Provided by Sia Ribagina

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

cabbage juice - 1 1/5 cups (300 ml)
chicken broth - 2/5 cup (100 ml)
bay leaf - 2
black pepper - 5 - 6 grains
oil - 2/5 cup (100 ml)
paprika - 2 tablespoons, smoked
sauerkraut - 1 medium - sized cabbage
chicken legs - 4

Steps:

  • Wash the chicken meat and cut it into portions. Cut the sauerkraut finely. For this recipe I used an earthenware pot. If you dont have one you can use a deep oven dish, covered with aluminum foil as a lid.
  • Place half of the sauerkraut in the dish, arrange chicken on top, with bay leaf and grains of black pepper between them. If necessary, add salt. In this case I did not because the sauerkraut is plenty salty to my taste.
  • Add the rest of the sauerkraut on top, sprinkle it with paprika, oil, add the broth and cabbage juice and mix with your hands so that all the products get flavored.
  • The paprika I used is the smoked type. If you dont have any, use regular paprika but smoked paprika has an incredible aroma and can be found in all major stores.
  • Close the pot with a lid and put it in the oven at 390°F (200 °C) for 30 minutes, then reduce to 320°F (160 °C) and stew for half an hour.
  • Finally, remove the lid and using a fork, lift the chicken meat out to the very top. Put it in the oven again at 360°F (180 °C) for another 20 minutes until the meat turns golden brown.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small (4 pound) roasting chicken, trussed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups drained, tightly packed sauerkraut (reserve 1/4 cup of juice)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry vermouth
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe chicken inside and out and season the cavity with salt and pepper.
  • Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water and drain well.
  • Heat the oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large oven-proof casserole and brown the chicken on all sides. Be careful not to break the skin. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off the fat from the casserole.
  • Heat the two tablespoons of butter in the casserole and saute the onion over medium heat until soft. Add the sauerkraut and garlic and cook a few minutes longer. Spread the sauerkraut over the bottom of the casserole and place the chicken on top of it. Put the bay leaf on the chicken, pour the vermouth around the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven to roast for one hour.
  • Lift chicken from the casserole, draining any juices from the cavity and rest it on a platter. Using a slotted spoon, drain the sauerkraut from the casserole and spread it around the chicken and cover the platter with foil to keep it warm.
  • Add the chicken stock to casserole and heat juices. Dissolve the cornstarch in the one-quarter cup of cold reserved sauerkraut juice and gradually stir this mixture into the simmering sauce. Season to taste. Pour a little of the sauce over the chicken and pass the rest at the table.

PORK ROAST AND SAUERKRAUT



Pork Roast and Sauerkraut image

My family which is mostly German-Irish ate the same meal for New Year's every year of my life. It consisted of pork roast, sauerkraut, kielbasa and mashed potatoes. We ate the pork (pork roast and kielbasa) because pigs are a symbol of progress. Pigs push forward, rooting themselves in the ground before moving, and we need to move into the New Year in the same way. We eat sauerkraut, as it's believed it will bring blessings and wealth for the new year. It also reminds us that with the good comes the bitter as well. We eat potatoes to remind us that even as poor men we still had potatoes to eat.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds sauerkraut, drained
2 pounds chicken leg quarters (about 3), split into drumsticks and thighs (see Smart Strategy note) and patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound kielbasa, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 medium carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups dry white wine, such as dry Riesling or Pinot Gris
2 tablespoons sugar
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cover sauerkraut with water. Heat a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add to pot, skin side down, and cook, turning until browned on all sides, 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add kielbasa, cut side down, to pot and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes, flipping once. Add carrots, onion, and 1/2 cup water; cook, stirring and scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until water is evaporated and onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil.

Braised Chicken Legs in Sauerkraut image

Steamed baby potatoes make a nice side dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 pounds chicken legs
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 3 1/2 cups)
3 large carrots, peeled and grated
4 cups store-bought sauerkraut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken on all sides with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion to skillet. Cook, scraping up browned bits, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in carrots and sauerkraut until well combined.
  • Transfer sauerkraut mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle chicken legs in mixture, cover with parchment-lined foil, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to 425 degrees, and bake until top is lightly caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken legs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the perfect roast chicken, choose a whole chicken that is plump and has moist skin. Look for a chicken that is free of bruises, tears, or cuts.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before roasting the chicken. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired seasonings, before roasting. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Roast the chicken for the correct amount of time. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken. A good rule of thumb is to cook the chicken for 20 minutes per pound, plus an additional 10 minutes.
  • When the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the chicken and make it more tender.
  • Serve the roast chicken with sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, and gravy. This is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone at the table.

Conclusion:

Roast chicken with sauerkraut is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your roast chicken is cooked to perfection and that everyone at the table enjoys it.
