Directions for: Roasted Chicken Dinner with Potatoes and Artichokes on a Bed of Crispy Kale
Ingredients
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken drumsticks
4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 whole skin-on, bone-in chicken breast, quartered (separate the breast and then cut each piece in half crosswise)
EVOO, for drizzling
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb(s) baby potatoes
4 - 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped
2 small-to-medium onions, cut into thin wedges with the root ends attached
1 handful fresh bay leaves
1 frozen artichoke hearts, thawed, drained and halved, or 1 (14-oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
1 head garlic, cloves separated and crushed
1 lemon, sliced
1 cup dry white wine
1 bunch black kale or dinosaur kale, stemmed
Freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
1. Drizzle the chicken with EVOO and liberally sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
2. In a roasting pan or baking dish, combine the potatoes, rosemary, onions, bay leaves, artichokes, garlic and lemons. Drizzle with about 1/4 cup EVOO, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables.
3. Position the rack on the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F.
4. Roast the chicken and vegetables for 45 minutes. Turn on the broiler and douse the pan with the wine. Broil until crispy and brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
5. Dress the kale very lightly with about 1 tablespoon EVOO and season with salt, pepper and a few gratings of nutmeg. Spread the kale on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Broil until very crispy, about 10 minutes.
6. Divide the kale among plates and top with the chicken and vegetables.
