Poulet au vinaigre, or chicken with vinegar, is one of those rustic French preparations for chicken thighs, that is both a pleasure to make, and delicious to eat. The tarragon, shallot, and wine pan sauce is rich, but not too rich, and perfectly balanced by the subtle tanginess of the vinegar. Enjoy!

  1. We made this tonight and it was incredible! Used red wine vinegar instead of champagne vinegar.
    Thank you Chef John for making good cooking so approachable. Big up from Santa Clara.

  2. The dish sounds great and I will probably try it but your cadence of speech drove me crazy through the whole video. Sorry, won't watch again.

  3. I was going through my favourites today and found your video from 11 years ago, the chocolate bunt. I said to myself "Man, I hope he's still making videos…!" and came to see. Not only do you still make them, they have the same opening music. I cannot express how happy I am ^^

  4. This was a no for me. The tang of the vinegar ruined the whole dish. The sauce also never really thickened up.

  5. Made this for dinner tonight. Incredible. I normally make Jamaican brown stew chicken with thighs. But this is totally going in the rotation. Thx John!

  6. Made this on Monday and absolutely easy and delicious. Mine was a bit salty but not overly so and I think just because I was a bit heavy handed with the broth concentrate I used, highly recommend for a relatively quick/easy weeknight meal! I had it with a fast and easy garlic/tarragon mashed red potatoes since I had the stuff on anyway (roast 1-2 garlic cloves in the same oven for 15-20 minutes and YUM).

  7. Hello from the UK. I made this this evening and my wife hated it but my 14 year old, chef-to-be daughter, and I loved it.

  8. Made this tonight. I couldn't get fresh tarragon so I used dried but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. It was wonderful. I have it on my "do it again" list.
    I rarely put a skillet in the oven and I neglected to leave a towel over the handle when I was reducing the sauce. Yep………. I grabbed the screaming hot handle. DON'T DO THAT!
    I hate the smell of burning human flesh and my wife gets upset when I cry like a little girl. Nevertheless, the dinner was great.
