Steps:
- 1 Cut the chicken into a total of 10 pieces: thighs, drumsticks, breast (in 4 pieces) and wings
- 2 The pieces should be roughly the same size
- 3 Trim off the wing tips and reserve for another use such as making stock, if desired, along with the chicken back and gizzard
- 4 Melt a large knob of butter (about 2 tablespoons) in a large copper rondeau or heavy saute pan over medium heat
- 5 Add the onion and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is pale golden
- 6 Add the apples and cook for 5 minutes, until they are warmed through and slightly tender
- 7 Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl
- 8 Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, then add the chicken pieces; you might have to do this in 2 batches to keep from crowding the pan
- 9 Turn them to coat, then season with salt and pepper to taste
- 10 Cook for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is golden on all sides but not brown
- 11 Transfer to a platter; the chicken will not be cooked through
- 12 Add 1 tablespoon of butter (or more) to the pan, then add the mushrooms
- 13 Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and that moisture evaporates
- 14 Transfer to a separate medium bowl
- 15 Return all of the chicken pieces to the pan (they will fit) over medium heat, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter (or more)
- 16 When the butter has melted, carefully pour in enough Calvados to generously cover the bottom of the pan
- 17 Cook for 4 or 5 minutes or until the liquid has been reduced by half
- 18 Add the cream, stirring to incorporate
- 19 Return the onion-apple mixture to the pan; cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the chicken to coat once or twice, then return the mushrooms to the pan; partially cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and a silky sauce has formed, coating all the pieces in the pan
- 20 Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed
- 21 Divide among individual plates; serve warm

POULET à LA NORMANDE
This simple, classic braise from northern France brings together the fall flavors of sweet apples, yeasty cider, cream and chicken. The only trick is flambéing the Calvados or brandy, which gives it a toasty flavor - it's literally playing with fire, so if you'd prefer not to do that, you can stay safe and get very similar results by pouring the liquor in off-heat, and gently simmering it to evaporate the alcohol.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken very dry with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat the fat in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, skin side down until deep golden, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip, and sear the other side until golden, another 3 minutes.
- If flambéing: Make sure there is nothing flammable near or above your stove. Gently warm the Calvados in a saucepan over medium heat. When the chicken is well browned, protect your hand, and use a long kitchen match to light the liquor on fire, then carefully pour it into the chicken pan. The flame can shoot over 2 feet high, so be careful. Cook until the flame subsides. If not flambéing: Once the chicken is browned, turn off the heat, and add the Calvados. When the sizzling subsides, turn the heat on to medium low, bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
- Add the cider and onions, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat down to a very gentle simmer. Quickly peel and core the apples, and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and place them on top of the chicken. Cover the pan, and cook, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid is maintaining a gentle simmer, not boiling, until the chicken is just cooked through, 35-40 minutes.
- Remove the chicken, onions and apples to a platter, and cover. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this into the braising liquid, and bring to a simmer for 1 minute, until thickened. Stir in the crème fraîche, and season the sauce with salt to taste, replace the chicken, onions and apples in the sauce and serve with crusty bread and a salad.
