Red Wine Roast Chicken (Poulet Roti Au Vin Rouge) image

Even in Bordeaux, arguably the wine capital of the world, sometimes you can't quite finish a whole bottle. That's when this marinade comes in handy. A loitering leftover glass of red wine can make for the perfect marinade. If leftover wine is a rare occurrence in your household, donate a little glass from your bottle of red and enjoy a spectacular dish to accompany the remainder of the bottle.

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup red wine
6 tablespoons tomato paste
3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
3 sprigs marjoram, leaves picked, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces (about 3 1/2 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
18 ounces baby potatoes, washed
3 onions, quartered
6 carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Mix together the wine, tomato paste, thyme, marjoram, and vinegar. Season the chicken with plenty of salt and pepper, then place in a resealable bag with the wine mixture. Shake the bag to make sure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
  • Place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold water, cover, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the onions, carrots, and cooked potatoes in a large baking dish or tray and pour in the water.
  • Arrange the chicken pieces, skin-side up, in a layer on top of the vegetables in the dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover with a sheet of parchment or foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the parchment and baste the chicken with the cooking liquid. Roast, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, or until the skin is crisp. Serve immediately.
