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.

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 1/2- to 4-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 medium)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (8 fl oz)
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Cook chicken:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over once, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a small (13- by 9-inch) flameproof roasting pan, arranging it in 1 layer. Once all chicken is browned, roast, uncovered, in oven 15 minutes.
  • Make sauce while chicken roasts:
  • Discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, then add garlic, shallots, carrot, thyme sprigs (2), and bay leaves and cook over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until vegetables are browned, 3 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine, vinegar, sugar, and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Finish sauce and chicken:
  • Add chicken broth to sauce along with any juices from roasting pan and bring to a boil. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve onto chicken in roasting pan, pressing on and then discarding solids. Continue to roast chicken, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken with tongs to an ovenproof serving dish and keep warm, uncovered, in turned-off oven.
  • Meanwhile, boil sauce in roasting pan over high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a scant cup, then remove sauce from heat and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper and pour sauce over chicken.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds/1.6 kg), cut into 8 pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon butter, plus another tablespoon for finishing
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup/250 ml white wine vinegar
1 cup/250 ml chicken stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 bay leaf
1 large fresh thyme sprig
2 good handfuls chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Melt the butter and olive oil in a saute pan and brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time. You're not cooking the chicken here, just making the skin crisp and giving it color and flavor. Five minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a dish. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil down by half, about 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, and pour in the stock. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken to a clean dish and keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, pressing to get all the juices through, and whisk in the last spoonful of butter. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR



Chicken with Vinegar image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Sauce     Chicken     Side     Vinegar

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1 chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, cut into serving pieces, or 2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken parts, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup minced shallot or scallion
1 cup good-quality red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon butter, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Set a large skillet-preferably with steep sides to minimize spattering-over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and wait a minute. When it is good and hot, place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken in the oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is just about done (the juices will run clear, and there will be the barest trace of pink near the bone). Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof platter and place the platter in the oven; turn off the oven and leave the door slightly ajar.
  • Pour most but not all of the cooking juices out of the skillet. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and add the shallot; sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and raise the heat to high. Cook for a minute or two, or until the powerful 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 the butter if desired.
  • Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.

  • This is closer to the original and much richer: In step 1, brown the chicken in 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter. In step 3, add 3 tablespoons butter to the reduced vinegar sauce, stirring until it thickens.

BRICK CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR PEPPERS



Brick Chicken with Vinegar Peppers image

Weighing down the chicken with a skillet (our "brick" in this case) while you sear it ensures a crispy, golden skin. Then you sauté a mess of peppers with onion and garlic; mix in vinegar, sugar, and capers to great an agrodolce sauce; and combine it all with the browned bird, so the flavors meld as it finishes cooking in the oven.

Categories     Chicken Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), room temperature, halved and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds mixed Italian frying peppers, sliced (about 7 cups total)
1 small onion, sliced (1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons capers, drained
2 sprigs rosemary (each about 4 inches)
Creamy polenta for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in center. Season all sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium; add butter and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • When butter melts and foam subsides, add chicken, skin-side down. Place a piece of foil on top of chicken and top with a second heavy skillet to weigh down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin forms a golden-brown crust, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove top skillet and foil. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
  • Discard fat in skillet. Return to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add peppers and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned in places, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, vinegar, sugar, capers, and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then transfer to a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan or baking dish along with chicken, skin-side up, and any accumulated juices.
  • Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken reads 160°, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Return vegetables to oven; cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes more. Season. Serve chicken with vegetables and polenta, spooning juices over top.

Tips for Making Chicken in Vinegar:

  • Choose the right chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: White wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both good choices.
  • Season the chicken generously: Salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs are all good options.
  • Brown the chicken before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes are all good choices.
  • Simmer the chicken until it is cooked through: This should take about 1 hour.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken in vinegar is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
