CHICKEN SAUERKRAUT POTATO BAKE

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Wash the chicken meat and cut it into portions. Cut the sauerkraut finely. For this recipe I used an earthenware pot. If you dont have one you can use a deep oven dish, covered with aluminum foil as a lid.
• Place half of the sauerkraut in the dish, arrange chicken on top, with bay leaf and grains of black pepper between them. If necessary, add salt. In this case I did not because the sauerkraut is plenty salty to my taste.
• Add the rest of the sauerkraut on top, sprinkle it with paprika, oil, add the broth and cabbage juice and mix with your hands so that all the products get flavored.
• The paprika I used is the smoked type. If you dont have any, use regular paprika but smoked paprika has an incredible aroma and can be found in all major stores.
• Close the pot with a lid and put it in the oven at 390°F (200 °C) for 30 minutes, then reduce to 320°F (160 °C) and stew for half an hour.
• Finally, remove the lid and using a fork, lift the chicken meat out to the very top. Put it in the oven again at 360°F (180 °C) for another 20 minutes until the meat turns golden brown.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe chicken inside and out and season the cavity with salt and pepper.
• Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water and drain well.
• Heat the oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large oven-proof casserole and brown the chicken on all sides. Be careful not to break the skin. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off the fat from the casserole.
• Heat the two tablespoons of butter in the casserole and saute the onion over medium heat until soft. Add the sauerkraut and garlic and cook a few minutes longer. Spread the sauerkraut over the bottom of the casserole and place the chicken on top of it. Put the bay leaf on the chicken, pour the vermouth around the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven to roast for one hour.
• Lift chicken from the casserole, draining any juices from the cavity and rest it on a platter. Using a slotted spoon, drain the sauerkraut from the casserole and spread it around the chicken and cover the platter with foil to keep it warm.
• Add the chicken stock to casserole and heat juices. Dissolve the cornstarch in the one-quarter cup of cold reserved sauerkraut juice and gradually stir this mixture into the simmering sauce. Season to taste. Pour a little of the sauce over the chicken and pass the rest at the table.

BRAISED CHICKEN LEGS IN SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken on all sides with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onion to skillet. Cook, scraping up browned bits, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in carrots and sauerkraut until well combined.
• Transfer sauerkraut mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle chicken legs in mixture, cover with parchment-lined foil, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to 425 degrees, and bake until top is lightly caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken legs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
