platter. Slice the chicken and place it, plus all the pan juices, over the croutons. Sprinkle with salt and serve warm.
