Coq Au Vin (Chicken in Red Wine) image

This is a Tyler Florence recipe that is very hearty and filling. Great for a cold night or a big crowd. The recipe says to let simmer 40 minutes, but I put it on at lunch time and cooked it all day and the chicken was super tender and falling off the bone!

Time 1h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 quarter chicken pieces (legs and thighs)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
fresh ground black pepper
1 (1 lb) bag frozen pearl onions, thawed
8 garlic cloves, smashed
1 lb cremini mushroom, halved
3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
2 1/2 cups full-bodied red wine (I used Pinot Noir)
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon over medium heat in olive oil in a large Dutch oven until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Season the chicken pieces generously with the salt and pepper and brown the pieces in 2 batches in the bacon drippings. Set aside.
  • Pour off about half of the pan drippings then add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the potatoes and carrots.
  • Add the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the flour, stir to coat the vegetables.
  • Pour in the wine and chicken broth, stir until you don't see any lumps of flour.
  • Add the chicken, thyme, bay leaves, and half of the bacon to the stew.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and braise until the chicken and vegetables are almost tender, about 40 minutes. Uncover and cook until sauce thickens, about 10 more minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley and vinegar. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with the remaining bacon.
  • Serve with a nice crusty bread.

This coq au vin was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was delicious. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The coq au vin turned out great! I used a dry red wine and it gave the dish a nice depth of flavor. I also added some fresh herbs from my garden, which really brightened up the dish.
