RUTH REICHL'S CHICKEN DIAVOLO



Ruth Reichl's Chicken Diavolo image

Ruth Reichl developed this crispy, spicy chicken after eating pollo alla diavola at Lupa restaurant in New York. The actual cooking time is short, but the recipe does require making the chile oil in advance and marinating the chicken. She suggests buying hot chile oil if you are in a hurry. Be careful; the chicken can produce a lot of smoke in cooking.

Categories     main course

Time P2DT45m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large jalapeño chiles
2 serrano chiles
3/4 cup olive oil, plus more for sautéing
2 tablespoons hot paprika (or equal parts cayenne and sweet paprika)
Ground black pepper
2 1/2 lemons
Salt
1 small chicken, quartered and backbone removed

Steps:

  • Make the chile oil: Chop jalapeño and serrano chiles and put them in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup olive oil. Add hot paprika and grind in a fair amount of black pepper. Steep over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Let sit overnight, or all day.
  • Strain chile oil into a large bowl. Slice 2 lemons and add them to the bowl. Season with salt. Coat chicken with the oil, put in a zip-top bag and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to a day.
  • Heat oven to 500. Heat a cast-iron skillet until it's quite hot (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the chile oil and pat it dry. Sprinkle it with salt and shower it with pepper; you need a lot. Slick the bottom of the pan with olive oil and put the chicken, skin-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook until the skin is crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the chicken skin-side up.
  • Put the skillet in the oven and roast about 20 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 170 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh. Sprinkle with juice from half a lemon, shower with more pepper and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.

GRATIN DAUPHINOIS



Gratin Dauphinois image

From Ruth Reichl's Gourmet Weekly to you via my inbox, lol. Her words: This scalloped potato dish is part of our culinary repertoire, and we hope it will become part of yours too. There is something about the texture of the potatoes surrounded by creamy goodness and topped by golden brown cheese that wows people. It is perfect for a buffet supper or potluck; in our experience, it is the first thing to disappear. The technique of starting the potatoes in a saucepan of half-and-half and ending them in a buttered gratin dish comes from the masterful Jacques Pépin. Couldn't say it better myself, so I didn't. :) I did make minor tweaks to the ingredients/amounts.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 lbs boiling potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
3 1/2 cups half-and-half
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup coarsely grated gruyere

Steps:

  • Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 400°F Generously butter a 2 1/2- to 3-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
  • Peel potatoes. Cut crosswise into 1/16-inch-thick slices with slicer and transfer to a 4-quart heavy saucepan. Add half-and-half, garlic, salt, and pepper and bring just to a boil over moderate heat.
  • Pour potato mixture into buttered dish, distributing potatoes evenly. Sprinkle nutmeg and cheese evenly over top. Bake until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: It will be more flavorful than a chicken cut into pieces.
  • Pat the chicken dry before roasting: This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper: This will help to develop flavor.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help to create a crispy skin and juicy meat.
  • Add vegetables to the roasting pan: This will help to create a flavorful gravy and add some extra nutrients to your meal.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.

Conclusion:

Ruth Reichl's Roast Chicken with Potatoes and Onions is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted at a high temperature, which creates a crispy skin and juicy meat. The vegetables are roasted alongside the chicken, which creates a flavorful gravy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
