POULET AU VINAIGRE (CHICKEN IN VINEGAR)



Poulet au Vinaigre (Chicken in Vinegar) image

This classic French dish is typically made with a cut-up whole chicken. But using just one part of the bird, in this case thighs, ensures that the pieces are done at the same time. Serve this saucy braise with mashed potatoes.

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



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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces work best. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. For a classic French flavor, use a red wine vinegar. Other good options include white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the vinegar mixture for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will help to keep them crisp and flavorful.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Poulet au vinaigre is best served hot, with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Conclusion:

Poulet au vinaigre is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, tangy vinegar, and flavorful vegetables is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give poulet au vinaigre a try. You won't be disappointed!
