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.

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.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR



Chicken in Vinegar image

From the cookbook author Anne Willan, I learned her version of this classic recipe during my stay at her home in Burgundy. To tell the truth, I like it even better than sauteed chicken in wine, because the extra acid and lack of cream makes a tangier, less cloying dish.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 pounds mixed chicken drumsticks and thighs
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 head garlic, broken into unpeeled cloves
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 pound tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 bay leaf
1 cup chicken stock
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, as needed

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
  • Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.
