Ingredients

• ✓ kosher salt
• butter
• russet potato
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper
• cheddar cheese
• whole milk

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with 2 tablespoons butter and set aside.
2. 2 Peel potatoes and cut at a 45-degree angle into 1/4-inch thick round slices.
3. 3 Arrange 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Season the layer very generously with salt, and sparingly with the freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne, if using. Top evenly with 1/3 of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat this process two more times for a total of three layers of potatoes, except for the last third of the cheese. Slowly and carefully pour in the milk, without upsetting the layers. The milk should almost, but not quite, cover the potatoes.
4. 4 Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and place the casserole dish on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
5. 5 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is well browned and bubbling, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Season chicken thighs all over with salt and black pepper.
2. 2 Cook bacon in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, using a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in the skillet.
3. 3 Increase the heat to high; place chicken thighs, skin-sides down, into the skillet. Cook until browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate; drain and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings from the skillet.
4. 4 Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms, onion, and shallots with a pinch of salt to the skillet; cook until golden and caramelized, 7 to 12 minutes.
5. 5 Stir flour and butter into mushroom mixture until completely incorporated, about 1 minute.
6. 6 Pour red wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in bacon and thyme; simmer until wine is reduced by about ⅓, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth; return chicken thighs to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
7. 7 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven; cook for 30 minutes. Spoon skillet juices over chicken; continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near not but not touching the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a platter.
8. 8 Place the skillet over high heat; reduce skillet juices, skimming fat off top as necessary, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; remove and discard thyme. Pour sauce over chicken to serve.

2. 2 Stir together demi-glace, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
3. 3 Heat oil in a skillet over very high heat, swirling carefully to evenly cover surface. When oil reaches a smoking point, transfer steaks to oil; add a few chunks of butter.

4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until juices start to appear, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. 5 Remove the pan and generously pour 1/2 of the barbecue sauce over chicken. Continue to bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining barbecue sauce.
6. 6 Cook until no longer pink in the centers and skin is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7. 7 Serve hot and enjoy!
