Chicken Bites With Potato Sausages And Vinegar Recipes

CHICKEN BITES WITH POTATO, SAUSAGES, AND VINEGAR

Steps:

• Cut each chicken into twelve pieces as described on page 261. Wash and pat the chicken pieces dry, then season them generously with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 450° F. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a wide, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned on all sides, about 3 minutes for thinner sausages or 5 minutes for wider sausages. Remove the sausage pieces with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a roasting pan or baking dish large enough to hold all the sausage, chicken, and potatoes comfortably while allowing room for stirring. (An 18 × 15-inch roasting pan is ideal.) Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper again. Increase the heat to medium-high and add to the skillet as many pieces, skin side down, as will fit in a single layer. Cook, turning once, until well browned on both sides, about 8 minutes. As the pieces are done, remove them to the roasting pan and add the remaining chicken pieces as room becomes available. When all the chicken has been browned and removed from the pan, add the potatoes, cut side down, and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer those to the roasting pan as well.
• Whack the garlic cloves with the flat side of the knife and scatter them and the rosemary over the contents of the roasting pan. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and roast 15 minutes, stirring gently occasionally. Sprinkle the chicken, sausage, and potatoes with the vinegar and continue roasting, stirring gently occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
• Prop up one end of the roasting pan so the fat settles on one end and let rest 5 minutes. Spoon off the excess fat from the roasting pan, sprinkle the parsley over everything, and transfer to a warm serving platter. Serve immediately.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a nonstick skillet. Break up sausage into small pieces and add to the pan; add potato pieces sporadically, flesh-side down. Place chicken pieces throughout the pan, smooth side down. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle over Italian herbs. Scatter over sliced onion and bell peppers. Sear over high heat until sausage starts to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-high, cover, and cook until potatoes are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add broth and cook until reduced by at least half.
• Stir and squeeze over lemon juice. Taste and adjust if needed. Serve over toasted bread and top with parsley.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring, until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions and fennel and stir to combine; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and fennel just begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Make a space in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and stir everything together. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Return the sausage to the skillet along with the vinegar and honey. Simmer, uncovered, until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with fennel fronds.
