My Favorite Roasted Chicken, With Jerusalem Artichokes
- 4 chicken legs or a 3-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
- Salt and fresh ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 6 large garlic cloves
- 1 pound small jerusalem artichokes, peeled
- 1 pound small red potatoes, cut in half or quarters
- 6 large shallots, peeled and halved
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup green olives, pitted
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place chicken in a shallow roasting pan; set aside. Zest the lemon into long strips, and squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl. Set aside juice.
- In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, shallots, and thyme. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and arrange in pan around chicken. Roast until chicken is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Add reserved lemon juice, wine, and olives; stir up any browned bits on the bottom of roasting pan with a wooden spoon. Return to oven, and continue cooking until liquid has thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to serving plates.
