@seattlehanddoc One of the most delicious chickens we have ever had! Philly said “Top 10” Roasted Chicken in Creamy Onion Sauce over Pancetta Frisée Salad I saw this recipe by @cocolarkincooks and it did not disappoint. I had been meaning to make this for months Ingredients * 1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs) * 2 tsp olive oil, divided * 1 tbsp Maldon salt (for the chicken) * 2 yellow onions, sliced * 10+ fresh thyme sprigs * 2 tsp Maldon salt (for the onions) * ¼ tsp black pepper * 1½ pints heavy cream * 10 garlic cloves, smashed * ⅓ cup dry white wine * Juice of 1 lemon * Chopped chives or parsley, for serving Method Preheat the oven to 375°F convection. Drizzle a roasting pan with olive oil, place the chicken on top, rub with the remaining oil, and season generously with Maldon salt. Roast for 15 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, onion salt, and pepper around the chicken. Pour the heavy cream over everything, then add the white wine. Roast for 45–60 minutes, basting every 15 minutes and stirring the onions occasionally. When the chicken is almost done, increase the oven to 400°F to crisp and brown the skin. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, pouring any juices from the cavity back into the pan. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, then return the sauce to the oven for about 15 minutes until slightly thickened and golden in spots. Stir in the lemon juice. Warm Frisée Salad * 1 large head frisée, torn into bite-size pieces * 4–6 oz pancetta, diced * 1 tbsp butter * 1 shallot, finely diced * 2–3 garlic cloves, minced * 1 tbsp Dijon mustard * 2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar) * 2–3 tbsp olive oil * Salt & black pepper, to taste * Shaved or finely grated aged cheddar Method Cook the pancetta in a skillet until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Add the butter, then cook the shallot until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the Dijon and vinegar, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper. #roastedchicken #castiron #onepanmeal #easyrecipe #fieldcompanypartner @fieldcompany
