Pan-Roasted Chicken with Corn Relish
Ingredients
One 4-pound chicken, cut
into 8 pieces
2 heads of garlic, cloves
peeled
12 bay leaves, preferably
fresh
4 ears of corn, shucked
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and freshly ground
pepper
1 cup roasted red pepper
strips, finely chopped
1 large jalapeño, seeded
and minced
2 tablespoons chopped
basil
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 tablespoon fresh lime
juice
1/2 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons unsalted
butter
Directions
In a large bowl, toss the
chicken, garlic and bay leaves and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or
overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°.
Brush the corn with oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast
until tender, about 1 hour. Cut the kernels from the cobs and transfer to a
bowl. Add the roasted peppers, jalapeño, basil, mint and lime juice; season
with salt and pepper.
In a large ovenproof
skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil. Season the chicken with salt and
pepper. Cook skin side down over moderately high heat until golden, about 5
minutes. Turn the chicken, add the garlic and bay leaves and cook until the
garlic begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and
roast the chicken for about 25 minutes, until cooked through.
Set the skillet over high
heat and cook until the pan juices are nearly evaporated. Transfer the chicken
and garlic to a platter; pour off any fat. Add the vinegar and stock to the
skillet and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, 2 minutes.
Whisk in the butter. Serve the chicken with the sauce and relish.
