3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons bleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 bay leaves
4 cups seeded and chopped plum tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Emeril's Red Pepper Sauce or other hot pepper sauce

Steps:

Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of the flour and cook, stirring, to cook the flour without browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chicken stock, Worcestershire, and pepper sauce.
  • Return the chicken to the pot, increase the heat under the sauce to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fall-from the bone tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
  • To serve, spoon the rice onto plates, top with the chicken and sauce, and garnish with the green onions and parsley.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

BAYOU STYLE CHICKEN SAUCE PIQUANTE



Bayou Style Chicken Sauce Piquante image

Cajun and Creole homes have been dining on Sauce Piquant for generations. Some like it with Alligator, some with chicken. The main ingredient can even be seafood. But the process is all the same. You must have the trinity (onion, bell pepper, and celery), and you must make a roux.

Provided by Penny Stettinius

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 -3 tablespoons canola oil
2 lbs cut up chicken pieces
3 tablespoons creole seasoning
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup bacon grease
1 cup flour
6 ounces tomato paste
kosher salt and black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • In a Lagre heavy pot heat the oil.
  • Dredge chicken pieces in Creole seasonings and 1/2 cup flour and brown in the oil, preferably in a cast iron pan.
  • Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Keep the heat going under your frying pan and add the bacon grease.
  • When grease is hot, slowly whisk in the flour.
  • Stir constantly until the roux turns the color of caramel, the darker the better. About 30 minutes.
  • Carefully add the onion, bell pepper, celery and stir, about 5 minutes until all is incorporated and vegetables are soft.
  • Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add Chicken broth, tomato paste, sugar, salt and pepper; cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is done.
  • Taste and reseason.
  • Add green onion and parsley.
  • Cover, reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Brown the meat well: This will help to develop flavor and color in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the meat will not brown properly and the sauce will be watery.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is simmered, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the sauce hot: Coq au vin is best served hot, over rice or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Coq au vin is a delicious and classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The rich, flavorful sauce is made with red wine, chicken broth, and vegetables. The chicken is braised in the sauce until it is fall-off-the-bone tender. Coq au vin is typically served with rice or mashed potatoes. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
