Chicken Fricasee

Like many other chefs my age, I heard about "fricasseeing" years before even thinking about going to culinary school. It wasn't Julia Child, or the Galloping Gourmet, but rather a much more important cultural, and social phenomenon, Looney Tunes….

"Fricassee" is a generic culinary term that refers to meat stewed in a pan, usually with wine, after being very well browned first. It's a perfect way to cook rabbit, or a tough old chicken, and can be adapted a hundred different ways.
