Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 3 1/2–4-pound chicken, quartered

Preparation
Step 1
Mix rosemary, half of garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil in
a small bowl; rub over flesh side of chicken.
Cover; chill 1–12 hours.
Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat
to 400°F. Pat skin side of chicken dry; season
with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon
oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high
heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and
cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to oven; roast until an instant-read
thermometer inserted in the thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 20–25 minutes.
Transfer chicken, skin side up, to a plate.
Cook shallot, thyme, and remaining half
of garlic in skillet, stirring occasionally, until
softened, about 2 minutes. Add broth and
cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced
by half, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in
butter. Serve chicken with pan sauce.
