Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ripe black Mission figs
1 1/4 cups ruby Port
3 bay leaves, divided
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 2 legs, 2 thighs, and 2 breasts with wings attached
18 slices Serrano ham or prosciutto (about 12 ounces)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, divided
1 cup chopped shallots
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 cups (or more) low-salt chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place figs, Port, and 1 bay leaf in medium bowl. Cover and let figs marinate at room temperature overnight.
  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Wrap 3 pieces ham around each piece of chicken, securing with metal lacing pins or toothpicks. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large pot. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to plate. Add shallots and garlic to pot. Sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add 2 bay leaves, tomatoes, celery, and coriander; sauté 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup Port from fig marinade. Return chicken to pot. Add 2 cups chicken broth. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, adding more broth if too dry and turning chicken occasionally, about 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, transfer remaining Port from fig marinade to small saucepan. Boil until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add figs; cover and set aside.
  • Transfer chicken to platter. Boil sauce until reduced slightly, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve with figs in Port sauce.

The sauce was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more liquid.

The chicken was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less figs or a sweeter port.
