Crisp Chicken with Sherry-Vinegar Sauce

This elegant crispy chicken with sherry vinegar sauce is a sophisticated take on a classic roast. By searing the skin in a frying pan before roasting, you achieve a beautiful golden crunch while keeping the meat succulent and tender. The sauce is the real star here, balancing the sharpness of sherry vinegar with the subtle sweetness of mild honey and the rich, velvety finish of unsalted butter.

As a high-protein main course, this dish is both nourishing and deeply satisfying, making it a brilliant choice for a nutritious midweek dinner or a weekend treat. The bone-in chicken breasts provide a deeper savoury flavour and help retain moisture during the high-heat roasting process. Serve alongside some steamed seasonal greens or crushed new potatoes to soak up that vibrant, mahogany-coloured sauce.

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to make Crisp Chicken with Sherry-Vinegar Sauce

Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 232°C.

Pat chicken dry and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. 3Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear skin side of chicken until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chicken, skin side up, with tongs to a large shallow baking pan (reserve skillet) and roast until chicken is just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let chicken stand 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook garlic in reserved skillet over moderately high heat, stirring, until pale golden, 15 to 30 seconds. Add paprika, then immediately add vinegar, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, and boil 1 minute. Add broth and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to about 120ml , about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Season with salt and serve with chicken.
