Chicken au Poivre

Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken, spatchcocked
  • Whole black peppercorns
  • Rosemary, finely chopped
  • Garlic
  • Shallots
  • Heavy whipping cream (a generous amount)
  • Salt
  • Olive oil
  • Dry sherry cooking wine

Directions

  • Bash whole peppercorns between two tea towels to a coarse consistency (not too fine). Add to a bowl with finely chopped rosemary, garlic and shallots.
  • Pour in a generous amount of heavy whipping cream and a good pinch of salt. Whisk. This is the sauce.
  • Spatchcock the chicken by cutting down through the breastbone so it lays flat. Season the underside with salt. Massage the skin side with olive oil and season it as well.
  • Roast at 375F for about 15 minutes, until slightly golden.
  • Pour the cream mixture all over the top and add a splash of dry sherry cooking wine.
  • Return to the oven at 400F and cook until the chicken is done, basting twice during cooking.
  • Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
