Giada suggests staying home and spending a cozy evening by the fireplace or rewatching your favorite black-and-white movies. What could be better than classics, especially classic Italian cuisine? Chicken turns out incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful if you marinate the chicken pieces in a balsamic vinaigrette for a few hours before roasting. Make a simple sauce using the rendered fat, drizzling a little chicken broth onto the baking sheet, and drizzle it over the chicken when serving. Sprinkle with lemon zest and fresh parsley and serve.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. In a large zip-lock bag, combine the vinaigrette with the chicken pieces; seal the bag and toss to coat completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day, turning the chicken pieces occasionally.
  2. Preheat oven to 200°C. Remove the chicken from the bag and arrange the pieces in a large, greased baking dish. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. If the chicken is browning too quickly, cover it with foil for the remainder of the baking time..

  3. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
  4. Place the baking dish on the burner and heat over medium heat. Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the dish with a wooden spoon and mixing them with the broth and rendered chicken fat.
  5. Drizzle the chicken with the sauce from the pan. Sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley and serve.
