Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 chicken drumsticks + 2 chicken thighs (or some other combination), bone-in, skin-on
  • kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot thinly sliced
  • a few sprigs fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Season chicken on both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a small shallow baking dish such as a pie plate, whisk together the white wine, olive oil, about half of the cheese, the garlic and the shallot. Throw in the thyme sprigs and the chicken and toss all around to coat.
  • Turn chicken so that the skin is facing up and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Place in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the meat is pulling away from the bone and the skin is brown and crisp. The time it takes to cook this chicken will vary depending on your oven, on the size of the legs, if the chicken was cooked directly from the refrigerator or if it had been brought to room temperature before baking, etc. Trust your nose — if you think it’s done, take a stab. After you’ve made the recipe once or twice, you’ll have a better idea about the timing.
