A classic Italian roast chicken built on a few simple, well-balanced elements. The chicken is seared over direct heat to develop color and depth of flavor, then finished slowly in the oven surrounded by white wine and rosemary. The onions soften without falling apart, becoming sweet and succulent, while the cooking liquid concentrates into a natural, rich sauce.

1
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a cast-iron pot and let it warm thoroughly. Add garlic cloves and chicken thighs skin-side down, searing them carefully until deeply browned.
2
Season the underside of the chicken with salt and black pepper, then flip the pieces over.
3
Add the red onions, nestling some of them between the pieces of chicken.
4
Add the rosemary sprigs.
5
Pour in the white wine and season the top with additional salt and black pepper.
6
Once the alcohol has completely evaporated, transfer the pot to a 200°C static oven and roast for about one hour until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has concentrated. If there is excess liquid remaining, briefly reduce it on the stovetop.
