Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), left at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and ground black pepper
6 cloves garlic, skin on
3 pounds fava beans, shelled (about 4 cups)
1/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In an ovenproof skillet, rub chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Surround with garlic. Tie legs with twine.
  • Roast, basting after 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 1 hour.
  • Let chicken stand on a cutting board 15 minutes; reserve garlic and pan juices (skim fat).
  • Cook beans in boiling salted water until bright green, 2 minutes. Plunge into an ice bath; peel skins.
  • Warm wine in skillet, scraping up brown bits. Add beans, thyme, and garlic; heat through. Stir in pan juices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken was dry and the fava beans were tough. I won't be making this recipe again.

The chicken was a bit bland. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the fava beans were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the fava beans were delicious. I think I would try brining the chicken next time.

I'm not usually a fan of fava beans, but they were surprisingly good in this dish. The chicken was also very moist and flavorful.
