Tips:

  • Choose the right vermouth. Dry vermouth is the most common type used in cooking, but sweet or red vermouth can also be used to add different flavor notes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs. Tarragon is a classic pairing with chicken, but other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or sage can also be used.
  • Use a good quality chicken. A free-range or organic chicken will have more flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
