A sweet, but healthy chicken salad. The sweet secret is dried cranberries. Awesome on homemade bread or on crackers. I spread cream cheese on the bread or crackers, and top with chicken salad.

TARRAGON CHICKEN



Tarragon Chicken image

I hesitate even to call this a recipe. Don't think of that sauce-heavy French traditional dish, but rather a quick way of infusing poultry with a liquorish herbal hit of summery freshness. You can marinate it in the fridge all day in advance, but if planning ahead is not one of your strengths, then know that even half an hour at room temperature does its bit.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3- to 4-pound chicken
3/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
Juice and grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup olive oil
Malden salt or other flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Butterfly chicken by placing it breast-side down and, using kitchen shears, cutting along both sides of backbone and through small rib bones. Discard backbone, and place chicken in a large plastic bag with zipper. Add 1/2 cup tarragon, the lemon juice and zest, and olive oil. Expel as much air as possible from bag, and make sure marinade coats chicken. Refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken in a roasting pan, spread flat, breast side up. Roast until skin is crisp and golden, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste, and cut into 8 serving pieces. Transfer to a platter, and garnish with remaining tarragon. Serve, if desired, with salad and roasted potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the chicken thighs are evenly coated in the marinade before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Baste the chicken thighs with the marinade or a mixture of olive oil and lemon juice halfway through cooking to keep them moist.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
