How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Season both sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy skillet. Add chicken pieces a few at a time, browning on all sides (about 5 minutes per batch). Transfer to large roasting pan with the skin side facing downwards (do not crowd the chicken pieces together).

  • Step 2: In a large bowl, toss potatoes, all the onions, and garlic with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Arrange vegetables around chicken, drizzle with about half of wine or broth, and sprinkle with herbs, salt, and pepper.

  • Step 3: Roast for about 10 minutes. Turn chicken over skin side facing upwards and pour on remaining wine or broth. Continue roasting until chicken is browned and cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 20-30 minutes more.
