The sweet of sherry and the sharp of shallot come together to form a sauce that's more than just fabulous “s” sounds. It's two kinds of sherry, wine and vinegar, and that most pun-friendly of herbs, thyme, boiled down and made into a beautiful and subtle union, one that adorns the chicken with flavor and class. And to that loveliness we add some butter? So sublime. Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
