M. Jacques’ Armagnac Chicken~
It seems I always get a raised eyebrow when I mention that I’m making a Dorie recipe…I can’t say they’ve always received positive reviews from the hubby. But a roast chicken on the roster drew promise. The roaster, surrounded by sliced onions, carrots, potatoes, herbs, and a healthy dose of Armagnac (a French brandy), filled the kitchen with an amazing aroma during its hour in the oven.
As you can see below, my chicken did not come out golden, so required a little help from the broiler…but the meat was tender and succulent. A perfect Sunday night dinner.

This one definitely needed a little help in the color department!
Roast chicken is always a crowd pleaser in our house.
I don’t know if this was a coincidence or not, but yesterday I cooked a chicken in the same way :-)!!
I can only imagine how wonderful your kitchen smelled while this was roasting! Looks like another great Dorie recipe.
This chicken sounds like it was full of flavor. This sounds like something my husband and I would love.
I get that raised eyebrow too. This one got a thumbs up in the end. No one seemed to get a golden skin, we all needed the tanning bed. Fortunately, it didn’t take away from the end result. So yummy!
Roast chicken is one of my fave things in the world to eat. It’s just so yummy. I keep thinking about doing the Dorie thing but I am not sure we’d like most of them. Kudos to you for having at it. You rock sistah!
The tanning bed is an excellent idea. My chicken was pale so I carved it and removed the skin before serving. The chick was so moist and delicious the skin was not missed! A trip under the broiler is what I’ll do next time.
Now that looks very good!
This look really deliicous Lizzy I love cook with brandy or cognac:)
I just love roasted chicken. Even though your didn’t turn out golden, as long as it’s tender and succulent, thats all that counts. Nothing worse then a dry bird! I think I may make one tonight, going to see if Trader Joe’s has any! have a great weekend!!
I love Armagnac and am not sure if I would sacrifice some of it on a chicken, but I am sure it gave an amazing aroma and taste.
Liz…what a beautiful bird! I bet the brandy added such a special richness to the meal. And with all of those luscious roasted veggies! Congrats on your well deserved awards! : )

This chicken dish is a great weekend meal, all the ingredients cooked in one pot. I can just imagine how good your kitchen smelled, with the chicken roasting away in the breandy.
Cooking anything with any form of alcohol usually results in delicious food. 😛
