Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon, Thyme and Rosemary by Florence Fabricant and Nancy Silverton

Roasted Chicken Thighs with Lemon, Thyme, and Rosemary

The ease and deliciousness of this recipe, from the chef Nancy Silverton's cookbook "Mozza at Home," deserves to be emphasized. Though you need several hours of refrigeration to allow the chicken skin to dry out, which makes it crisp, you can be flexible about it; do what’s convenient. No matter what, just be sure to pat the skin dry with paper towels. You may also find the final run under the broiler unnecessary. Use your judgment. And also consider swirling in a good splash of white wine or chicken stock to the juices in the baking dish before spooning them on the chicken. — Florence Fabricant

Confit Crispy Turkey Wings with Pommes de Terre à la Sarladaise

Our favorite way to prepare heritage turkey wings is to tenderize them by cooking them slowly to break down the connective tissues and tendons. We cure our meaty wings for two days then cook it in fat with herbs and garlic thus infusing the meat with delicious flavor, then sear it in a pan to get the skin crispy. We love the large turkey wing as a substitute to the more traditional confit leg of duck.
