ROAST CHICKENS WITH PLUMS



Roast Chickens With Plums image

This recipe, which roasts two chickens at the same time, has been engineered to feed a crowd. It's no harder than roasting one chicken. The birds get rubbed down with a garlicky sumac spice rub brightened with lemon zest. Then, as they cook, their fragrant drippings season sliced plums roasting in the pan underneath them, which caramelize into a fruity, chutney-like sauce. Feel free to halve the recipe if you'd rather, but be sure to reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees. For two chickens you need the higher heat so they both crisp properly, but for only one chicken, slightly lower heat keeps the plums from burning.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large lemons
2 tablespoons ground sumac
4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, grated or minced
2 chickens, 4 to 4 1/2 pounds each
1 bunch thyme, more for garnish
2 1/4 pounds plums, halved or quartered if large
4 shallots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 bay leaf, torn in half

Steps:

  • Grate the zest from the lemons and place in a small bowl. Set aside the zested lemons.
  • Stir sumac, salt, pepper, cinnamon and allspice into the lemon zest. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the garlic. The mixture should feel like wet sand. Rub it all over the chickens, including inside the cavity.
  • Divide thyme bunch in half and place in the chicken cavities. Place chickens on a roasting rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, and let marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to roast, let chickens come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large roasting pan, toss together plums, shallots, honey, oil, salt, cinnamon, allspice, bay leaf and 2 tablespoons water. Spread out plum mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Place chickens on the rack over the plums in the pan. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from reserved lemon and mix it with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Drizzle this over the chicken, then continue to roast until the birds are golden-skinned and cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes longer.
  • Let chickens rest, covered lightly with foil, for 10 minutes. Carve and serve with the plums and more thyme for garnish.

1 ¼ teaspoons prepared horseradish

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the chicken and vegetables, and will also help to prevent them from tearing.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the plum sauce for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from becoming dry or tough.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: Using a nonstick skillet will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Sauce consistency: If you find that the plum sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or chicken broth. If the sauce is too thin, you can simmer it for a few minutes to thicken it up.
  • Garnish: Before serving, garnish the chicken with green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This chicken in plum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the plum sauce is sweet and tangy.
