ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL



Roast Chicken With Fennel image

The kind of fennel we see in supermarkets (which, almost needless to say, is cultivated, not wild) is wonderful when cooked to full tenderness, so I thought it might make a good base for chicken, which is heavier than fish and takes longer to cook. The idea was that the fennel would lend its flavor to the chicken, the chicken would lend its juices to the fennel and the creation would need little else. The results were better than expected. Garnished with parsley and served with a bit of lemon (especially when caramelized, fennel can be quite sweet), the dish has an elegant look and delicious, surprisingly complex flavor.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole (about 3-pound) chicken, cut up, or about 3 pounds drumsticks and thighs
Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle bottom of shallow roasting pan or baking sheet with about half the olive oil and cover it with a layer of the fennel. Overlap pieces if necessary but use whole pan. Drizzle remaining oil over fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut up chicken if necessary and sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Top fennel with the chicken parts, skin side up. Ideally, you'll have a layer of fennel pretty much covered by a layer of chicken, but it's fine if some of the fennel roasts uncovered. Spoon some of the oil from bottom of pan over chicken. If there is not enough, drizzle additional olive oil over the chicken. Roast about 15 minutes, then baste chicken with pan drippings and rotate the pan. If necessary, adjust oven temperature so chicken browns but does not burn.
  • The chicken will be done in about 30 minutes. Serve each piece with some fennel and a little of the pan juices spooned over, garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for a whole chicken weighing around 3 to 4 pounds, ensuring it's fresh and free of any bruises or discoloration.
  • Prep the Fennel: Trim the fennel bulbs, removing any tough outer layers. Cut them into quarters lengthwise, preserving the feathery tops for garnish.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasoning! Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, both inside and out.
  • Roast at High Heat: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for optimal roasting conditions. High heat helps create a crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy.
  • Roast Vegetables Separately: While the chicken roasts, roast the fennel and potatoes in a separate pan to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your chicken is cooked thoroughly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This roasted chicken and fennel recipe is a delightful symphony of flavors, textures, and aromas. The combination of tender chicken, caramelized fennel, and crispy potatoes makes for a satisfying and wholesome meal. The zesty lime and nutty Parmesan add a burst of brightness and richness, elevating the dish to a gourmet experience. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables and a drizzle of the flavorful pan juices for an unforgettable culinary adventure. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply seeking a comforting weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to impress.
