Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown chicken, skin side down first, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate, discarding oil.
  • Wipe out skillet, then boil remaining ingredients until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and braise, covered, turning once, until chicken is just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter. Boil sauce to thicken if necessary. Whisk sauce if separated and season with salt, then pour over chicken.

This recipe was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was amazing.

The chicken was a bit bland. I think I would add more herbs and spices next time.

This recipe was too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cider or add some tart apples to balance out the sweetness.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would add more liquid to the braising liquid next time.
