Sauteed Chicken with Garlic and Parsley
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- One 3 1/2-pound chicken, quartered, drumsticks and thighs separated
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy casserole, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil over moderately high heat.
- Rub the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet, skin side down, and cook until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and reduce the heat to moderate, then cover and cook, turning the chicken once or twice, until the juices run clear, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a platter and remove all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
- Increase the heat to high, add the wine and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, until reduced by half, about 7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and parsley to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat for about 5 minutes.
- Cut the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter into small chunks and gradually whisk them into the sauce.
- Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
