Poulet au Vinaigre

The Chicken Dish from Lyon That Will Surprise You

--

Poulet au Vinaigre, or chicken in vinegar, is a classic French preparation that you will find braising in homes as readily in restaurants. At the onset, it sounds kind of overpowering and maybe even unappetizing. Chicken in vinegar? Rarely do we think of vinegar as an ingredient other than maybe used lightly in a vinaigrette.

But when you try this poulet en vinaigre recipe for the first time, you realize your error and start thinking about vinegar in a brand new light.
