Weeknight indulgence! We’re trying not to make a habit of drinking during the week, but this meal called for it. Belle Vignes Sauvignon Blanc = new affordable favorite, can’t believe the price!

I didn’t photograph the prep because honestly… spatchcocking a chicken feels very American Psycho. But trust me, it’s worth it: I spatchcock, dry brine for 48 hours, and push garlic-herbed compound butter under and over the skin.

Menu:
Spatchcocked Herbs de Provence Roast Chicken
Herbs de Provence–Dijon–Garlic Giblet Sauce
Yellow Squash Custard Gratin
Spinach & Strawberry Salad with Herbed Goat Cheese
Pommes Purée Florentine

Cozy, indulgent, and every bit worth the wine!
