How to Make Chicken Fricassee | Food Wishes
This is my favorite version of the comforting, classic French dish of chicken, which is browned, and then stewed in a super savory, creamy sauce flavored with mushrooms, and white wine. This is a must-make for any serious home cook. Enjoy!

Chef John is 100% right about where I first heard the term fricassee.

I would agree. I basically learned to cook from Chef John many many years ago. In fact, I dream of starting my own restaurant or at least some kind of food business. If I ever do that and it succeeds, I'll have Chef John to thank!
My mom makes my grandma's recipe which she brought over to California with her from her home of New Orleans. She batters the chicken and shallow fries it. Also uses minced celery. I always knew that "grand mama's stew chicken" was French inspired since she was from Louisiana but I had no idea that it was Fricassee haha. This is a wonderful video and it brings me back to my childhood. I've got my chicken on a low simmer in the sauce as we speak. Cheers chef John, and thank you for all of the joy you've brought to my kitchen!
My life would not be the same without Chef John!
Love this Channel so much. You never changed your content. Always good recipes and kept it that way. Thank you Chef John. The only real cooking channel ! Hope we have you for lot longer time on youtube.

Ingredients: 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 cups thickly sliced fresh mushrooms 1 cup diced yellow onion ½ cup sliced shallots (Optional) 2 cloves garlic, minced ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 pinch cayenne 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups white wine 6 sprigs thyme 1 cup chicken broth ½ cup heavy cream Directions: Season chicken thighs with salt on both sides. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and place chicken skin-side-down into the hot oil. Cook until there is a good sear and fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until seared as well, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Leave 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the pan and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add onion, shallots, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with pepper and cayenne and stir in flour to thicken the mixture, about 1 minute. Pour in white wine and cook, stirring, until alcohol has evaporated. Raise the heat to high and keep cooking until sauce has reduced to half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-lo and add chicken and any accumulated juices back into the skillet, skin side up. Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes, turning over thighs halfway through. Remove lid and turn thighs back to skin side up. Continue to simmer uncovered, basting occasionally, until chicken is tender and sauce reduces even more. If the pan gets dry before the chicken is tender, add some more water or broth. Add cream and simmer until sauce reaches desired thickness. Heat can be raised to medium to reduce cream faster if chicken is already tender. Sauce can be served thin and runny, or reduced to a thick sauce. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and serve.

This was the first time I saw the chicken browned, it makes the dish so much more appetizing, thanks for your great videos, Chef John!
This looks like one of your recipes that you dont forget, that got me really into cooking. I look forward to making this one.
Chicken fricassee and mashed potatoes is my favourite thing to eat
The show that never disappoints. The music, chef John's voice and humour and the great recipes and easy instructions. Thank you!!!
Beyond desserts, I've never really had French cuisine before. I just made this recipe after watching the video and legit almost cried at the first bite. Thanks for making it so easy :D
Chef John, ever since I first saw your technique of adding some flour to the mushrooms/aromatics in your Salisbury Steak recipe, it has completely changed my sauce-making game. It's the only way I make any sort of gravy now. I'm glad to see the technique being reprised here, and I can't wait to try this recipe!
Love it when mushrooms are cooked first before onions/shallots are added. People who cook onions first are missing out on the extra mushroom flavor. I even fry them until crispy... soooooo good.

Nice, you can't go wrong with that style mushrooms and onions on some good fresh toasted bread with butter :)
I've been making fricassee for years and never knew what it was called until today. Yes, if you like playing with your food, Lord knows all the things you'll come up with and learn. As always, Thanks Chef John.
"We paid for those juices! And, darn it, we're gonna use 'em!" - Chef John Mitzewich 2022
This is soo interesting I always thought this was a puertorican dish, but here is done with potatoes instead of mushrooms and red wine. But it make sense in the 17h there was a big French community in PR and ingredients may be different due availability, and since is been made for soo long people recognized as their own with their own ingredients. This is soo great, love this videos.❤️❤️🧡💛

Typically European French would use white wine with chicken and red wine with red meat like in a beef burgundy dish. I like your idea of potatoes, I think I might try it with potatoes and mushrooms together and go with the white wine, since that's what I have

This video brought a tear to my eye, so beautiful.
Made this for dinner tonight. It was awesome. Thank you so much.
I love the cadence (& humor) of chef John's directions
Man I'm making this for dinner!!!😋 I'm salivating!!! Thank you Chef John!! Love all your delicious recipes!!☺️👍🔥🔥
This was amazing! My whole family loved it. I don’t even like mushrooms that much, but your cooking inspires me and challenges me to do/try more. Thank you Chef John👏🏻👏🏻
Chicken thighs are so forgiving that a size difference isn't quite as big an issue as it is with chicken breast. Great recipe video.
Every recipe I try - works!!! I just wish chef would speak to us like he does around his own table. The “presentation voice” inflection drives me CRAZY. Wife makes me listen with headphones….oh well. Worth it
Hey Chef John, I don't know why I took so long to start listening to your podcast but it is prenominal. You and Andrew are a joy to listen to!
First try on this recipe, followed the instructions to the letter and just.. wow. That was excellent! Super rich sauce and the chicken was fall apart tender. Thanks Chef John, were it not for your channel I'd have never even made the attempt on half the dishes we make regularly now.
SAVE THE CHICKEN FAT FOR GRILLED CHEESE? The man is a genius. I think I would also like to saute sliced mushrooms as well to add to the cheese in the middle, and then grill the sandwich, maybe with a sprig of thyme in the pan as well. We can have the fricassee tomorrow.
Beautiful, classic recipe perfectly presented. I can really get excited about the preparation of the mushrooms! That's exactly how it should be done. The mushrooms are said to lose almost all moisture and thus develop their full aroma. Mushrooms prepared in this way still need cream, thyme, black pepper, some lemon zest and a splash of sherry - a perfect pasta sauce. From me a clear LIKE for this classic from France.
you cant help but like this guy
Amazing recipe. The best.
This is the French fricassée de volaille à l'ancienne. Quite delicious. There is also a south Louisiana version that uses onion, celery and bell pepper and a brown roux gravy served over white rice.

@@MeauxSTTDB He’s doing it right. It’s the French version, not the Louisiana version. In the Louisiana version you make a roux and brown the roux before adding the aromatic vegetables and cream is never used (although some Louisiana families add a scoop of sour cream when it’s finished while many do not). In the French version, you sprinkle flour into your aromatic vegetables after they are wilted and cook it for a minute or so before adding cream.

Thanks Chef John! I have some thighs in the fridge I can’t decide what to do with… now I do! Also, hearing the words “Chicken Fricasse” makes me think of the buffet scene from Fargo where the deputy asks Margie “How’s the Fricassee?”
I just made this tonight and it is amazingly delicious. Thanks, Chef John!

chef john bringing the taste of home kitchen to youtube. thank you bro
Made this last night, delicious!
Intersting. In Germany, we cook a whole chicken (or parts) and then use the fresh chicken stock to make a creamy sauce like a bechamel with mushrooms and then put small pieces of the cooked chicken in there. This looks like a very good alternative.
Looks like I will be breaking my "no skin no fat" rule. This looks delicious!
