VINEGAR-BRAISED CHICKEN AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preparation Cook onions in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 5-8 minutes. Drain and let cool. Trim root ends; peel. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add pancetta to pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and pancetta is brown, 8-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to a large bowl. Add onions to same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer onions and garlic to bowl with pancetta. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to pot skin side down and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 10-15 minutes per batch; transfer to bowl with onions. Carefully drain fat from pot and return to medium-high heat. Add both vinegars to pot and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add broth, raisins, bay leaves, and reserved chicken, pancetta, onions, and garlic to pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until chicken is fork-tender, 35-40 minutes.

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.

VINEGAR-AND-GARLIC-BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, bay leaves, garlic, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a bowl; add chicken and toss until coated with marinade. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove chicken (reserving marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add half of chicken and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown other sides about 2 minutes more; transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken.
• Return all chicken and any accumulated juices to Dutch oven; add reserved marinade, making sure liquid comes halfway up sides of chicken (you may need to nestle it). Bring to a simmer over high, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Skim fat from liquid with a spoon and discard bay leaves. Increase heat to medium‐high and reduce liquid until syrupy (you should have about 1 cup). Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH RASPBERRY VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan or skillet and brown chicken a few pieces at a time.
• Transfer browned chicken to an ovenproof baking dish.
• To the remaining oil in the pan, add onion, garlic, and bay leaf, and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until onion is transparent.
• Add the vinegar and water and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet; pour the sauce over the chicken, being sure that the onions are distributed evenly around the chicken pieces and lodge the bay leaf at the bottom.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until chicken is tender; turn chicken pieces once during baking.
• Transfer chicken pieces to serving dish.
• Remove fat from pan juices (I usually use a paper towel or lettuce leaf placed on the layer of fat for a few seconds) and pour over the chicken.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
• Great with rice or noodles.
• MY NOTE: I put the chicken in skin side down first, then covered the baking dish with foil for the first 1/2 hour of cooking, then turned the chicken and removed the foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
