Chicken Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, drumsticks, or leg quarters 2 ½ to 3 lbs
  • ¼ cup avocado or olive oil
  • Sea salt & ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 medium shallots thinly sliced
  • 20 to 25 cloves garlic whole

Instructions
 

Preparation Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C.
  • Line a large casserole dish with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil.

Seasoning Instructions

  • Thinly slice the shallots, then spread them evenly on the bottom of your casserole pan. Add about half of the whole garlic cloves. Sprinkle the fresh thyme and rosemary evenly.
  • Place the chicken on top of the shallots and garlic. Drizzle generously with avocado or olive oil on both sides. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
  • Arrange the seasoned chicken skin side up in the casserole. Sprinkle more fresh thyme over the top and add the remaining garlic cloves in between the chicken pieces.
  • Pour the chicken broth and white wine along the edges of the pan.
  • Substitute white wine with lemon juice mixed with chicken broth if needed.

Roasting Instructions

  • Roast the chicken uncovered at 400°F/204°C for approximately 1 hour, until the chicken skin is golden and crispy.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the resulting pan sauce over the chicken.
  • Serve with various side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, turn on the broiler for the last 5 to 7 minutes of cooking.
