Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Prepare the chicken by cleaning the wing bone and lifting the skin while keeping it attached.
  • Pound the herbs, parmesan, garlic, salt, and peppercorns into a paste, then stir in the olive oil.
  • Spread the herb mixture under the chicken skin and smooth it back down.
  • Fry the chicken in butter and oil for 3 minutes until golden, then roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce red wine by a third in a pan, add stock to reduce by half, and whisk in butter.
  • Sauté shallots, garlic, bacon, cabbage, and chestnuts in butter, then simmer with water until tender.
  • Spoon the cabbage onto plates, top with sliced chicken, and finish with the sauce and chervil.
