Yield Serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the marinade
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup red-wine vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
8 chicken thigh or drumsticks (about 2 pounds)
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
vegetable oil for frying the chicken
2 large onions, sliced thin

Steps:

  • Make the marinade:
  • In a large shallow dish whisk together the wine, the vinegar, the garlic paste, the mustard, and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer in the dish, let it marinate, covered and chilled, turning it once, for at least 3 hours or, preferably, overnight. and drain it, reserving 1/2 cup of the marinade and discarding the rest.
  • In a shallow dish whisk together the egg and the reserved marinade. In another shallow dish stir together the flour, the salt, the thyme, and pepper to taste. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge it twice in the flour mixture to make a thick coating, shaking off the excess each time. Reserve the remaining flour mixture. Let the chicken stand in one layer on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat 1 inch of the oil to 375°F. and in it fry half the chicken for 1 minute on each side. Reduce the heat to moderate so that the temperature of the oil is reduced to 300°F., fry the chicken, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is cooked through, and transfer it with tongs to paper towels to drain. Keep the chicken warm while frying the remaining chicken in the same manner. Dredge the onions in the reserved flour mixture, shaking off the excess, and in the skillet fry them in 375°F. oil, turning them carefully, for 5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Transfer the onions with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with salt to taste. Mound the onions in the middle of a large platter and arrange the chicken around them.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was dry and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe.

I tried this recipe and the chicken was tough and the marinade was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the marinade was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the marinade didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't make this again.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a winner. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the marinade is flavorful without being overpowering. The onions are a great addition and add a nice crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. The marinade was flavorful and the chicken was cooked through but still moist. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a delicious meal.
