Vinegar Chicken Recipes

CIDER VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with garlic salt, then pour vinegar over all.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes or until chicken is browned and cooked through, and juices run clear.

VINEGAR CHICKEN WITH CRUSHED OLIVE DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with turmeric and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Make sure chicken is skin-side up, then pour vinegar over and around chicken and place in the oven.
• Bake chicken, without flipping, until cooked through and deeply browned all over, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine olives, garlic, parsley, the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Once chicken is cooked, remove baking sheet from the oven and transfer chicken to a large serving platter, leaving behind any of the juices and bits stuck to the pan.
• Make sure the baking sheet is on a sturdy surface (the stovetop, a counter), then pour the olive mixture onto the sheet. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently scrape up all the bits the chicken left behind, letting the olive mixture mingle with the rendered fat and get increasingly saucy. Pour olive mixture over the chicken, then serve.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Lightly grease a 13 x 9-inch pan.
• Place the chicken in the pan.

• Sprinkle 1/3 of this mixture over the chicken.
• Season with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven, and baste with another 1/3 of the vinegar mixture. Bake 15 minutes longer.

• Return to the oven, and continued baking for 15 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

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 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.

SALT AND VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the cider vinegar, vegetable oil, egg, salt, and poultry seasoning. Place the chicken thighs in the bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange the chicken thighs in a baking dish, and cover with about 1/4 of the marinade mixture.
• Bake chicken 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Drain off the marinade so that the chicken skin will become crisp (a baster works well for extracting the marinade). Continue baking 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

FRENCH VINEGAR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper and lightly coat with flour.
• Put water on to boil for pasta. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil. Add chicken and cook until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet; tent to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the leeks and mushrooms and saute until softened. Add vinegar and reduce by three-fourths. Add cream and tomatoes and cook until thickened. Add half the basil and all the cheese; reduce heat to keep warm.
• Cook pasta according to package directions. Add pasta to the cream sauce and toss with sauce. Garnish with the remaining basil. Serve chicken breasts alongside pasta.
• Note: if you can't find tarragon vinegar, make your own by combining 1 quart champagne vinegar, 3 whole peppercorns and 1/4 cup tarragon and letting it rest for 24 hours. If using dried pasta rather than fresh, start cooking the pasta before making the sauce so it comes together at the same time.
