white wine

🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

fresh herbs

🥗Healthier: dried herbs

💰Cheaper: mixed Italian seasoning

Dried herbs are more accessible and last longer.

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then flour, shaking off excess well.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat, then melt the butter.

Sear the skin side of the thighs until golden, then cook the other side for just 1 minute. Remove and make drumsticks golden on three sides.

Add mushrooms and onion, cooking until onion is softened, adding garlic towards the end.

Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

Add brandy and either flambe or let it bubble for 20-30 seconds to cook out the alcohol.

Add wine and reduce by half.

Add stock, salt, and pepper, then return chicken into the sauce.

Bring to a simmer, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Uncover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove chicken and simmer the sauce for 3 minutes.

Turn off heat, scatter in half the cold butter, stir to melt, then scatter in remaining butter and stir to melt until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

Bring back to a gentle simmer, put chicken back in, and sprinkle with tarragon.
