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.

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:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best for this dish, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Brown the chicken before adding it to the sauerkraut: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves are all classic additions to sauerkraut, but you can also add other spices and seasonings to your taste.
- Cook the sauerkraut slowly: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, dumplings, or noodles: These dishes will help to soak up the delicious sauce from the sauerkraut.
Conclusion:
Chicken a la kraut is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give chicken a la kraut a try.
