Coq Au Vin image

I can't remember where I found this recipe. I've been making it for years and it's one of my families most requested. I prepare this in a cooker/fryer. Cook time includes all cooking needed. The meat gets so tender through the final cooking process that the meat literally falls off the bones. Because of that, I prefer to use all boneless chicken thighs and breasts. A rule of thumb to follow for the wine......only use a wine in this recipe that you consider good enough to drink.

I thought this coq au vin was just okay. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste.

This coq au vin was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This was the best coq au vin I've ever had! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This coq au vin was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that was because I used a different type of wine than the recipe called for.

The coq au vin was good, but I think I would have preferred it with a red wine sauce instead of a white wine sauce.
