24 August 79 CE - VESUVIUS AWAKES, DARKENING SKIES AND BURYING CITIES:
An ash and cinder plume rockets into the afternoon sky of southern Italy
as Mt. Vesuvius erupts with a terrifying force, killing tens of
thousands in Pompeii with searing heat and burying them in ash where
they lay. The eruption's flows also consume the city of Herculaneum.

Title: Chicken Vesuvius
Categories: Poultry, Potatoes, Herbs, Wine
Yield: 4 Servings

1/4 c Olive oil
8 cl Whole garlic
5 lb Whole chicken; cut-up or
- parts
8 Potatoes; peeled, quartered
Salt & fresh ground pepper
1 ts Dried rosemary **
1/2 c White wine

Heat olive oil in oven proof skillet. Add whole garlic
cloves, saute until cloves are a golden brown on all
sides. When garlic is brown remove from pan and set
aside.

Add chicken pieces to skillet, cook until skin is brown
(chicken will not be done yet).

Add quartered potatoes to the pan, fitting around and
between chicken pieces. Return garlic cloves to the pan
also fitting around chicken and potatoes. Season all
with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle rosemary over
all. Add white wine around edges of skillet so as not to
wash off spices from chicken and potatoes.

Bring to a simmer on top of the stove, then cover
skillet and place in a 400ºF/205ºC oven. Cook until
chicken is very tender and potatoes are soft, about
35-40 minutes.

* If using new red potatoes the skin can be left on.

** Fresh rosemary may also be used in this dish,
increase amount to 1 tablespoon.
