Ingredients:
1 (4-to 5-pound) chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces |
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves |
good olive oil |
1 large head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled |
1 teaspoon saffron threads |
1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds |
1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade |
1 cup dry white wine |
3 tablespoons pernod |
1 pound baby yukon gold potatoes, halved |
rouille, for serving |
crusty french bread, for serving |
4 large garlic cloves |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1 extra-large egg yolk, at room temperature |
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
1 cup good olive oil |
Directions:
1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven and brown the chicken pieces in batches until nicely browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a plate and set aside.
2. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, saffron, fennel seeds, tomato puree, chicken stock, white wine, Pernod, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper to the pot. Stir and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the garlic is very tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
4. Carefully pour the sauce into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the Dutch oven and add the potatoes and browned chicken pieces with their juices. Stir carefully.
5. Cover the pot and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is done. Check the seasonings and serve hot in shallow bowls with big dollops of rouille and slices of crusty bread.
6. Rouille:
7. Place the garlic and salt on a cutting board and mince together. Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, saffron, and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth.
8. With the machine running, pour the olive oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube to make a thick mayonnaise emulsion. Transfer the rouille to a serving bowl and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Yield: makes 1 cup.
9. Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.
