The dark meat of the chicken is full of wonderful flavor, and becomes even more delicious when allowed to cook in its own juices from the fatty skin. For this recipe, we place shallot and garlic under the skin to infuse the chicken with flavor, and simply sprinkle salt and pepper over top. The crisp skin adds the perfect crunch when taking that first juicy bite!

We really liked this recipe. The only change I made was I cooked the chicken @ 350 degrees for 60 minutes. I don’t like to cook anything higher because I’ve heard that it’s unhealthy. I paired this up with the Cucumber and Tomato Salad which was really good as well.
I think the nutritional iformation is incorrect…I love this site!!!
Silverrose – yes, that indeed looks incorrect. We’ll fix immediately! Thank you for pointing that out. -Bill

Love this chicken, so easy, yet impressively delicious!
I’ve made something very similar and very yummy for years, but with different seasoning. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, then put a bay leaf under each thigh. Bake at 350 for about an hour, or until skin is crispy and juices are clear. Sometimes I turn the heat up a little at the very end to crisp the skin better. Chicken just falls off the bone. Excellent with lots of fresh lemon juice.
I will definitely be trying this one! Thanks
Just a quick question for clarification. My broiler pan is in two parts.
The top is a slotted piece to allow the dripping of juices and fat. The bottom piece is just a large pan. Where are you putting the chicken? You say to put it in the pan, does that mean the bottom piece?
Thanks
