Chicken Galantine with Pommes Purée and Pickled Carrots

Ilan Hall says: “Going to the trouble of de-skinning a chicken convinces a woman you care about her—so you can blaze it.”

SKIN whole chicken. GRING meat. ADD sliced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, salt. ROLL meat up inside skin. TIGHTEN in plastic wrap until airtight, TIE ends. PLACE into barely simmering water for 10 minutes. REMOVE, COOL; STRIP plastic, PLACE in medium-heat pan with oil. BROWN all sides. BAKE 3 Idaho potatoes at 350 degrees until tender. SCOOP potatoes from skin and MILL into 1 cup boiling milk. MIX in 1/4 lb. butter and 3 tbs. olive oil until smooth. SEASON with salt. BRING vinegars (¼ cup rice, ½ cup white wine) to boil with 2 tbs. sugar, salt, pinch of red pepper flakes. POUR over cup diced carrots in container and let sit 1 hour until cool.

Olivia Munn says: “He put the skin back on the chicken ’cause he saw her and was like, ‘That girl needs to eat!’ If you’re not wearing dumb antique hipster glasses like Ilan’s, you get laid for this.”
