Coq au Vin Blanc image

Just as Oregon borrows from Burgundy in vineyards planted with pinot noirs and chardonnays, that region also inspires dinner. The iconic boeuf bourguignon would not be the best choice with chardonnay, but this version of coq au vin, replacing Chambertin with chardonnay, couldn't be better. I went light with it, omitting the bacon lardons. And I gave a nod to Oregon's truffle crop by finishing the sauce with a gloss of black truffle butter. It's a modest investment that elevates the dish. A generous slab of unsalted butter (especially if it's high-fat European-style) could also bolster the sauce, though with less foxy intrigue.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon grape-seed oil
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, in 10 pieces without backbone, dried
Salt and ground white pepper
8 ounces white pearl onions, blanched 3 minutes and peeled
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
4 cloves garlic, sliced
9 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed, clumps separated
3/4 cup chardonnay
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter (unsalted or black truffle)
1 tablespoon minced tarragon

Steps:

  • Heat the oil on medium-high in a 4-quart stovetop casserole or sauté pan. Add the chicken, skin side down, as many pieces as fit comfortably. Cook until lightly browned, season with salt and pepper and turn to brown other side. Remove to a platter when done and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Add the pearl onions to casserole and toss in fat until lightly browned. Remove to a dish. Reduce heat to low. Add the chopped onion, celery and garlic, cook until softened, and stir in the mushrooms. When they wilt, add the wine, bring to a simmer and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Return chicken to casserole with any accumulated juices, baste, cover and cook 30 minutes, basting a few more times. Remove the chicken to a platter.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and cook the sauce and mushrooms about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Lower heat, add the pearl onions and butter. When butter melts, check seasonings, return chicken to casserole, baste and simmer a few minutes. Serve from casserole or transfer to a deep platter. Scatter the tarragon on top before serving.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was tender, but the sauce was a bit bland.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but the sauce didn't turn out very well.

This coq au vin blanc was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the chicken was a bit fatty.
