This week's French Fridays with Dorie recipe is for M. Jacques Armagnac Chicken. This is basically a chicken roasted with brandy (or Armagnac, if you have some) with vegetables and seasoning.
I am never sure which way up to roast my chicken, and mine looks rather immodest - I assume that I got it wrong again. Oh well, it tasted good (I adore roasted chicken), but it didn't knock my socks off.
I did like the flavour of the vegetables, which were seasoned with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary and bay, and after roasting, are left to bubble away in the thickening sauce on the stovetop:
This was my dinner on night 1 of this chicken dish:
I was too lazy and it was too late at night (this dish takes around an hour and a half to make) to add some greens to the mix - perhaps tomorrow night.
