Ingredients:
2 lbsOnions
1 Chicken 3-4 pounds
Salt, black pepper
1 ozButter
2 tbspFlour
Procedures:
1Serves 6 peel the onions, quarter them and slice thickly.
2Wipe the chicken inside and out with a cloth wrung out in boiling water.
3Cut into 10 serving pieces: 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 wings and 2 breasts halved.
4Season each piece on both sides.
5Melt the butter in a sauteuse or large frying pan over low heat and when foaming add the chicken and colour to the golden stage on both sides.
6Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, cover and keep hot.
7Add the onions to the fats in the pan, sea- son, increase the heat to medium, mix well and colour to the golden stage, moving them around with a wooden spatula to prevent sticking and colouring too fast.
8Sprinkle with half the flour and mix in thoroughly before adding the remainder.
9Cook for a few moments, stirring constantly, reduce the heat to low, add the vinegar, stir well and arrange the chicken on top.
10Cover and cook slowly for about 40 minutes until the chicken is tender and the moisture from the onions has made the sauce.
11During this time shake the pan frequently and do not lift the lid except to stir the ingredients twice.
12Correct the seasoning if necessary and serve very hot with plain boiled potatoes
