Poulet Au Vin Rouge Chicken With Red Wine Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook garlic in oil until tender. Place chicken in the skillet, and cook about 10 minutes on each side, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
• Drain oil from skillet. Sprinkle chicken with paprika and 1 cup brown sugar. Pour red wine around chicken. Cover, and simmer about 15 to 20 minutes; lightly baste chicken with wine sauce while cooking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Mix together the wine, tomato paste, thyme, marjoram, and vinegar. Season the chicken with plenty of salt and pepper, then place in a resealable bag with the wine mixture. Shake the bag to make sure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan of cold water, cover, and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the onions, carrots, and cooked potatoes in a large baking dish or tray and pour in the water.
• Arrange the chicken pieces, skin-side up, in a layer on top of the vegetables in the dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover with a sheet of parchment or foil and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the parchment and baste the chicken with the cooking liquid. Roast, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, or until the skin is crisp. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Set the backbone aside for another use or discard it. Sprinkle the remaining pieces of chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour. Shake off excess flour.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Add the chicken pieces (skin side down) and the onions. Cook until nicely browned on one side, about four to five minutes. Turn the pieces and continue cooking about four minutes. Pour off the fat from the skillet. Add the wine, thyme and bay leaf. Cover closely and cook about 15 minutes.
• Uncover and transfer the chicken pieces and onions to a serving dish. Remove and discard the bay leaf. To the wine sauce in the skillet add the butter and swirl it around in the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Remove the rind and cut the bacon into lardons (rectangles 1/4-inch across and 1-inch long). Simmer for 10 minutes in 2 quarts of water. Rinse in cold water. Dry.
• In a heavy large heavy bottomed casserole or Dutch oven, saute the bacon slowly in hot butter until it is very lightly browned (temperature of 260 degrees F for an electric skillet). Remove to a side dish.
• Dry the chicken thoroughly. Brown it in the hot fat in the casserole. (360 degrees F for the electric skillet.)
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Return the bacon to the casserole with the chicken. Cover and cook slowly (300 degrees F) for 10 minutes, turning the chicken once.
• Uncover, and pour in the cognac. Averting your face, ignite the cognac with a lighted match. Shake the casserole back and forth for several seconds until the flames subside.
• Pour the wine into the casserole. Add just enough stock or bouillon to cover the chicken. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic and herbs. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and its juices run a clear yellow when the meat is pricked with a fork. Remove the chicken to a side dish.
• While the chicken is cooking, prepare the onions and mushrooms.
• Simmer the chicken cooking liquid in the casserole for 1 to 2 minutes, skimming off fat. Then raise the heat and boil rapidly, reducing the liquid to about 2 1/4 cups. Correct seasoning. Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf.
• Blend the butter and flour together into a smooth paste (beurre manie). Beat the paste into the hot liquid with a wire whip. Bring to the simmer, stirring and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. The sauce should be thick enough to coat a spoon lightly.
• Arrange the chicken in a casserole, place the mushrooms and onions around it and baste with the sauce. If the dish is not to be served immediately, film the top of the sauce with stock or dot with small pieces of butter. Set aside uncovered for no longer than 1 hour or cool, cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Shortly before serving, bring the casserole to a simmer, basting the chicken with the sauce. Cover and simmer slowly for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is heated through.
• Serve from the casserole, or arrange on a hot platter. Decorate with sprigs of parsley.
• When the butter and oil are bubbling in the skillet, add the onions and saute over moderate heat for 10 minutes, rolling the onions about so they will brown as evenly as possible. Be careful not to break their skins. You cannot expect to brown them uniformly.
• Braise them as follows: Pour in the stock, season to taste, and add the herb bouquet. Cover and simmer slowly for 15 to 20 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape, and the liquid has evaporated. Remove herb bouquet. Serve them as they are.
• Bake them as follows: Transfer the onions and their sauteing fat to a shallow baking dish or casserole just large enough to hold them in 1 layer. Set uncovered in upper third of a preheated 350 degree F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, turning them over once or twice. They should be very tender, retain their shape and be a nice golden brown. Remove herb bouquet. Serve them as they are.
• Place the skillet over high heat with the butter and oil. As soon as you see that the butter foam has begun to subside, indicating it is hot enough, add the mushrooms. Toss and shake the pan for 4 to 5 minutes. During their saute the mushrooms will at first absorb the fat. In 2 to 3 minutes the fat will reappear on their surface, and the mushrooms will begin to brown. As soon as they have browned lightly, remove from heat.
• Toss the shallots or green onions, if using, with the mushrooms. Saute over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Sauteed mushrooms may be cooked in advance, set aside, then reheated when needed. Season to taste just before serving.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on both sides. Season with black pepper.
• Add the shallot halves and reduce heat to low, cooking for a further 6-7 minutes. Be sure to shake the pan and stir occasionally to prevent burning and sticking.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the vinegar to the shallot halves in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for about a minute, until the liquid is almost evaporated. Stir in the garlic, white wine, and chicken broth.
• Return the chicken to the frying pan, along with any drippings that have accumulated on the plate. Cover and simmer for about 3 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
• Transfer the chicken pieces and shallots to a serving plate and cover to keep them warm. Increase the heat on the pan and boil the liquid until it's reduced by half, then remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until the sauce is thickened, then add the parsely and pour the sauce over the chicken and shallots and serve.

Steps:

• Brown chicken in large skillet on both sides in butter and oil.
• Remove chicken from pan and set aside, leaving the liquid in the pan.
• Add onions to the pan and saute till tender on moderate heat.
• Drain liquid over sieve into small bowl.
• Remove any unwanted fat.
• Set liquid aside.
• Season the chicken parts with salt/pepper and return to pan.
• Add tomato sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme.
• Add enough wine and chicken stock to cover chicken parts.
• Simmer for at least 20 minutes uncovered.
• Remove chicken and place on platter.
• Pour juices and onions into saucepan and adjust seasonings.
• You may add more garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
• In small bowl whisk together flour and butter (or wine).
• Add to the sauce and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
• You may need to double the thickening agents if you have lots of juice.
• Pour sauce over chicken on platter and garnish with parsley.
• Serve with rice and crusty bread.
