Roasted Chicken Provencal
- 4 chicken legs or 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
- 1 lemon, quartered
- 8-10 cloves garlic, peeled
- 4-6 medium-size shallots, peeled and halved
- 13 cup dry vermouth
- 4 sprigs of thyme, for serving
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Put the flour in a shallow pan, and lightly dredge the chicken in it, shaking the pieces to remove excess flour.
- Swirl the oil in a large roasting pan, and place the floured chicken in it.
- Season the chicken with the herbes de Provence.
- Arrange the lemons, garlic cloves and shallots around the chicken, and then add the vermouth to the pan.
- Put the pan in the oven, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, then baste it with the pan juices.
- Continue roasting for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is very crisp and the meat cooked through.
- Serve in the pan or on a warmed platter, garnished with the thyme.
