ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED GARLIC SAUCE AND WHITE TRUFFLE OIL WITH HERBED POTATO PUREE

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the olive oil, garlic and herbs in a very large bowl. Add the chicken and coat with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Truss the chickens and season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush with the marinade. In a hot skillet, sear the breast sides 3 to 5 minutes until golden. Place in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and continue roasting, basting with the marinade and pan juices, until the chicken is cooked through and browned, about 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let rest.
• For the sauce: In large saute pan, heat the butter and olive oil over high heat until almost smoking and saute the shallot until caramelized, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and reduce until almost dry. Add the stock and the roasted garlic and cook until reduced by half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and strain into a saucepan. Whisk in the butter. Spoon over chicken and drizzle with truffle oil.
• For the potato puree: Place basil, pine nuts and garlic and oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Pass the warm cooked potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of the herb puree, milk and butter. Mix until smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste.

GARLICKY HERB SAUCE FOR QUICK ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the garlic and pulse until the garlic is chopped into small pieces. Add the olive oil, vinegar, salt, parsley, cilantro and chile and pulse until the herbs are chopped and it turns into a sauce. The sauce gets better the longer it sits, so allow it to sit and marry for at least 10 minutes.

SEARED HERB-MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place scallions, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, fish sauce, honey, lime juice and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender. Purée until smooth.
• Scrape marinade into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, tossing to coat, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Use tongs to remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip away. Do not pat dry.
• Place chicken in skillet skin-side down and sear until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes (2 to 3 minutes if using skinless chicken), being careful not to let it burn as the sugars from the honey will start to caramelize.
• Flip chicken, transfer to oven, and continue to cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with more cilantro, limes wedges and green papaya salad if you like.
