Vinegar Marinated Chicken With Buttered Greens And Radishes Food

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.

GINGER-GRILLED CHICKEN AND RADISHES WITH MISO-SCALLION DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chicken on all sides with 2 1/2 tsp. salt and place in a large bowl. Add ginger beer, garlic, 3/4 cup vinegar, and 3 Tbsp. ginger to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk miso, 3/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. salt, and remaining 6 Tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. ginger in a small bowl. Mix in scallions. Let dressing sit at room temperature up to 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; brush grate lightly with oil. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Toss radishes with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl; season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
• Toss lettuce with about one-third of dressing in a large bowl. Drizzle another third of the dressing over grilled radishes. Serve remaining dressing alongside.
