Crispy Skin Chicken and Salad

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper, both inside and out.

  2. 2

    Crisp the Skin

    Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breast-side down and sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip the chicken.

  3. 3

    Roast the Chicken

    Add rosemary to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

  4. 4

    Make the Cabernet Jus

    In a saucepan, combine cabernet wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half. Stir in butter, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine radicchio, ricotta, sliced peaches, and torn prosciutto. Toss gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Carve the chicken and serve with the salad on the side, drizzled with the cabernet jus.
