Drunken Chicken Recipe
The aroma in the kitchen will delight your senses after the chicken has been in the oven for 45 minutes. This is a one pot recipe and very easy to make. Be sure to use a good quality white wine. Kendall Jackson is safe bet (consistent quality regardless of vintage and is inexpensive for cooking). I used a Chardonnay, but any dry white wine would work well so long as you do not use a sweet dessert wine such as a Riesling or Gewürztraminer. This is a fun recipe to make with friends.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds bone in, skin on, chicken pieces (legs, thighs, breasts, wings)
- 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- ½ c mini peeled carrots, chopped
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Herbs de Provence
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ c water
- ½ bottle Chardonnay

Directions
First, enjoy a glass of wine.
Preheat oven to 375. Wash chicken and pat dry.
Put chopped ingredients in the bottom of a large, heavy pot that can be placed in the oven.
Place chicken on top of chopped vegetables, sprinkle with salt, Herbs de Provence, and freshly ground black pepper.
Add water and wine.
Cover, bake 2 hours.
Remove chicken and vegetables from pot.
Stir cornstarch into hot water and whisk into the hot broth. Whisk until all white lumps are gone.
Cover. Return to oven for 8 more minutes to thicken gravy.
