Description

This chicken with wild fennel is a dish that I often prepare, especially when I want to bring an authentic and Mediterranean flavor to the table. The intense aroma of wild fennel, combined with fennel seeds, envelops the chicken meat making it incredibly tasty. The preparation is simple and quick, perfect for a family dinner or a Sunday lunch. The chicken, baked in the oven, remains tender and juicy, impregnated with the fresh and pungent aromas of fennel. A true triumph of flavors that recalls the culinary traditions of my land. Ideal to accompany with crispy baked potatoes!

Ingredients (5 ingredients)

1 piece Chicken
1 bunch Wild fennel
Fennel seeds
Extra virgin olive oil (EVO)
Salt

Preparation (7 steps)

Preparation of wild fennel

Thoroughly wash the bunch of wild fennel under cold running water. Dry it gently with kitchen paper.

Flavoring the chicken

Insert a generous amount of wild fennel, fennel seeds and salt inside the chicken cavity. The quantity of the aromas can be adjusted according to personal tastes.

Preparation of the fennel bed

Distribute tufts of wild fennel on the bottom of a baking dish, creating a sort of green bed.

Positioning the chicken and seasoning

Place the stuffed chicken on the fennel bed. Grease the surface of the chicken with extra virgin olive oil, massaging lightly to make it penetrate well. Add an adequate amount of salt and cover with other tufts of fennel.
