Chicken With Grapes Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer the browned chicken and any juices to a baking sheet or large plate.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, 1 cup of the grapes, the olives, capers, oregano, wine and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the chicken and any juices back to the skillet, skin-side-up. Sprinkle the remaining grapes around the chicken. Continue cooking over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the broiler.
• Place the skillet underneath the broiler to crisp the chicken skin, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
• To serve, divide the warm couscous among 4 plates and top each plate with 2 of the chicken thighs and a large spoonful of the sauce.

Meanwhile, put the chicken and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the herbes de Provence, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange the chicken skin-side up and roast until the chicken begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the grapes on top. Continue roasting until the chicken is golden brown and the grapes are soft, 15 to 20 more minutes. Divide the chicken, onion and grapes among plates and drizzle with the pan drippings. Serve with the couscous.

• Nestle the chicken skin-side up in between the shallots and grapes and lay the thyme sprigs on top of the mixture. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the shallots and grapes at the edges of the pan begin to soften and caramelize.
• Turn the oven to broil and move the oven rack to sit right below it. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes until the skin of the chicken is crispy and golden. Scatter with chopped thyme and season with flaky salt.
