cookPan-Roasted Rosemary Chicken

From: bonappetit.com
SERVES 4

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
4 garlic cloves, chopped, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3½–4-lb. chicken, quartered
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Mix rosemary, half of garlic, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; rub over flesh side of chicken. Cover; chill 1–12 hours.

Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 400°. Pat skin side of chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to oven; roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thigh registers 165°, 20–25 minutes. Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a plate.

Cook shallot, thyme, and remaining half of garlic in skillet, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add broth and cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in butter. Serve chicken with pan sauce.
