- 1 pound red or green grapes
- 6 pieces chicken, drumsticks and thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons shallot, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
- Toss the grapes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them evenly in a cast iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, coat the chicken pieces with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken pieces on top of the grapes in the skillet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken to a plate.
- Place the skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the minced shallot and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the chicken with the grape sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
Use your favorite type of grapes, either red or green. A cast iron skillet is ideal for this recipe as it helps to develop a flavorful pan sauce. The sauce can be enriched with additional cream if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
