    Crispy Salt and Pepper Chicken with Carmelized Fennel and Shallots

     

     

     

    Original recipe author- Jamie Geller

    Recipe from Joy of Kosher: Fast, Fresh Family Recipes

    (The recipe below reflects my personal version of her recipe, but both versions are amazing)

     

     

    Ingredients:

    4 chicken legs (I prefer the drumstick and the thigh separated)

    ¼ cup potato starch (or other flour alternative- like gluten free or all purpose)

    2 teaspoons kosher salt

    1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

    ½ teaspoon paprika

    1 fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into 1 and ½ inch slices

    2 shallots, peeled and cut in half

    4 cloves garlic, smashed

    1 red pepper, cut in large pieces

    3 tablespoons olive oil

    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

     

    Directions:

    Preheat  your oven to 400 degrees (375 convection).

     

    Place the chicken, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and the paprika in a resealable plastic bag and toss to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour. Place the chicken, fennel, shallots, garlic, and red pepper in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the last of the salt and pepper. Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

     

    Plan ahead:

    This chicken is crispiest and tastes best on the day it is made. HOWEVER, any leftovers are surely good enough for me- but not for company.
