CHICKEN AND BACON CHOUCROUTE WITH POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a small pot and pour in water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat so water is at an active simmer. Cook potatoes until fork-tender, 22-25 minutes. Drain; let sit 5 minutes to dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk shallots, oil, vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, and honey in a large bowl; season dressing with salt.
• Add hot potatoes to dressing and let sit, tossing occasionally, until they are just warm and have soaked up some of the dressing, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Just before serving, add tarragon to potato salad and toss to evenly distribute.
• Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Drizzle oil in a large skillet. Season chicken generously with salt and arrange skin side down in a single layer in skillet. Set over medium heat and cook chicken, undisturbed, until skin is golden brown around the edges, 12-15 minutes. Using a stiff spatula, lift up chicken, then put it back down, still skin side down. Once chicken pieces have all released from skillet and slide around easily, continue to cook, shifting pieces as needed if browning unevenly, until skin is deeply browned, 6-8 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to a plate and turn skin side up. Pour off all but 1/4 cup fat from skillet.
• Add bacon to same skillet and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Cook garlic in skillet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add thyme sprigs and juniper berries and cook, tossing, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sauerkraut and wine, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is almost completely evaporated, 6-8 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
• Place sausages in a 3-qt. baking dish and pile sauerkraut over (sausages should be submerged). Arrange chicken thighs and bacon on top of sauerkraut. Pour in 3/4 cup water and bake choucroute until chicken is cooked through and liquid is bubbling throughout, 25-30 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve with potato salad.
• Potato salad (without tarragon) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

ROASTED SAUERKRAUT AND BACON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 275 degrees. Place peppercorns in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Toast until they are crisp and give off a nutty aroma. Transfer to a mortar and grind to a coarse powder, gradually adding and pounding in juniper berries, rosemary, savory, thyme and fennel seeds.
• Rub bacon well with mixture, shaking off excess. Place bacon in a small ovenproof dish. Add cider and enough water to come halfway up sides of bacon. Cover lightly with foil and bake 3 hours, turning bacon halfway during cooking. Check occasionally and add boiling water as necessary to maintain level of liquid in dish. Remove dish from oven and cool until warm; bacon should be very tender but intact. Place a heavy plate on bacon to weight it as it cools. Place dish in refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Drain sauerkraut and place in a ceramic baking dish. Break bacon slab into large irregular pieces or cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes, and scatter over kraut. Remove 2 tablespoons of solidified fat from bacon dish, and reserve. Stir remaining jelled liquid and fat in dish, adding enough water so there is about 1/2 cup in dish. Spoon about 1/3 cup over bacon and kraut, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
• While bacon and kraut bake, prepare potatoes: If potatoes have smooth skins, they need not be peeled. Cut in two lengthwise. Melt reserved fat in a medium skillet, and add potatoes cut-side down. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat until browned on bottoms, about 5 minutes. Turn and continue to cook for a few minutes, then add remaining braising liquid and remove from heat.
• When kraut has cooked for 30 minutes, remove from oven and push kraut to one side of dish. Add potatoes and their liquid to other side, and return to oven until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve
