Ingredients for 1/2 Agrodolce Chicken with Gremolata

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken halves with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken skin-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Make the Agrodolce Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over the seared chicken in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Gremolata

    While the chicken is baking, mix together the chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the gremolata.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle some of the agrodolce sauce over the top. Serve with a generous sprinkle of gremolata.
