You ever hear of chicken savoy? Now let me tell ya, this here dish is somethin’ special. It’s real simple, and it don’t need all them fancy ingredients folks talk about in them cookbooks. Nope, just a few good things from your kitchen, and you got yourself a mighty fine meal. I reckon if you wanna make it just like the ones they serve up at that Belmont Tavern, you’ll be mighty pleased. That place, well, it’s been servin’ up all kinds of folks from movie stars to singers, and it ain’t just the crowd that makes it famous, it’s the chicken. Yep, that chicken savoy has been known to make people come back for more.
Now, the first thing you need is some chicken. You can use chicken breasts, thighs, or even drumsticks. Whatever you got, it’ll work just fine. Next, we gonna need some good ol’ olive oil. Don’t be shy with it now, because that’s what’s gonna make it crispy and tasty. And don’t forget some chicken stock, gotta keep it juicy. Oh, and garlic, lots of garlic. I always say, you can never have too much garlic. Then, throw in a bit of oregano for that herby taste, and Romano cheese – that’s the real deal, gives it that extra kick.
Now, before we start, you’ll want to preheat your oven. I say around 400 degrees Fahrenheit, but you just do it until it’s nice and hot. Meanwhile, grab yourself a big ol’ baking dish, and put your chicken pieces in there. Coat ‘em real good with the olive oil. Sprinkle that garlic on top, and get your oregano and Romano cheese all mixed in with it. You’ll wanna make sure every bit of chicken is covered, ’cause that’s where all the flavor’s gonna come from.
Once you got that all set up, you’ll want to pour some chicken stock in the bottom of the dish. Just enough to cover the bottom, ‘cause it’ll keep the chicken moist as it cooks. Then, cover it with some foil, and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 30-40 minutes, depending on how big your chicken pieces are. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken’s all golden brown on the outside, and nice and tender on the inside.
But here’s the trick that makes it so good—while it’s cookin’, you gotta make the sauce. Now, don’t get too worried; it’s as easy as pie. Grab you a small saucepan, and pour in a little more olive oil. Heat it up, then add some garlic and let it cook for just a minute. After that, you’ll add in some red wine vinegar. It gives it that tangy kick that makes chicken savoy stand out. Stir it around, and let it simmer until it thickens up just a little.
When your chicken’s done, take it out of the oven and pour that sauce over the top. The vinegar sauce will give it a nice shine, and the garlic and cheese will mix together real good. You can serve it just like that, or with some pasta on the side. I always like to have a nice big bowl of pasta, the kind you can twirl around your fork. The flavors all come together so well, you’ll be lickin’ your fingers when you’re done.
So there you have it, chicken savoy, just like they make at the Belmont Tavern, except you ain’t gotta be a star to enjoy it. Just a few simple ingredients and a little patience, and you got yourself a meal that’ll make your taste buds sing. Next time you’re lookin’ for a nice dinner, try this recipe. It’s easy, it’s tasty, and it’ll make you feel like you’re sittin’ in a fancy restaurant, even if you’re just at home with the family.
