Lidia's Classic Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken Cacciatore. A classic Italian dish that I love making. The “caccia” in cacciatore means “hunt,” so I guess this is chicken hunter’s style. It's been an Italian-American favorite for years and a dish with roots going back to the Renaissance. This dish is good made with a whole chicken, but I prefer it made with drum sticks and thighs only. It's great with polenta or some pasta, but I love it with a chunk of crusty semolina bread. Join me in my kitchen as I make it here. #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood @AccademiadeiCento 00:00 - Intro 00:12 - Butchering the Chicken 02:12 - Cooking the Chicken 05:25 - Making the Sauce 08:30 - Preparing the Vegetables 09:29 - Aperitivo Time - Prosecco Punch 10:40 - Cheese Crostini 12:30 - Plating the Dish Recipe - https://lidiasitaly.com/recipes/chicken-cacciatore/ Be sure to hit the Subscribe button so you don't miss any upcoming episodes!
