Poulet Au Vinaigre Chicken With Red Wine Vinegar Recipes

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.

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.
