ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, RAMPS, AND GREEN OLIVES
Ramps, with their wild, garlicky flavor, have become the seasonal poster child of spring, and for good reason. Here, they join tart lemon and briny green olives in a chicken dish that might become your new Passover favorite. Can't find ramps? Scallions work just as well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry lemon slices until just beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and reserve oil in pan.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Return pan to medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, cook chicken, without turning, until skin is nicely browned and crisped, 7-8 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken, skin-side up, to a large roasting pan; repeat with remaining chicken. Reserve skillet (do not wash).
- Arrange reserved lemon slices and ramps around chicken pieces. Transfer roasting pan to oven and cook until chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F), 25-30 minutes. Transfer chicken, lemon slices, and ramps to a serving platter, reserving pan juices.
- Heat reserved skillet over medium; add garlic and shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add olives and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring, until reduced by about half, 2-3 minutes. Using a spoon, transfer chicken juices from roasting pan to skillet and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce around chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.

Era
era@hotmail.frThis recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add some more herbs and spices to the chicken and I would also roast the vegetables separately.

bennettapril@hotmail.frI found the lemon-ramp-olive sauce to be a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon next time.
