When I first got Supernatural The Official Cookbook I noticed the subtitle was Burgers, Pies, and Other Bites From the Road and was a little worried that it would be nothing but unhealthy, artery clogging food. Then I remembered that Sam Winchester is kind of a health nut so there would have to be some healthy stuff in there, not to mention the fact that every once in a while the brother's actually got a home cooked meal from their fellow hunter and surrogate mom, Jody.
So tonight we will be watching Season 11, Episode 12, Don't You Forget About Me. This episode has a great "family" dinner scene where the boys enjoy chicken-shaped chicken and a hilarious sex ed talk.
6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken (breasts, legs, or thighs)
Salt and pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
5 Tbsp butter, divided
2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash the chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 Tbsp of the butter. Place the chicken skin-side down and sear until the skin is crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
3. Transfer the chicken to a roasting pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces, until the internal temperature in the thickest part reads 180 degrees.
4. While the chicken is roasting, make a sauce in the skillet. Pour off most of the rendered fat but leave the brown bits in the pan. Over medium heat, brown the garlic, then add the wine and reduce for 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add the chicken broth and cook another 3 minutes. Add the remaining 3 Tbsp butter and the thyme and rosemary, and stir until the butter is melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove the chicken form he oven and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
Serve it like Jody did, with mashed potatoes and green beans.
This meal was amazing! The chicken had a crispy, crunchy skin and it was so juicy. The sauce was so good! I will definitely be making this again.
