CHICKEN ESCABèCHE

You know what your Tuesday-night chicken wants? An irresistible tangy-sweet bath.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Chicken     Soup/Stew     Chile Pepper     Raisin     Mint

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled, chopped
6 garlic cloves, smashed
1 bay leaf
2/3 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
4 chicken legs, thighs and drumsticks separated, patted dry
1 serrano chile, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toast cumin and coriander seeds in a dry medium saucepan over medium heat, tossing, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup oil, followed by onion, carrot, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent but hasn't taken on any color, about 5 minutes. Add bay leaf, vinegar, and 1/2 cup water and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 minute. Remove marinade from heat; season with salt and pepper.
  • Season chicken generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook chicken, skin side down, in a single layer until skin is well browned and very crisp, 8-12 minutes. Turn pieces over and cook on the other side 1 minute (if cooking in batches, transfer pieces to a plate as they're done). Chicken will not yet be cooked through. Return chicken to pot, arranging skin side up and nestling pieces side by side to form as even a layer as possible. Pour in marinade (meat should be mostly submerged, but you want the skin still exposed). Scatter chile and raisins over top.
  • Transfer pot to oven and bake, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, 10-15 minutes (an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh should register 165°F). Let rest 10-15 minutes, then top with mint.

Provided by PanNan

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole chicken, cut up into parts
1 1/2 quarts water
3 medium yellow onions, sliced
2 carrots, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
5 tablespoons vinegar (or more, adjust to taste)
3 jalapeno chiles, diced (or other spicy chiles)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Put the water in large pot to boil.
  • Salt and pepper the chicken pieces and brown in large fry pan. Pour off rendered fat and add chicken to boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add chiles, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and turn down heat. Simmer for five to ten minutes.
  • Add vegetables and vinegar. Simmer for ten minutes. or until vegetables are tender and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best in this dish, as they will hold up well to the cooking process and develop a crispy, flavorful skin.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or Dutch oven. This will help to develop a rich, golden brown crust on the chicken and vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you try to cook too much chicken at once, it will not brown properly and will end up stewing in its own juices.
  • Be patient when browning the chicken. It may take a few minutes to get a nice, even crust. Don't rush the process, or you will end up with undercooked chicken.
  • Don't skip the vinegar marinade. This step is essential for developing the escabeche's characteristic tangy flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your escabeche. Common vegetables used in this dish include onions, carrots, bell peppers, and olives.
  • Serve the escabeche warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed as a main course or as a side dish.
