Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 chicken quarters (or substitute with chicken drumsticks, thighs, or breasts)
3 carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 yellow onions (cut into 1/2-inch slices)
3 stalks celery (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
6 cloves garlic (roughly sliced)
3 c. chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Onion powder
HOW TO MAKE BRAISED CHICKEN (WITH VEGETABLES AND GRAVY)
Step 1: Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Set aside.
Step 2: In a braiser, heat 2 each butter and olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the braiser. Put the lid on and sear the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes or until brown. Uncover and flip the chicken. Replace the lid and sear for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Set the chicken aside when done.
Step 3: To the now-empty braiser, add the onion, celery, and carrots. Adjust the heat to medium-high and cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring until the veggies are a little caramelized and tender. Now, add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 4: To the braiser, melt the rest of the butter. Stir in the flour until the lumps are gone. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until the flour is brown with a nutty aroma.
Step 5: Add the broth, stir well, then turn the heat off. Season according to taste. Pour in the red wine vinegar, stir well, and return the chicken to the braiser. Put the lid on and place the braiser into a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Step 6: Serve the braised chicken immediately with jasmine rice or with your favourite side. Make sure to give the sauce a final stir before pouring it over the chicken. If desired, garnish with some chopped parsley. Enjoy!
