POULET AU VINAIGRE (CHICKEN IN VINEGAR)



Poulet au Vinaigre (Chicken in Vinegar) image

This classic French dish is typically made with a cut-up whole chicken. But using just one part of the bird, in this case thighs, ensures that the pieces are done at the same time. Serve this saucy braise with mashed potatoes.

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
½ teaspoon salt plus a pinch, divided
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grapeseed or canola oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 large shallot, sliced

1 large tomato, seeded and diced
¼ cup red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl and toss the chicken in it to coat, shaking off excess. (Discard the remaining flour.)
  • Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until brown on both sides, 9 to 12 minutes total. Add garlic, shallot and the remaining pinch of salt; cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato, vinegar and honey, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in broth. Bring to a simmer.

CHICKEN BRAISED IN TWO VINEGARS



Chicken Braised in Two Vinegars image

In this satisfying weeknight recipe, boneless chicken thighs are cooked in best-quality balsamic and red wine vinegar and plenty of garlic, resulting in a pleasantly sticky agrodolce sauce. You could easily crisp some pancetta before the garlic hits the pan or stir in some anchovies right before you begin to braise. This dish can be made a day or two in advance and gently reheated with a splash of water or broth, but wait until right before serving to garnish it with the fresh herbs. (They'll lose their vibrant color otherwise.) Serve over polenta or rice pilaf.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1/2 cup best-quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup best-quality red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley (optional)
2 teaspoons finely chopped oregano (optional)
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until it starts to become fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Begin cooking the chicken, making sure not to crowd the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside and begins to lightly brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it's not cooked through at this point, that's O.K.
  • If you've cooked the chicken in batches, add all of the meat and any residual juices back to the pan. Pour in the vinegars, add reserved garlic and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and allow the meat to continue to cook in the sauce, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Uncover and toss chicken well in the vinegar sauce to coat. Cook chicken about 3 to 5 minutes more or until the sauce has reduced by about half and has thickened slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and oregano, if using, and season with flaky salt, if using. Serve in bowls over polenta or with rice pilaf and spoon the remaining sauce atop.

VINEGAR-AND-GARLIC-BRAISED CHICKEN



Vinegar-and-Garlic-Braised Chicken image

A Filipino-inspired braise similar to adobo with the potent combination of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic that acts as both marinade and simmer sauce. Once the chicken is tender and the sauce reduces to a glossy consistency, it takes on a sweet and sour flavor that is delightful drizzled over a bowl of Coconut Rice and steamed baby bok choy.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups rice vinegar (unseasoned)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon turbinado or light brown sugar
3 bay leaves
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and smashed
Freshly ground pepper
8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 3 pounds total)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, bay leaves, garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; add chicken and toss until coated with marinade. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Remove chicken (reserving marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add half of chicken and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown other sides about 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Return all chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven; add reserved marinade, making sure liquid comes halfway up sides of chicken (you may need to nestle it). Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Skim fat from liquid with a spoon and discard bay leaves. Increase heat to medium‐high and reduce liquid until syrupy (you should have about 1 cup). Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

CREAMY FRENCH CHICKEN TARRAGON



Creamy French Chicken Tarragon image

Chicken, fresh tarragon, cream and white wine are no strangers to a French kitchen - and they all come together wonderfully in this classic French-bistro fare. This creamy French Chicken Tarragon, known as "Poulet à l'Estragon", is a simple one-pan recipe that's both comforting and fresh tasting. Chicken thighs are first browned and braised in white wine for tenderness. Cream is then added for extra richness. But it's really fresh tarragon, a staple herb in French cooking with assertive aniseed-like notes, that gives the distinctive flavor to this unique dish. ...

Categories     Entrées

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 1

6 chicken thighs, skin-on2 tsp salt1 tsp freshly ground black pepper2 tbsp (28g) butter (unsalted)1 medium onion (or 2 shallots), peeled and sliced2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced1 cup (250ml) chicken stock½ cup (125ml) dry white wine2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped (+ extra for garnish) ½ cup (120g) heavy creamMore salt, pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make sure you read the cooking notes before you start.
  • Step 1 - Two hours prior to cooking, rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat-dry thoroughly with paper towel. Season each piece with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside, at room temperature.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 375F (190C) with a rack in the middle.
  • Step 2 - Heat up a large oven-safe frying pan (or skillet) over medium heat with the butter. When the butter is sizzling, place the chicken thighs in, skin-side down. Cook for about 10 minutes, without touching, until the chicken skin is golden brown and the chicken is ¾ done; just firm. Flip the chicken thighs and cook for 10 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Keep the pan hot and do not rinse it (keep the chicken drippings in).
  • Step 3 - Add the onion and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly caramelized. Nestle the chicken thighs back into the pan, on top of the onion. Sprinkle with the chopped tarragon. Pour the chicken stock and white wine into the pan. Bring to a simmer and transfer the pan into the oven for 30 minutes (covered).
  • Step 4 - Take the pan out of the oven, back onto the stove top at medium heat. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil again. Stir the cream into the pan. Bring to a simmer and keep stirring until the sauce thickens (this could take 7-8 minutes). Place the chicken thighs back into the pan and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • For serving, sprinkle chicken pieces with fresh tarragon leaves.

SHEET-PAN TARRAGON CHICKEN WITH SHERRY VINEGAR ONIONS



Sheet-Pan Tarragon Chicken With Sherry Vinegar Onions image

Roasting chicken with tarragon is a classic combination, but here it's given a twist. Instead of a whole bird, bone-in thighs are marinated in tarragon and garlic, then quickly roasted over a bed of sliced onions. As the chicken cooks, the fat renders, coating the onions, while the fragrant steam rising from the onions flavors the bird. It's a succulent, easy and very flavorful dinner. If you'd rather use all white meat, substitute bone-in chicken breast halves, and start checking them after 20 minutes.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 7h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup finely chopped tarragon (leaves and tender stems), plus 4 whole sprigs
2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, more as needed
3 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (skin on)
2 large onions, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
4 thyme sprigs
Sherry vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together tarragon, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 6 hours, and up to overnight.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread onions out on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss well. Clear spaces on the baking pan, then place chicken pieces in the cleared spaces so the onions surround the chicken. Strew thyme and tarragon sprigs over onions and chicken.
  • Roast, tossing the onions after 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and the onions tender, 25 to 35 minutes. If the chicken skin or onions are not as brown as you'd like, run pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of cooking.
  • Place chicken on a platter. Drizzle onions with sherry vinegar and more salt and pepper if needed. Spoon onions around the chicken and serve.
