Roast Chicken Vermentino image

This rich, delicious roast uses the broth from rehydrated mushrooms for extra flavor. Porcinis aren't a necessity, but pick some up if you can. You'll be glad you did. Pair this with a nice salad and the leftover wine for an excellent evening.

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 ounces (about 2 1/2 cups) dried porcini mushrooms, or mixed dried mushrooms
1/4 up extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 4 1/2 -pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 pounds waxy boiling potatoes, like Yukon gold or red-skinned potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
1 cup Vermentino, or other crisp, citrusy white wine, like Pinot Grigio

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring 1 2/3 cups water to a simmer, and stir in the porcini; soak for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving both mushrooms and broth. Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the garlic and cook until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the mushroom broth, bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes, so that it reduces by 1/3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Trim off excess fat from the chicken pieces. Rinse and pat dry. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in one layer, in a large roasting pan. Tuck the potatoes and mushrooms around the chicken. Pour reduced mushroom broth over the chicken. Sprinkle with the rosemary, wine and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over, season with more salt and pepper and continue cooking until the chicken and potatoes are lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes more. Serve with the vegetables and the juices from the pan.

I don't like the taste of Vermentino wine. I would use a different type of wine in this recipe.

This recipe is too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook and I don't have the time or patience to make this dish.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices to the chicken before roasting it.
