INGREDIENTS
•
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
•
1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds) cut into 10 pieces -- you could use all breasts or all leg portions if you prefer. I use free-range chicken.
•
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
•
4 shallots, finely chopped
•
1 cup top quality red wine vinegar (I use Heinz)
•
1 cup crème fraîche or heavy cream, preferably not ultrapasteurized
•
Finely chopped fresh (flat leaf) parsley, for garnish
