Volaille Fermiere Au Vinaigre Farmhouse Chicken In Vinegar Sauce Recipes

POULET AU VINAIGRE (CHICKEN IN VINEGAR)

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl and toss the chicken in it to coat, shaking off excess. (Discard the remaining flour.)
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until brown on both sides, 9 to 12 minutes total. Add garlic, shallot and the remaining pinch of salt; cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato, vinegar and honey, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in broth. Bring to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook, flipping the chicken occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, 20 to 25 minutes more. Stir in parsley and tarragon.

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.

POULET AU VINAIGRE (CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR)

Steps:

• Place a metal rack at the center of your oven and preheat it to 325 degrees.
• In a 12-inch pan, heat vegetable oil until it starts to bubble. I have used several pans for this and found that my enameled LeCreuset 14" 3 1/2 qt. braiser works best. It seemed to brown the chicken perfectly, and I was able to take it from the stove to the oven which is wonderful. I have also used a round copper pan which worked just as well.
• Pat dry the chicken and place skin side down into the pan. Salt and pepper the top. I used fresh ground pepper and salt and covered the pan with a screen mesh that I purchased at a dollar store to stop splattering grease. Cook for 7-8 minutes without moving. Carefully flip the chicken over with metal tongs. I found the first time I did this the skin was sticking to the pan so you may have to work it a little bit to keep the skin attached. This is where the enameled braiser worked best for me and gave me the best results.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Remove all but a few Tbs. of the fat from the pan and add the garlic and shallots. With a wooden spoon, stir until golden brown. Add the chicken broth, wine, and vinegar and stir into the pan until it begins to simmer. Make sure to scrape the sides of the pan with the wooden spoon to remove any of the remaining chicken scraps. This is the good stuff!
• Place the chicken back into the pan skin side up making sure it is above the liquid. If the liquid is too high, remove some of it with a turkey baster.
• Bake uncovered 35-40 minutes. If you have a digital or meat thermometer it should register 195 degrees.
• Remove your pan from the oven (Be very careful because it will be hot.) and place back onto the stove over medium heat.
• With metal tongs remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a clean plate. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Add the tomato paste and whisk. (I have been finding a tube of paste works best for small amounts, and I can keep it refrigerated.) Bring to a boil. Make sure to keep scraping the sides of the pan with a wooden spoon. Keep stirring until it thickens and reduces. Be patient. It may take 5-10 minutes for this to happen. Once it has thickened, whisk in the butter and chopped tarragon, salt, and pepper to taste and add an additional teaspoon of extra vinegar. (I thought a tsp. worked best.) Place chicken back in the pan. With a spoon, slather the sauce over the chicken.
• Plate the chicken in large shallow bowls or plates and spoon sauce over top. I sided this chicken with rice and a loaf of artisan bread and Irish butter.

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.

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch ovenproof deep heavy sauté pan over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken all over, in batches if necessary, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan.
• Tie parsley, thyme, and bay leaf in cheesecloth to make a bouquet garni, then add to pan with carrots and onions, stirring to coat with fat. Add wine and deglaze by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add broth and chicken, skin sides up, with any juices from plate, and simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Add potatoes and salt and pepper to taste and simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Discard bouquet garni. Stir in crème fraîche, peas, and salt and pepper to taste, then turn chicken in sauce to coat. Sprinkle dish all over with Gruyère and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until browned and sauce is bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Rinse, dry, and season chicken. Heat oil and 2 tbsp. of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken, skin side down, and brown, turning once, about 10 minutes per side. Take out and set aside. Brown the rest of the chicken then take out and set aside.

Increase heat to medium-high, skim foam from sauce and continue cooking until sauce is thick and glossy, about 5 minutes. Cut remaining butter into small pieces. Remove skillet from heat and whisk butter into sauce. Test seasoning. (Sauce should be smooth but tart; add additional vinegar if desired.) Return chicken to skillet, turning to coat evenly with sauce. To serve, transfer chicken and sauce to a serving platter and garnish with parsley.

SUPRêME DE VOLAILLE FERMIèRE à LA CRèME (CHICKEN BREAST IN CREAM)

Steps:

• Set the chicken in a large, deep pot. Add the chicken stock, then add enough water to cover the chicken completely. Heat over high until the temperature of the cooking liquid reaches 160 degrees and is hot enough to steam. Cook the chicken until the inner thighs reach a temperature of 145 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes, monitoring the temperature and reducing the heat as needed throughout the cooking process to make sure the liquid stays under a simmer. Remove chicken from liquid and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
• While chicken rests, start the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk the butter and flour over low heat until the mixture melts into a thick, pale roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add 3 cups of the hot chicken stock to the roux, whisking constantly over low heat, until roux and the liquid are emulsified. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. (Let the remaining stock cool, then refrigerate or freeze for future use.)
• Meanwhile, remove the legs (they will not be fully cooked) and set them aside for another use (see Note). Carefully remove the skin from the chicken breasts, then, starting with the pointed end of each breast, separate the breasts from the breastbone, with your thumb if possible (or your knife if necessary), gently moving your thumb down the center bone that separates the two breasts on each side. Using a knife, ensure that you remove the rest of the breast meat (including the filets) from the bone without tearing; remove and discard any membranes from the surface of each breast. (The meat nearest the bone might still be slightly uncooked, but it will cook through in Step 6.)
• Whisk the cream into the sauce in the saucepan, and continue to cook at a simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, another 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk in the mustard, then lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the port, if using.
• Add the breasts to the sauce to reheat, basting them until fully cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer each breast to a warmed plate and slice thickly, if desired. Gently spoon the sauce over the breast to serve.
