CHICKEN WITH RAISINS



Chicken With Raisins image

I turn to this recipe -- adapted from the French chef Madeleine Kamman, who died in the summer of 2018 - when cool weather is on the horizon. Perhaps it's the dried fruit or chicken braised in a sauce (instead of being striped on the grill) that appeals to the season. But it's an easy winner for those first dinners when fall appears. Though plumped raisins are called for, other dried fruit, like diced figs or quartered prunes work well, too.

Time 8h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup black raisins
1/2 cup brandy
1 chicken, cut in 8 pieces
3 tablespoons walnut oil
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots
3/4 cup verjus (see note)
2 tablespoons glace de viande or de volaille (concentrated meat or chicken stock) or packaged roasted chicken base
3 tablespoons crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  • Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.

1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 teaspoons orange zest plus 2 tablespoons orange juice

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

¾ cup golden raisins
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons chopped black olives
2 bay leaves
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the raisins in warm water until they plump, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, pine nuts, and olives. Season with bay leaves, oregano, and cayenne. Cook until the onions have softened and begun to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper; cook for 5 more minutes.

ORANGE CHICKEN WITH GOLDEN RAISINS AND FIGS



Orange Chicken with Golden Raisins and Figs image

Provided by Jennifer Felicia Abadi

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Marinate     Orange     Raisin     Fig

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Sauce
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped yellow onions
2 cups peeled and cubed white potatoes (any kind)
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup whole Black Mission figs or the larger, amber-colored Calimyrna figs, cut into halves
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice, strained
4 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, (preferably Lea & Perrins, or another brand that lists tamarind as an ingredient
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
Chicken
3 pounds chicken pieces (white and dark meat)
1 teaspoon salt
Several grindings of black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
To Serve
1 recipe Basic Syrian Rice (recipe can be found in book)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Prepare the chicken. Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Place on a plate.
  • 3. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, allspice, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the spices into the chicken skin.
  • 4. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken pieces and brown, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Pour the sauce over the chicken and simmer, covered, over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and very moist, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • 5. Serve the chicken pieces over rice, with the sauce spooned on top.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh orange juice and zest. Freshly squeezed juice will provide a brighter, more vibrant flavor than store-bought juice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, white wine will add a nice depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken a l'orange with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also garnish it with fresh orange slices or chopped parsley.

Conclusion:

Chicken a l'orange with raisins is a classic French dish that is both flavorful and elegant. It is perfect for a special occasion dinner or a weeknight meal.
