From the Test Kitchen

Alsace, a region of France bordering Germany, distinctively (and deliciously) combines French and German culinary influences. In this Alsatian-style recipe, we’re coating our succulent chicken in the classic “quatre épices,” or four spices: pepper, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Alongside the chicken, we’re serving creamy smashed potatoes, and red cabbage glazed with red wine vinegar for tangy-sweet contrast and plenty of satisfying texture.
