Preparation
Kitchen utensils
1 Sieve, 1 Cutting board, 1 Small knife, 1 Bowl, 1 beschichtete Skillet, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Parchment paper, 1 Baking sheet, 1 Teaspoon, 1 Tablespoon
Preparation steps
1.
Put the chicken into a large heavy-based pan and just cover with water. Add the wine, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to cool. Leave the liquid to simmer very gently.
2.
Tear the meat from the chicken bones. Return the bones to the simmering liquid and cook gently for a further 30 minutes.
3.
Put the chicken meat into a bowl. Add the tarragon and spring onions and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well and put into a large terrine or deep serving dish, then chill while you prepare the jelly.
4.
Strain the liquid through a sieve into a bowl. Cover and chill until completely cold and partly set.
5.
Remove any fat from the surface of the set liquid. Put the partly set jelly into a pan (don't include the sediment that has settled at the bottom) and heat gently until almost simmering. Season to taste then remove from the heat.
6.
Sprinkle the gelatine over the white wine vinegar and then dissolve in the heated liquid, stirring well. Allow to cool to room temperature, then ladle over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate overnight until completely set.
7.
To serve: invert the terrine or dish onto a serving platter and unmould. Serve sliced with chicory leaves and tarragon.
