BRICK CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR PEPPERS

Weighing down the chicken with a skillet (our "brick" in this case) while you sear it ensures a crispy, golden skin. Then you sauté a mess of peppers with onion and garlic; mix in vinegar, sugar, and capers to great an agrodolce sauce; and combine it all with the browned bird, so the flavors meld as it finishes cooking in the oven.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), room temperature, halved and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds mixed Italian frying peppers, sliced (about 7 cups total)
1 small onion, sliced (1 1/2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons capers, drained
2 sprigs rosemary (each about 4 inches)
Creamy polenta for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in center. Season all sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium; add butter and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • When butter melts and foam subsides, add chicken, skin-side down. Place a piece of foil on top of chicken and top with a second heavy skillet to weigh down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin forms a golden-brown crust, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove top skillet and foil. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
  • Discard fat in skillet. Return to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add peppers and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned in places, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, vinegar, sugar, capers, and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then transfer to a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan or baking dish along with chicken, skin-side up, and any accumulated juices.
  • Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken reads 160°, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Return vegetables to oven; cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes more. Season. Serve chicken with vegetables and polenta, spooning juices over top.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR



Chicken With Vinegar image

Jean-Georges Vongerichten learned how to make this recipe from the great Paul Bocuse, who added it to his repertoire while cooking for Eugenie Brazier, his teacher at La Mère Brazier in Lyon, France. Chicken with vinegar is one of the great poultry dishes from that area, where the chickens are considered by many to be the best in the world. Mr. Bocuse insisted that it was neither the amount of work nor the cost of ingredients that determined the worthiness of a dish, but how it tasted. The variations are numerous, but the piercing flavor of vinegar is so dominant that it matters little whether you use shallots or garlic, thyme or tarragon. One technical note: Most wine vinegar sold in the United States has an acidity level of 7 percent; many French vinegars are just 5 percent acidity. So it's best to cut strong vinegar with some water.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 3-pound chicken, cut up for sauteing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup minced shallots or scallions
1 cup good red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; when it is hot, place chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is nicely browned. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place skillet in the oven. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until almost done (juices will run clear, and there will be just a trace of pink near the bone). Remove chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place it in the oven; turn off the heat, and leave the door slightly ajar.
  • Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking juices out of the skillet (discard them). Place skillet over medium-high heat, and add shallots; sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes. Add vinegar, and raise the heat to high. Cook a minute or two, or until the powerful acrid 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 butter, if desired.
  • Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, and turn the chicken in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent your chicken from burning.
  • Brown the chicken well: Browning the chicken will help to develop flavor and color. Make sure to cook it over medium heat so that it doesn't burn.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: The vinegar is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. A white wine vinegar or a champagne vinegar would be a good choice.
  • Simmer the chicken: Simmering the chicken in the vinegar sauce will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Make sure to simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve with a side of polenta: Polenta is a classic Italian dish that pairs perfectly with chicken. You can make your own polenta or use a pre-made version.

Conclusion:

French chicken in vinegar sauce with pepper-spiked polenta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the sauce is tangy and rich, and the polenta is creamy and satisfying. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
