Chicken With Vinegar (Mark Bittman) image

A fantastic dish! This is from Bittman's "The Best Recipes in the World." Everything that I've made from this book has been great. I used boneless skinned breasts. The cooking method for them wasn't quite right, and I'll probably do the timing differently next time. Paul Bocuse's variation is below.

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
1 chicken, cut into serving pieces (or 2.5 to 3 lbs. chicken parts)
1/4 cup minced scallion (or shallot)
1 cup high-quality red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450. Set large skillet (with steep sides to minimize spattering) over med-high heat. Add 2 T. oil and wait a minute. When it is good and hot, place chicken in skillet, skin side down. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minute or until nicely browned. (For breasts, it was only 4 minutes.) Turn and cook for 3 minutes on the other side. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Place chicken in oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or untl just about done (juices run clear and there will be the barest trace of pink near bone). Transfer chicken to an ovenproof platter. Place in oven. Turn off oven and leave door slightly ajar.
  • Pour off most of the cooking juices from skillet. Place over med-high heat. Add scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender about 2 minutes. Add vinegar. Raise heat to high. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes until the powerful smell has subsided somewhat. Add 1/2 cup water. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring until it's slightly reduced and somewhat thickened.
  • Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Turn chicken in sauce. Serve immediately.
  • Paul Bocuse Poulet au Vinaigre: In step 1, brown chicken in 1 stick butter. In step 3 add 3 T. butter to reduced vinegar sauce, stirring until it thickens.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and tough. I think I may have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The vinegar sauce is tangy and flavorful, and the chicken is reheated perfectly.

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would prefer it with less soy sauce.

I substituted apple cider vinegar for the white vinegar and it turned out great! The chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chicken turned out dry. I think I may have overcooked it. Next time, I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time.
