Chicken With Vinegar Recipes

CHICKEN IN VINEGAR

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet until foaming, then, a few pieces at a time, brown the chicken well on all sides. You're not cooking the chicken here; just making the skin crisp and giving it color, so 5 minutes per side is about right. Remove the chicken to a plate.
• Add the garlic to the pan and cook about 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and boil to reduce by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Using a piece of kitchen twine, tie together the thyme, parsley, and bay leaf. Add the herb bundle to the chicken and simmer, uncovered, until the meat falls from the bone, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a dish, cover, and keep warm.
• Pour the stock into the pan juices and boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a saucepan, and if it's still not concentrated enough for you liking, boil it down a little more. Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Season, and pour over the chicken. Serve with chopped parsley, sprinkled over, and with a bowl of roasted or mashed potatoes on the side.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR

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.

SHEET PAN VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Toss the onions with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the chicken thighs on top and sprinkle them all over with the smoked paprika and salt and pepper. Drizzle the vinegar onto the baking sheet, then roast in the oven about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the cherry tomatoes, olives, rosemary and garlic with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, a big pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add the mixture to the baking sheet with the roasted chicken and continue to roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with the parsley and serve the chicken with the vegetables and juices from the baking sheet.

CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper and heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown the chicken in batches, making sure not to crowd in the pan, on both sides. Transfer the pieces to a bowl as they're done.
• Spoon out all but 2 tbsp oil from the skillet. Add the onions and a large pinch of salt to the skillet and lower heat to medium. Cook 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and lightly colored. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan while onions cook to release any browned bits. Add the garlic and hot pepper and cook for 1 more minute. Pour in the vinegar and wine and bring to a simmer.
• Submerge the chicken pieces in the onions and vinegar and pour in any juices from the bowl. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces over and cook an additional 10 minutes. Spoon the chicken, onions and juices onto a large platter and serve.
