Chicken With Vinegar Sauce image

A garlicky, flavourful, truly seductive chicken dish. It takes time and a lot of love, but I promise you the result is heavenly. This dish is so comforting and for me, the cooking process is almost therapeutic :-). I hope you will enjoy this as much as we do. *recipe from La Reglade French Bistro, our local favorite

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 free-range chicken, cut to 8 pieces (ask your butcher to do it for you if you want)
1 bouquet garni, of thyme, bay leaf, parsley, tarragon (i.e. herbs wrapped in cheese cloth)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, diced
10 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup white wine vinegar
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper
chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Make sure chicken parts are patted dry.
  • Season them.
  • Heat olive oil in large sauté pan or dutch oven.
  • Lay the chicken skin side down (cook the chicken in batches if the pan is not large enough) turn chicken to allow it to brown evenly on all sides (about 3 minutes each side.).
  • Add butter, diced onion, garlic cloves, and sauté for a few more minutes.
  • Remove any access fat.
  • Deglaze the pot with the white wine vinegar and reduce the liquid COMPLETELY.
  • Add the bouquet garni, white wine, chicken stock and diced tomatoes to the pot.
  • Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a slow simmer, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Take off the lid, raise the temperature to medium, take out the herb sachet and cook for another 10 minutes (patience, patience! this process will reduce the liquid and thicken the sauce).
  • Plate chicken with the sauce and garnish chopped parsley.
