Chicken Savoy I Made It

Chicken Savoy

Nice chicken recipe! I used only chicken quarters. I recommend really getting the marinade under the skin to get that flavor into the chicken meat. Marinated mine for 24 hours. Skipped the cheese, but I did love the drizzle of balsamic at the end, nice!

DIZ3, I've tried all sorts of balsamic vinegars and hated every one, but absolutely LOVE this one that Mommyluvs2cook recommended: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/vsop-balsamic-vinegar/?pkey=e%7Cbalsamic%2Bvinegar%7C79%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C13&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH

It's fantastic and sweet enough that I use it 'as is' to drizzle on salads instead of salad dressing. At $30.00 a bottle, it's a bit pricey, but soooo worth it. Right now, it looks like it's on sale in the above link. I would venture to say that you would love it!

Made this last night for dinner. Cut the ingredients down a bit as I just did four skinless chicken thighs for Hubby and I. I didn't read the recipe through at first so didn't realize I was supposed to marinate it. Oops.
I simply put the olive oil, lemon juice and all the herbs and spices on it and then did manage to let it sit in the fridge for an hour. I didn't add any chicken stock at all just because I thought it looked like it'd be nice and flavourful and didn't have the time to let it marinate in the proper 'bath' anyway.
Loved all the flavour and the bit of heat from the red pepper flakes.Used parmesan cheese instead of romano just because I had it on hand.
Baked it in a 350F oven for an hour and they were lovely. Lots of juice just from the chicken itself which mixed with all the seasonings and was very nice poured over top the chicken. Threw a halved baked potato in with the chicken at the same time to cook and it absorbed some of the nice taste as well.
Loved the balsamic drizzle at the end.
Yummy recipe.

I made a version of this last-night. I'm not sure I'll rate it though. I didn't have lemon, so I used orange juice in the marinade (didn't taste it) And instead of the dry dressing pkg and oil, I used an Olive oil based zesty Italian dressing. I didn't know why the garlic and everything else was separate as it seems to me you cook the chicken in the marinade, right? So I added the garlic and seasonings (no cheese) to the marinade. And followed the amounts to the letter! I marinaded it for about 8 hours.
I poured it all in my baking dish and cooked it at 400f for 45 minutes. (My casserole dish can't go in a 450f oven) It was good, but not great--I probably wouldn't make it again. But that might be my fault for not fully following the recipe exactly?? I used the leftover cooked marinade in my rice pilaf, thinking it would have lot's of flavour--but it needed more garlic and herbs for me. I saw other recipes online for savoy chicken that didn't call for a marinade, that might have more flavour as I think chicken pieces often benefit from a dry rub and dry roast. :)

Great photo's ladies. I didn't like balsamic until I bought some aged, read pricey, a few months ago. Now I'm putting it on everything.
