Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large casserole dish with aluminum foil.
Spread the thinly sliced shallots across the bottom of the casserole dish. Scatter half of the garlic cloves and a few sprigs of thyme and rosemary on top.
Drizzle the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on top of the shallot mixture and add remaining garlic cloves around the chicken.
Pour chicken broth and white wine gently around the chicken in the casserole dish.
Roast the chicken uncovered for about 1 hour, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for an additional 5-7 minutes, then let it rest briefly before serving.
