Vinegar-and-Garlic-Braised Chicken image

A Filipino-inspired braise similar to adobo with the potent combination of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic that acts as both marinade and simmer sauce. Once the chicken is tender and the sauce reduces to a glossy consistency, it takes on a sweet and sour flavor that is delightful drizzled over a bowl of Coconut Rice and steamed baby bok choy.

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups rice vinegar (unseasoned)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon turbinado or light brown sugar
3 bay leaves
1 head garlic, cloves peeled and smashed
Freshly ground pepper
8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 3 pounds total)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, bay leaves, garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; add chicken and toss until coated with marinade. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Remove chicken (reserving marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add half of chicken and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown other sides about 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Return all chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven; add reserved marinade, making sure liquid comes halfway up sides of chicken (you may need to nestle it). Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Skim fat from liquid with a spoon and discard bay leaves. Increase heat to medium‐high and reduce liquid until syrupy (you should have about 1 cup). Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3- to 4-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar or other white wine vinegar
4 shallots, peeled and finely chopped

1 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
6 to 8 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
1/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat, and sauté chicken until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes a side. Transfer chicken to a platter.
  • Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet. Add the red and white vinegars, and deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a spatula. Add the shallots, and sauté briefly until they become translucent. Add the white wine, and bring to a boil. Return chicken to the pan, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, then transfer chicken to a platter.

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR



Chicken in Vinegar image

From the cookbook author Anne Willan, I learned her version of this classic recipe during my stay at her home in Burgundy. To tell the truth, I like it even better than sauteed chicken in wine, because the extra acid and lack of cream makes a tangier, less cloying dish.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 pounds mixed chicken drumsticks and thighs
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 head garlic, broken into unpeeled cloves
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 pound tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 bay leaf
1 cup chicken stock
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, as needed

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
  • Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.

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.
  • Paul Bocuse's Poulet au Vinaigre
  • 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.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR



Chicken with Vinegar image

Categories     Chicken     Garlic     Roast     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Red Wine     Shallot     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (3 1/2- to 4-lb) chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 medium)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (8 fl oz)
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • Cook chicken:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning over once, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken as browned to a small (13- by 9-inch) flameproof roasting pan, arranging it in 1 layer. Once all chicken is browned, roast, uncovered, in oven 15 minutes.
  • Make sauce while chicken roasts:
  • Discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet, then add garlic, shallots, carrot, thyme sprigs (2), and bay leaves and cook over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until vegetables are browned, 3 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine, vinegar, sugar, and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Finish sauce and chicken:
  • Add chicken broth to sauce along with any juices from roasting pan and bring to a boil. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve onto chicken in roasting pan, pressing on and then discarding solids. Continue to roast chicken, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken with tongs to an ovenproof serving dish and keep warm, uncovered, in turned-off oven.
  • Meanwhile, boil sauce in roasting pan over high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a scant cup, then remove sauce from heat and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper and pour sauce over chicken.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vinegars: Different vinegars have different flavor profiles, so using a variety will add complexity to your dish. Some good options include rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to using two vinegars in a dish. Try different combinations until you find one that you love.
  • Use vinegars that complement each other: When choosing two vinegars, consider how their flavors will work together. For example, a light, fruity vinegar like rice vinegar would pair well with a bolder, more robust vinegar like balsamic vinegar.
  • Use vinegars in moderation: Vinegars can be very acidic, so it's important to use them in moderation. A little bit of vinegar goes a long way.
  • Use vinegars to deglaze pans: Deglazing a pan with vinegar is a great way to add flavor to sauces and gravies.

Conclusion:

Using two vinegars in a dish can add a lot of flavor and complexity. By following the tips above, you can create delicious dishes that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're cooking, don't be afraid to experiment with different vinegars. You might just be surprised at how delicious the results can be.
