The chicken drenched in a rich, creamy bacon and tarragon sauce is a delicious, budget-friendly and delicious dinner night option, made with skin-on bone-in whole chicken legs. You can of course opt for the chicken breast if that's what you prefer, but go bone-in, skin-on when you can. Skin helps to keep the chicken moist during cooking, and the bones add an extra layer of flavour to the meat.

 
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 4 Small whole chicken legs
  • Sea salt and ground pepper
  • 1 Medium brown onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 60 g Bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp Dried tarragon
  • 2 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 360 ml Chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp Dijon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tsp Dijon medium hot mustard
  • 3 tbsp Crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp Finely chopped parsley
  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a sauté pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, skin side down, for 10 minutes. Turn over and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add the onion, bacon, tarragon, garlic and a pinch of salt to the pan. Cook until the onions are soft. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the chicken with any juices, cover and cook over a gentle heat until the chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the mustards and crème fraîche, stir into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Scatter over the parsley.

It definitely is an Autumn meal for these first coldish days. I will stuff a hokkaido tomorrow to put my oven into use.
