LYON-STYLE CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR SAUCE



Lyon-Style Chicken With Vinegar Sauce image

From Food & Wine, Oct 2011. This is a wonderful, easy chicken dish that is perfect for the vinegar lover in your life! I made it with legs and thighs, but any chicken pieces will work. Just check early for the white meat to be done if you are using it. This makes enough sauce to nicely coat all of the pieces, but not enough to spoon over rice or noodles. If you like lots of sauce, I'd suggest you double that part of the recipe.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 whole chicken, cut into serving pieces
salt
pepper
3 tablespoons butter
12 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 bay leaf
1 cup banyuls vinegar or 1 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup creme fraiche or 1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F In a large deep ovenproof skillet, heat the oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, add to the skillet and cook on all sides until browned. Add 1 Tablespoon butter, and swirl the pan to coat the chicken. Turn chicken skin side up, and add the garlic and bay leaf.
  • Place the skillet in the oven, and bake about 8 minutes, or until the breast pieces are just cooked through. Transfer the breast pieces to a plate, and keep warm. Add the vinegar to the skillet, return to the oven, and continue to bake the remaining pieces, basting a few times, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken and garlic to a plate and keep warm.
  • Back on the stovetop, add the stock to the skillet and boil, scraping up any browned bits, and reduce the liquid to about 1 1/4 cups, about 10 minutees. Whisk in the creme fraiche and remaining butter. Return the chicken and garlic to the skillet along with any accumulated juices. Simmer over medium high heat, basting a few times, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over steamed rice.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR



Chicken With Vinegar image

Jean-Georges Vongerichten learned how to make this recipe from the great Paul Bocuse, who added it to his repertoire while cooking for Eugenie Brazier, his teacher at La Mère Brazier in Lyon, France. Chicken with vinegar is one of the great poultry dishes from that area, where the chickens are considered by many to be the best in the world. Mr. Bocuse insisted that it was neither the amount of work nor the cost of ingredients that determined the worthiness of a dish, but how it tasted. The variations are numerous, but the piercing flavor of vinegar is so dominant that it matters little whether you use shallots or garlic, thyme or tarragon. One technical note: Most wine vinegar sold in the United States has an acidity level of 7 percent; many French vinegars are just 5 percent acidity. So it's best to cut strong vinegar with some water.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3-pound chicken, cut up for sauteing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots or scallions
1 cup good red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; when it is hot, place chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place skillet in the oven. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until almost done (juices will run clear, and there will be just a trace of pink near the bone). Remove chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place it in the oven; turn off the heat, and leave the door slightly ajar.
  • Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking juices out of the skillet (discard them). Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add shallots; sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and raise the heat to high. Cook a minute or two, or until the powerful acrid smell has subsided somewhat. Add 1/2 cup water, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is slightly reduced and somewhat thickened. Stir in butter, if desired.
  • Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.
