Ingredients

  • 3 pounds skin-on chicken legs thighs and drumsticks separated
  • 1/4 cup canola oil or crisco shortening
  • 3 large shallots peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup brown mustard
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or any other wine-based vinegar
  • ¼ pound veal demi-glace Bonewerks CulinArte is recommended
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Liberally salt and pepper the chicken. In a large non-stick fry pan brown the chicken in oil over medium heat, about 10 minutes per side. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
  • Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of fat. Lightly brown the shallots over medium heat. Add the mustard, wine, sherry, veal demi-glace and fresh tarragon leaves, and stir. Add the chicken and the sauce to a Dutch oven. Cover with enough water to bring the liquid about halfway up the sides of the chicken. Stir once, cover and cook in a 350ºF oven for 1 hour until chicken is golden. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, noodles or polenta.
