Chicken With Riesling

1. 1

   In a skillet large enough to hold the chicken, heat butter or oil over medium heat for a minute or so.

2. 2

   Add onions and a large pinch of salt and some pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften completely and begin to melt into a soft mass, about 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Add 1 1/2 cups of wine and let it bubble away for a minute, then tuck chicken pieces among onions; sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Turn heat to low, and cover pan.

5. 5

   Cook, turning chicken pieces once or twice, for 40 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is very tender (the meat on the drumsticks will begin to loosen from the bone).

6. 6

   If dish appears to be drying out, add remaining wine.

7. 7

   Serve chicken with crusty bread or white rice or another grain, spooning the onions and their liquid over all.
