ALSACE CHICKEN



Alsace Chicken image

This recipe comes from the Alscace Lorraine region of France and is made with heavy cream and Reisling wine. French beans and garlic mashed potatoes are a must with this rich dish. Because of the cooking time, I recommend using Chicken Thighes (on the bone and skin on)

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons salted butter
8 chicken thighs
1 large onion, halved and sliced
8 ounces mushrooms, halved
4 tablespoons brandy
2 cups riesling wine
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat and add the chicken thighs skin side down. Cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and turn over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  • Using a metal ladle, warm the brandy quickly and ignite the surface of the brandy using a lighter. Pour the brandy slowly and evenly over the chicken and wait for the flames subside. Be careful not to boil the brandy in the ladle as this boils off the alcohol. Pouring slowly and evenly will avoid "Flare-up"
  • Remove chicken and place in a casserole dish. Keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add onions to skillet and cook gently for about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms to pan and cook for a further 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and mushrooms and place in casserole dish with Chicken.

  • Cook the casserole in the oven uncovered for about an hour and 15 minutes.
  • Pour off the liquid into a skillet and keep chicken warm. Reduce the liquid down to about 2 cups. Add cream and salt and pepper to taste and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Pour mixture over chicken and serve.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pound), backbone discarded and chicken cut French style into 8 pieces (see cooks' note, below)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped (2 cups)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
4 medium carrots, halved diagonally
1 cup dry white wine (preferably Alsatian Riesling)
1 1/2 pound small (2-inch) red potatoes
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream
Fresh lemon juice to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F with rack in middle.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a rounded 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a wide 3 1/2- to 5-quart heavy ovenproof pot over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning once, about 10 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, wash leeks and pat dry.
  • Pour off fat from pot, then cook leeks, shallot, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until leeks are pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken, skin sides up, with any juices from plate, carrots, and wine and boil until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover pot and braise chicken in oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While chicken braises, peel potatoes, then generously cover with cold water in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, then return to saucepan. Add parsley and shake to coat.
  • Stir crème fraîche into chicken mixture and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then add potatoes.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy skin, start by patting the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the skin crisp up nicely in the oven.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken and 175°F (79°C) for chicken breasts.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving to enhance the presentation and flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or gravy, to add extra flavor and moisture.

Conclusion:

Alsace chicken is a versatile and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to bake, roast, or grill the chicken, you'll end up with a delicious and satisfying meal. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful sauce, Alsace chicken is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
