Recipe information

  • Total Time

    55 Minutes

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

For the Strawberry Rhubarb Glaze

3/4 cup Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar fig reduction
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
2 stalks rhubarb, trimmed and chopped

For the Chicken

2 tablespoons grape seed oil
4 pounds bone in skin on chicken quarters
fresh thyme and sliced strawberries for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

    Step 2

    In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry rhubarb glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring, then reduce heat to a simmer over low heat and allow the sauce to thicken over time. Keep an eye on it and remove from heat if needed. If sauce thickens too much, add a bit more of the strawberry preserves.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the grape seed oil in a large cast iron skillet until very hot. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt. Place the chicken skin side down and allow to crisp and golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the chicken carefully, cover, and place in the oven, cooking for another 20 minutes. Remove the lid and spoon a bit of the sauce over the chicken. Place in the oven and cook another 5 to 7 minutes.

    Step 4

    Serve the chicken on a platter with additional sauce on the side to spoon over the top.
