Ingredients
- 4 chicken quarters
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup flour
- 10 shallots, peeled
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 Tbsp herbs de Provence
- ½ cup Castelvetrano olives, pitted
- ½ cup Vermouth or white wine
- 2 Tbsp artichoke spread, or small container jarred artichoke hearts, drained
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place peeled shallots and garlic on the bottom of a large roasting pan.
- Dredge the chicken. Season chicken on both sides with 1 tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Dredge chicken quarters in ½ cup flour on all sides, then shake off any excess. Place chicken legs on top of shallots and garlic.
- Season with herbs de Provence. Generously sprinkle dried herbs de Provence on top of chicken.
- Add liquid. Combine ½ cup Vermouth and 2 Tbsp artichoke spread in a small bowl, then whisk to combine. Pour into the roasting pan around the chicken. Scatter with green olives. See note below.
- Cook chicken. Place chicken in the oven then cook for 45 minutes, basting the chicken with the pan juices once halfway through. Garnish with flaky sea salt and serve immediately.
Notes
- Artichoke swap: No artichoke paste? Add a small jar of drained artichoke hearts with the shallots and garlic, then deglaze with Vermouth or wine as directed.
- Crispy tip: Drain olives (and artichokes) well—too much liquid prevents crisping.
- Chicken: Thighs or breasts work, but use bone-in for best flavor. Cook to 165°F / 74°C internal temperature.
