New dinner this evening

[Old Crank]

Chicken with Shallots, lemon and garlic.
Read this a couple of days ago in the NYT.

4 chicken legs, or 8 thighs or drum sticks, I used legs and cut them into thighs and drumsticks
8 or ten shallots, I cut the tips, halved them and peeled the brown layer off leaving the root end.
8 garlic cloves, peeled, whole
1 lemon, quartered, I cut it into 8 pieces.

Preheat oven to 390F

Put the veggies into a sheet pan with some olive oil to coat them, and salt and pepper.
Season the chicken pieces and distribute in the pan. Use a generous amount of Herbs du Provence on the chicken.
Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup vermouth to the pan.
Into the oven until chicken is cooked.

I served with rice and made a small pan sauce with the drippings .
