Description

A French take on a traditional chicken dish. Chicken in a delicate acidic environment. You can achieve a particularly refined flavor by regularly skimming off all the fat that is released during frying and simmering.

Ingredients

Chicken Drumstick - 4 pieces
Chicken Thighs - 4 pieces
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Red Wine Vinegar - 5 teaspoons
Butter - 0.7 oz
Dry White Wine - 3 fl oz
Garlic - 4 cloves
Tomatoes - 1 piece
Tarragon - 0.7 oz
Parsley - 0.7 oz
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat a deep oven-safe skillet over high heat. Make sure it has no plastic or other non-heat-resistant parts.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil into the pan and sauté the chicken until it is golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then add vinegar and butter, allowing it to simmer for a minute so that the chicken pieces are coated with the vinegar and butter.

Step 3

Add white wine, bring the sauce in the saucepan to a boil, then stir in the finely chopped tomato, unpeeled but whole garlic cloves, and coarsely chopped tarragon leaves. Cover the saucepan with a lid, place it in an oven preheated to 302°F, and bake for thirty minutes.

Step 4

Remove the skillet with the chicken from the oven, taste the result, and add salt and pepper if needed. Arrange the pieces of chicken on a large plate and sprinkle with parsley. Serve the sauce in which the chicken was cooked separately. Boiled green beans make a great side dish for this chicken.
