17 October 1931 - A CHICAGO MOBSTER'S CRIMINAL CAREER ENDS WITH TAXES DUE: Brooklyn native Al Capone is brought to justice after a violent criminal career, but it's not a rival's bullets or a murder conviction that
finally does him in. The 32-year-old known as 'Scarface' is convicted on
tax evasion charges and sentenced to a prison term of 11 years.

Title: Tax Rebate Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Wine, Herbs, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

8 Chicken thighs; bone-in,
- skin-on
Salt & pepper
2 tb Olive oil
2 cl Garlic
1/3 c Dry white wine
1/4 c Grilled olives
3 tb Capers
1/2 ts Crushed red chile flakes
28 oz Jar Onofrio's Basilico
- Marinara sauce
1 c Chicken stock
1 tb Fresh oregano; chopped
2 tb Flat leaf parsley; chopped

Rinse chicken thighs under cold running water and pat
dry with paper towels. Season the thighs all over with
salt and pepper. In a shallow, heavy-bottomed pan heat
the oil on medium-high. Add the thighs, skin side down,
and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
If you need more space, cook them in two batches. Remove
to a plate and set aside. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon
of oil.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic
to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until soft and
translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine to
deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that may
have accumulated on the bottom. Simmer to reduce the
liquid until almost evaporated, about 4 minutes.

Add back the chicken thighs, nestling them together,
then sprinkle in the olives, capers and chili flakes (if
using). Pour in the marinara sauce, chicken stock and
oregano. Gently stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and
cook, partially covered, until the chicken is cooked
through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Transfer the thighs to a large shallow bowl or rimmed
platter, pour the sauce over top and sprinkle with
parsley before serving.

UDD NOTES: I have made this with 4 leg "quarters" (leg
and thigh). I have used both Chardonnay and Chablis
from E & J for this - whichever I find first in the
basket of 167 ml "splits".

Title: Baseball Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Breads, Herbs
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2 c Biscuit mix; Bisquick, etc.
3 tb Cornmeal
1 1/2 ts Fine chopped fresh rosemary
+=OR=+
1 ts Crushed dry rosemary
1 ts Salt
1 ts Sweet paprika
1/4 ts Garlic powder
1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
4 tb Unsalted butter; in small
- pieces
3 lb Chicken; in 8 to 10 pieces

Place a rack in the middle of the oven and set @
375┬║F/190┬║C.

Place a paper bag inside another paper bag to reinforce
it. Then, in the inner paper bag combine the biscuit
mix, cornmeal, rosemary, salt, paprika, garlic powder
and pepper. (You may also use a food container with a
tightfitting lid rather than the bags.)

Spray the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick spray.

In a shallow microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the
microwave on HIGH for about 1 minute. Working with a few
pieces at a time, dip the chicken in the melted butter.
Gently shake the chicken pieces and use your fingers to
remove excess butter, allowing it to drip back into the
bowl.

Place the buttered chicken in the bag, or container,
and gently shake to coat.

Shake off the excess coating from each piece, then place
the pieces on the broiler rack, so they are not touching.
Breasts and thighs should be bone-side down.

Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour until golden brown and skin
is crisp.

Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.
