The Pour

Which Wine?

California Pinot Noir has generous fruit aromas (think raspberry and cherry), lively acidity and plenty of depth—just the ticket for this boldly seasoned chicken dish. Premier AVAs (appellations) for Pinot Noir include Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley, Los Carneros, Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Rita Hills, but you will find elegant Pinot Noirs from cool-climate areas throughout the state.

The Recipe

北京柠檬和熏辣椒粉烤鸡

Spain’s smoky pimentón gives these succulent chicken thighs a deep, ruddy color as they roast on a bed of sliced red onion and sliced Meyer lemon. You’ll want to serve every drop of the garlicky pan juices. The soft citrus slices can be eaten or not, as you prefer. Pat the spice rub on the chicken in the morning or even the day before.

Wine suggestion: 适宜搭配加州赤霞珠葡萄酒或梅洛红葡萄酒

Ingredients

  • 4 个带骨带皮的鸡腿,总重约 1 1⁄2 磅(750 克)
  • 1 汤匙特级初榨橄榄油

擦抹用香料:

  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙粗盐或海盐
  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙干牛至,捣碎
  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙大蒜粉
  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙西班牙熏红辣椒粉
  • 1 个北京柠檬,去头,然后切成薄片
  • 1 个小红洋葱,切成两半,然后从头至根部切成薄片
  • 24 颗绿橄榄(可选)

做法

将鸡腿全部涂以橄榄油。将擦抹佐料全部放在一个小碗里,搅拌均匀。撒在鸡腿的两面。将已调味的鸡腿放在一个烤架上并放在一个盘子或托盘上,无需覆盖,放入冰箱冷藏 8 至 24 个小时。从冰箱取出鸡腿,在室温下放置 30 分钟再开始烤。将烤架放入烤箱的上三分之一处,预热烤箱至 425 华氏度(220 摄氏度)。选择一个能够将鸡腿平铺且互相没有接触的浅口大烤盘。将柠檬片和洋葱片放入烤盘,并搅拌在一起。将混合在一起的柠檬片和洋葱片铺成一层,直接将鸡腿放在上面。

鸡腿烤制 20 分钟,然后浇涂盘底汤汁。继续烤至鸡皮焦脆、洋葱和柠檬开始呈焦糖色,之后再烤 20 分钟。在鸡腿烤好约 10 分钟之前加入绿洋葱(如使用)。

让鸡腿静置 15 分钟,待鸡腿吸满汤汁后食用。
