Chicken Thighs in Tarragon Sauce
Recently, I was given a large pot filled with French tarragon, and it is flourishing. I have never had so much tarragon, or better tarragon for that matter.
It was given to me because the person who grew it heard me say, on 3AW, that French tarragon was my favourite herb, which it is. I love the stuff.
So ever since I received it, I have been working my way through my favourite tarragon recipes - such as tarragon mayonnaise for chicken sandwiches, cold tarragon chicken, and sauce bearnaise.
But easily my favourite tarragon recipe is one that involves my favourite cut of chicken. It is chicken thighs - skin on, bone in - cooked in butter with vermouth and tarragon and, naturally, cream. For four hungry diners, try this:
Season eight free-range chicken thighs well and brown them, gently, in 75g of unsalted butter in a large, shallow pan. Colour the skin without burning the butter - which can be tricky, so take care. Remove the thighs to a warm plate.
Pour off 3/4 of the butter and add 150ml of dry vermouth (Noilly Pratt, ideally) and 2tbs tarragon vinegar (the French one is the best). Bring this mixture to a boil, scrape up any bits sticking to the pan and dissolve them in the liquid. Reduce slightly, and then slosh in 250ml of pouring cream - or double cream mixed with a splash of full cream milk - and add two 2tsp, heaped, of chopped, fresh tarragon leaves. Return the thighs to the pan, along with any juices that have collected, and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and keeping an eye on the sauce. Check the seasoning, add a squeeze of lemon and serve on steamed rice with a glass of chilled French chablis, or similar.
