Everyone loves chicken and here is the crispiest skin and most delicious chicken breast you can make in less than 20 minutes. This method of cooking, weighting the chicken, is called “chicken under a brick” but a weighted skillet is easier to manage then bricks.
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
    For the Beans (for a quick supper, use a can of cannellini beans):
    1 cup dry white beans, cannellini beans
    1 sprig rosemary
    1 small onion, halved
    1 fresh bay leaf
    Salt
    For the Chicken and Escarole:
    4 pieces boneless, skin-on chicken breast
    4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced, divided
    2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped
    2 tablespoons thyme, chopped
    Salt and pepper
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    1 onion, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1 large head escarole, cleaned and coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup chicken stock
    A few grates nutmeg
    1 lemon
    Crusty bread, for mopping

PREPARATION
Cover beans with boiling water and soak them for 1 hour. Rinse and add to a medium pot with rosemary, onion and bay leaf. Cover beans with a couple of inches of water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to keep beans at a low, rolling boil and cook until tender, 30-40 minutes. Drain and discard rosemary stem, onion and bay.

Combine half the garlic and all of the herbs in a small bowl. Loosen the skin from the chicken and rub spices across the breast meat. Replace skin and season with salt and pepper.

Warm a serving platter in oven.
Add a turn of the pan of olive oil to a cast-iron skillet. Place chicken skin-side down in the cold pan then turn on heat to medium high. Weigh down the chicken breasts with another heavy skillet or a weighted skillet. Cook 12 minutes then turn chicken and cook 6 minutes more. Add wine to pan to pick up drippings and remove to warm platter with pan juice.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to skillet, a turn of the pan. Reduce heat a bit, add onions and remaining garlic and stir to soften 7-8 minutes. Add crushed pepper flakes, stir, then wilt in escarole. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add stock and beans, and simmer a few minutes. Douse with lemon juice.
Serve the beans and greens in shallow bowls and top with a piece of crispy chicken.

Chicken wings are so much fun to eat. There’s something deeply satisfying and primitive about holding them in your hands and tearing into the wings, picking the bones clean. When prepared correctly, they’re tender, juicy chicken encased in crisp skin. As far as I’m concerned, the sauce is optional when you’ve got a well-cooked chicken wing. My favorite way to eat these is with a squeeze of lemon and a few dashes of hot sauce. Or I do a Japanese version with a splash of ponzu sauce and a dab of yuzukoshou (which is an amazing citrus/hot pepper condiment that I think the Japanese have been hiding from the rest of the world). And of course, you can’t go wrong with your favorite barbecue or teriyaki sauce. Just in time for Father’s Day, make homemade barbecue sauce to pair with these crispy skin baked chicken wings for a delicious meal.

While the best chicken wings are undoubtedly fried, that’s annoying to make at home and not the healthiest thing to eat. This preparation lets you get the essential and fantastic crispy skin in the oven, without the oil and mess. You can also throw them in the oven and step away to do something else, rather than monitoring a pot of frying oil.

One note: wait until the last possible minute to toss these in sauce. The skin will lose its crispness if it sits in the sauce for very long.

One year ago: Mango sorbet with a splash of coconut rum. This recipe is so easy because it uses mango puree. It’s so perfect and refreshing for the summertime. And bonus! It’s dairy-free.
