- Nov 2, 2025
Calling all food connoisseurs! Want to try something new and delicious for dinner tonight? Experience the savory garlic wine chicken - a dish that's as delightful to the senses as it is easy to prepare.
To get started on this gourmet adventure, gather the following essentials: three tablespoons of clarified unsalted butter or a combination of unsalted butter and peanut oil, four unpeeled garlic cloves, a whole chicken cut into ten pieces, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, a 1/2 cup of mild white wine vinegar or rice vinegar, ripe red tomatoes, chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, and two tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Kick off your cooking by preheating the oven to 200°F. Over medium-high heat, melt the clarified butter with garlic in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet until the butter quiets down. This generally takes about three minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the sizzling delight, cooking until slightly browned. This should take about 5 to 7minutes, but remember to flip the pieces after 3 minutes. Season copiously with salt and pepper for that extra burst of flavor.
Pour the vinegar into the skillet and increase the heat to bring it to an energetic boil. Then shower the chicken with tomatoes and parsley, lower the heat, cover and yes - let the chicken absorb all those fine aromas for about 15 minutes. Remember to flip the chicken after about 7 minutes. Afterward, nestle the chicken in a baking dish and place it in your preheated oven to stay warm.
Now, let the skillet work its magic on the remaining vinegar mix. Over a low flame, let it continue to simmer undisturbed until it reduces by a significant one-third, which will take around 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves, peel and mash them before stirring them into the sauce. Pump up the flavor with additional salt, whisk in the remaining butter until the mixture transforms into a creamy sauce.
And voila! Pour this succulent sauce over your sizzling chicken awaiting on the platter. Serve immediately to ensure all those flavors are locked in, and your guests' taste buds are bound to sing praises for this sumptuous meal.
Clarifying butter may sound complicated, but it's easier than you think. Simply melt unsalted butter over low heat until it's clear and let it stand. After a few minutes, the solids will settle at the bottom. Skim off any foam, separate the clear liquid - and there you have it, clarified butter! Happy cooking!
