Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chopped anchovy fillets, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this marinade all over the chicken halves and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a little olive oil. Sear the chicken halves, skin-side down, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Braised Escarole

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped escarole and spring onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until wilted. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Combine and Finish Cooking

    Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it on top of the escarole. Cover and reduce heat to low. Let it braise for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle with Castelvetrano olives before serving. Enjoy your half chicken with braised escarole and olives!
