If you had a barbecue party the night before and have lots of leftover food, don’t just flush them away – you can indeed utilise them to create new yummy dishes. A lot of people would agree that chicken brisket is better on the next day! Oh Wait a minute, what the hell is Chicken Brisket?
Beef brisket is the most delicious latke pairing during the traditional Jewish Festivals. But for those trying to reduce red meat intake, or who simply want to spice up their holiday primary-dish game, try braising chicken in an authentic brisket sauce. Flavored with red wine, paprika, and a touch of honey, and heaped with sliced onions, the chicken is falling-off-the-bone tender with a beautifully craveable sweet-savory sauce. And since chicken cooks significantly faster than a side of brisket, Hanukkah dinner doesn’t take 12 hours for dinner.
If you have no idea how to repurpose your leftover chicken dish, here is my authentic delicious leftover chicken brisket recipe that you should try right away.
