CHICKEN BRAISED IN TWO VINEGARS
In this satisfying weeknight recipe, boneless chicken thighs are cooked in best-quality balsamic and red wine vinegar and plenty of garlic, resulting in a pleasantly sticky agrodolce sauce. You could easily crisp some pancetta before the garlic hits the pan or stir in some anchovies right before you begin to braise. This dish can be made a day or two in advance and gently reheated with a splash of water or broth, but wait until right before serving to garnish it with the fresh herbs. (They'll lose their vibrant color otherwise.) Serve over polenta or rice pilaf.

Steps:
- Season chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until it starts to become fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Begin cooking the chicken, making sure not to crowd the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside and begins to lightly brown in spots, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. If it's not cooked through at this point, that's O.K.
- If you've cooked the chicken in batches, add all of the meat and any residual juices back to the pan. Pour in the vinegars, add reserved garlic and bring to a simmer. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and allow the meat to continue to cook in the sauce, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
- Uncover and toss chicken well in the vinegar sauce to coat. Cook chicken about 3 to 5 minutes more or until the sauce has reduced by about half and has thickened slightly. Sprinkle with parsley and oregano, if using, and season with flaky salt, if using. Serve in bowls over polenta or with rice pilaf and spoon the remaining sauce atop.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR
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.

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.
CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR
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.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove and leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add onion slices, and cook for 3 minutes.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR
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.

Tips for Cooking Chicken with Two Vinegars:
- Choose the Right Vinegars: Opt for high-quality vinegars with distinct flavors. Rice vinegar adds a mild, slightly sweet taste, while balsamic vinegar provides a rich, tangy note. Feel free to experiment with other vinegars such as apple cider, white wine, or sherry vinegar.
- Balance the Flavors: The key to a harmonious dish is achieving a balance of flavors. Adjust the proportions of vinegars, sugar, and soy sauce to suit your taste preferences. Start with equal parts of rice vinegar and balsamic vinegar, then adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
- Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken enhances its flavor and makes it more tender. Allow the chicken to marinate in the vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and results in a more flavorful dish.
- Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly to ensure food safety and prevent any risk of undercooked poultry. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C). This ensures that the chicken is safe to consume.
- Garnish for Presentation: Enhance the visual appeal of your dish by adding a garnish of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or chopped green onions. This adds a pop of color and freshness, making your chicken with two vinegars even more inviting.
Conclusion:
Chicken with two vinegars is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Experiment with different vinegars, adjust the flavor balance, and try various cooking methods to create a unique and delicious meal. Whether you prefer pan-frying, baking, or grilling, this dish offers endless opportunities for culinary creativity. So, gather your ingredients, fire up your kitchen, and embark on a culinary journey to savor the delightful combination of vinegars and succulent chicken.
