Now, why do we think our Chicken Francese recipe is the best? It all comes down to the sauce. Yes you have to make sure that you coat the chicken properly and simmer it in the sauce until it’s almost fork tender. BUT the sauce is what it’s all about.
One of our friends kids calls this “that delicious brown sauce” and there’s really no other way to describe it. Delicious sauce with the perfect amount of lemon and white wine and just the right thickness to coat the chicken. Simple ingredients with just the right ratio.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST CHICKEN FRANCESE
Just a few ingredients go into this classic dish, so make sure each one is the best you can find. For instance, use fresh lemon juice, not the stuff from the bottle. Find the best store bought chicken stock you can find, or make your own and freeze it for recipes like this. And as far as the wine goes, it doesn’t have to be really expensive wine, just a good quality wine that you like drinking.
Don’t buy cooking wine from the grocery store! It’s really not even close to the same flavor as real wine and it will make this chicken recipe taste subpar at best.
