ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL
The kind of fennel we see in supermarkets (which, almost needless to say, is cultivated, not wild) is wonderful when cooked to full tenderness, so I thought it might make a good base for chicken, which is heavier than fish and takes longer to cook. The idea was that the fennel would lend its flavor to the chicken, the chicken would lend its juices to the fennel and the creation would need little else. The results were better than expected. Garnished with parsley and served with a bit of lemon (especially when caramelized, fennel can be quite sweet), the dish has an elegant look and delicious, surprisingly complex flavor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle bottom of shallow roasting pan or baking sheet with about half the olive oil and cover it with a layer of the fennel. Overlap pieces if necessary but use whole pan. Drizzle remaining oil over fennel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cut up chicken if necessary and sprinkle the pieces with salt and pepper.
- Top fennel with the chicken parts, skin side up. Ideally, you'll have a layer of fennel pretty much covered by a layer of chicken, but it's fine if some of the fennel roasts uncovered. Spoon some of the oil from bottom of pan over chicken. If there is not enough, drizzle additional olive oil over the chicken. Roast about 15 minutes, then baste chicken with pan drippings and rotate the pan. If necessary, adjust oven temperature so chicken browns but does not burn.
- The chicken will be done in about 30 minutes. Serve each piece with some fennel and a little of the pan juices spooned over, garnished with parsley and a lemon wedge.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH FENNEL AND SPRING ONIONS
Steps:
- Allow the chicken to come to room temperature, up to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat it dry. Remove the wing tips, reserving them with the neck for broth if desired (see Note). Coat the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the butter, and season it inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- Coat a large, heavy roasting pan with 1 teaspoon of the oil. Trim the fennel and spring onion bulbs, reserving the fennel fronds and green onion tops. Cut each fennel bulb and the onions in half lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch-wide lengthwise slices. In a medium bowl, toss the fennel, onion bulbs, and garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to coat. Arrange the vegetables in the roasting pan, put the chicken on top, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, slice the green onion tops into thin rings, and tear the fennel fronds into small sprigs to make about 3 cups total.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and give the vegetables a stir so that they color evenly. Roast for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is done-the skin will be crisp and deep golden brown, the juices will have just a tinge of light pink, and an instant-read thermometer placed in the thickest part of the thigh will read 165°F.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the chicken to a platter, tent it with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. In the meantime, if the fennel and onions are not yet golden brown, return them to the oven to roast for another few minutes on their own until they are well caramelized.
- Put the roasting pan over medium-high heat and add the wine and stock, scraping the bottom of the pan and stirring the vegetables. Simmer for about 3 minutes, until the sauce has a slightly syrupy consistency. Add the fennel fronds and green onion tops. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, swirling it in until it dissolves and thickens the sauce.
- Carve the chicken into serving pieces, adding any juices that accumulate on the carving board to the sauce. With a slotted spoon, spread the vegetables on a warm serving platter. Arrange the chicken over the vegetables, and spoon the sauce on top.
