Chicken Legs Baked with White Wine, Olive Oil & Parmigiano Reggiano-pippin
Yield: 2
Description
Scale up as needed and use a large roasting pan if you do. Recently I doubled the liquids and used 8 chicken thighs, and it worked beautifully — I just cooked the chicken until the skin looked crisp and golden, probably close to an hour. This is a very forgiving recipe.
Ingredients
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
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450ºF. 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 30 minutes. Take a peak. If the skin is getting too brown, reduce the heat to 400ºF. Continue baking for about 20 more minutes, or until the meat is pulling away from the bone on the drumstick. 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.
