Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 392°F. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil and add the salted duck liver. Sear for one minute on each side, then transfer to a plate. In the same skillet, add 30 grams of butter, finely sliced shallots, and garlic, along with chili flakes, and sauté for three minutes.

Step 2

Pour in the vinegar and deglaze the pan. Place the onion-garlic sauce into a blender along with the liver and blend, gradually adding 50 ml of vegetable oil. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt, and mix well.

Step 3

Season the chicken halves with salt and pepper. Heat a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil in an ovenproof skillet, place the chicken skin-side down, and sear for two minutes. Then, flip the chicken and add two crushed garlic cloves, thyme, and a tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Shake the skillet to let the butter melt and spread, then place the chicken in the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4

Meanwhile, mix the frisée leaves with seedless red grapes, toasted walnuts, parsley, onion, and tarragon. Add a pinch of salt. Dress the salad with the juice of the second lemon and divide it onto plates. Arrange the chickens and liver on top, then drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
