Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Place chicken in Dutch oven; cook 9 to 11 minutes, turning once, until deep golden brown on both sides. Remove chicken from Dutch oven.
• Add kielbasa to Dutch oven; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove kielbasa. Add onion; cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion starts to brown. Add potatoes, sauerkraut, kielbasa, broth, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to Dutch oven; stir. Place chicken on top of potato and sauerkraut mixture. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F) and potatoes are tender. Serve with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place sauerkraut over chicken and top with cheese slices. Pour dressing over all and cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (fork can be easily inserted and juices run clear). Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season chicken on all sides with salt. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; swirl in oil. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onion to skillet. Cook, scraping up browned bits, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in carrots and sauerkraut until well combined.
• Transfer sauerkraut mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Nestle chicken legs in mixture, cover with parchment-lined foil, and bake 30 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to 425 degrees, and bake until top is lightly caramelized and a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken legs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash and dry the chickens. Season the inside and outside of both birds with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add chestnuts and bay leaves and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook 3 minutes. Add sherry and 2 tablespoons thyme, and cook until sherry is reduced to a glaze, about 4 minutes. Cool.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons of thyme, coriander, and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Working carefully, separate the skin from the meat of the breasts and the thighs and rub spice mixture in between.
• Divide chestnut mixture evenly and use it to stuff the cavities of the chickens. Tie the legs together to hold the stuffing in place.
• Set the chickens on a nonstick roasting rack in a roasting pan, breast side down, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the chickens breast side up, baste with pan juices, and roast 40 minutes more, basting every 15 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted at the joint between the thigh and leg reaches 165 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Let cool for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, tilt the roasting pan and skim off and discard any fat. Add orange juice to the roasting pan, set the pan over a low flame, and scrape off any browned bits stuck to the pan.
• To serve, spoon the chestnuts out of the birds and into a bowl. Cut each chicken into 8 pieces (2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 breast halves, 2 wings) and pour the pan juices over chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set chicken in bottom.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Spread the sauerkraut over each piece of chicken, top with a slice of the provolone, and cover with the russian dressing.
• Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake until chicken is tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
• **NOTE** Use the sauerkraut that comes packaged in the plastic bags or in the glass jars.
• The kind that is kept refrigerated in the market.
• It is crisper and does not have a \\\"canned\\\" taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wipe chicken inside and out and season the cavity with salt and pepper.
• Rinse the sauerkraut in cold water and drain well.
• Heat the oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large oven-proof casserole and brown the chicken on all sides. Be careful not to break the skin. Remove the chicken and set aside. Pour off the fat from the casserole.
• Heat the two tablespoons of butter in the casserole and saute the onion over medium heat until soft. Add the sauerkraut and garlic and cook a few minutes longer. Spread the sauerkraut over the bottom of the casserole and place the chicken on top of it. Put the bay leaf on the chicken, pour the vermouth around the chicken, bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven to roast for one hour.
• Lift chicken from the casserole, draining any juices from the cavity and rest it on a platter. Using a slotted spoon, drain the sauerkraut from the casserole and spread it around the chicken and cover the platter with foil to keep it warm.
• Add the chicken stock to casserole and heat juices. Dissolve the cornstarch in the one-quarter cup of cold reserved sauerkraut juice and gradually stir this mixture into the simmering sauce. Season to taste. Pour a little of the sauce over the chicken and pass the rest at the table.
