BRAISED CHICKEN DRUMSTICK WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt on the chicken drumsticks. In a large skillet, heat butter and oil at medium-high heat until butter has melted. Add chicken and cook for 10 minutes (flip often). With a pair of tongs, remove the chicken from the skillet and put it in a plate.
• In the skillet, add onions, shallots and garlic. Cook, scraping the bottom of skillet to remove the bits, for 5 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Put back the chicken in the skillet and sprinkle with thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add white wine, chicken stock and bay leaf. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 45 minutes or until chicken is tender (drizzle with cooking liquid from time to time). Put the chicken in a serving dish, cover and keep warm. Let reduce the cooking liquid, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until it has the consistancy of a gravy. Add salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf.
• When ready to serve, garnish each serving with the onion gravy and sprinkle with mint, if wanted.

• Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook, 30 minutes.
• Turn chicken over. Place a lemon slice on each piece; cover and continue simmering until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Leaving garlic and liquid in skillet, transfer chicken and lemon slices to a platter. Cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Bring liquid in skillet to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat. Add butter, parsley, and lemon juice; stir until butter has softened and sauce is smooth.
• Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with sauce.

WHITE WINE AND GARLIC BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• pour a good amount of flour onto a plate. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 3 or 4 grinds of pepper. Mix together, and coat chicken pieces, shaking off excess flour.
• Preheat a pan that has a lid on high heat. Once heated, add olive oil, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Add chicken pieces and brown on both sides. Remove chicken to a plate and turn off heat. If there are any scorched bits in the pan, rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
• Preheat pan again on medium high heat. Once heated, add butter and stir until melted. Add onion and garlic and fry for a few minutes, but don't let the butter burn. Add chicken pieces back into pan and pour in chicken broth and wine.
• Add bay leaves, rosemary, basil, 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 3 -4 grinds of pepper. Stir a bit to spread spices around, and bring to a boil. Once boiling close lid and turn down to low heat. Let simmer for 1 hour, turning chicken pieces over with tongs every 20 minutes or so. Enjoy!
• Note: Sauce tends to reduce quite a bit, so if you want more sauce, add more chicken broth after half an hour or so.
