Serves: 4

9 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried
2 tablespoon all purpose flour
3 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low salt chicken broth
1 3/4 cups beef stock or canned beef broth
2 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1 1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Cover and refrigerate.)

Seeason chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 6 tablespoon oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken halves, skin side down; cook until very brown, about l5 minutes. Using tongs, turn chicken over; cook 5 minutes longer.

Place potatoes on top oven rack and transfer skillet with chicken to bottom rack. Roast potatoes and chicken until cooked through about 45 minutes. Rewarm sauce. Cut each chicken half into 2 pieces. Arrange chicken and potatoes on platter. Serve with sauce.
