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.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR (MARK BITTMAN)



Chicken With Vinegar (Mark Bittman) image

A fantastic dish! This is from Bittman's "The Best Recipes in the World." Everything that I've made from this book has been great. I used boneless skinned breasts. The cooking method for them wasn't quite right, and I'll probably do the timing differently next time. Paul Bocuse's variation is below.

Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup minced shallot or scallion
1 cup good-quality red wine vinegar

COLE SLAW WITH MISO DRESSING



Cole Slaw With Miso Dressing image

Red cabbage is especially pretty in this dish, but green cabbage, Napa or Savoy would work just as well, so use whatever you like. This recipe makes a generous amount of dressing so that you can dress the slaw to your liking. Start by tossing the cabbage with half the miso mixture, then add more until it's dressed to your idea of perfection. Whatever you don't use can be tossed with other salad greens, drizzled over rice, or used as a dip for crunchy cucumbers, snap peas or carrots.

Categories     easy, lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons yellow or red miso
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable or other neutral oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Black pepper
1 1/4 pounds red cabbage (about 1/2 large head), cored and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso, honey, vinegar and oil. Season with a pinch of salt (miso is salty, so don't overdo it) and a few grinds of black pepper.
  • Roughly chop any long pieces of cabbage so they are bite-size. Transfer cabbage to a large bowl and toss with half the dressing, adding more as you like. Slaw can be made up to this point up to 1 day ahead.
  • Just before serving, add cilantro, peanuts and lime juice, and toss to combine.

CHICKEN UNDER A BRICK (MARK BITTMAN)



Chicken Under a Brick (Mark Bittman) image

A simple and delicious recipe from Mark Bittman's NY Times Column. Being flattened produces an evenly cooked, crisp, and moist bird with little effort. As a bonus at the end, much of the chicken's natural juices remain at the bottom of the pan; they make a perfect sauce, especially for rice. You can also do this on the grill, at direct medium-low heat for about 15 minutes on the first (skin side) and 10 minutes for the other side. (Allow marinade to drip off before grilling), SOME VARIATIONS: -- Use different herbs; sage, savory and tarragon are all great. Russians use paprika. -- Try a light dusting of cinnamon, ginger and/or other ''sweet'' spice. -- Use minced shallots instead of garlic. -- Vary the acidic ingredient: balsamic or Sherry vinegar, or lime can all pinch-hit for the lemon, depending upon the other flavors. -- Make the dish Asian, using peanut oil and a mixture of minced garlic, ginger and scallions. Finish the dish with lime and cilantro, or soy sauce and sesame oil.

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole 3- to 4-pound chicken, trimmed of excess fat, rinsed, dried and split, backbone removed
1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary (optional) or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, plus 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil
1 lemon, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Place the chicken on a cutting board, skin side down, and using your hands, press down hard to make it as flat as possible. Mix together the rosemary leaves, salt, pepper, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and rub this all over the chicken. Tuck some of the mixture under the skin as well. If time permits, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for up to a day (even 20 minutes of marinating boosts the flavor).
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 500°F Preheat an ovenproof 12-inch skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Press rosemary sprigs, if using, into the skin side of the chicken. Put remaining olive oil in the pan and wait about 30 seconds for it to heat up.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet, skin side down, along with any remaining pieces of rosemary and garlic; weight it with another skillet or with one or two bricks or rocks, wrapped in aluminum foil. The idea is to flatten the chicken by applying weight evenly over its surface.
  • Cook over medium-high to high heat for 5 minutes, then transfer to the oven. Roast for 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and remove the weights; turn the chicken over (it will now be skin side up) and roast 10 minutes more, or until done (large chickens may take an additional 5 minutes or so). To check for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; it should read 155-165°F Serve hot or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.
