COQ AU VIN WITH ROSEMARY AND THYME



Coq Au Vin with Rosemary and Thyme image

My take on the classic French dish. I loved to experiment and didn't follow a recipe. I know the main idea was braising chicken in wine, and you need to flavor to your tastes. Thyme and rosemary always go great with chicken, and bacon...well it's bacon. My favorite side dish is mashed potatoes and French/Italian bread to soak up the juices. One time I forgot I didn't have potatoes, so on the fly I shredded the chicken, tossed the bones, and we had a great soup/stew on a cold night. A lot of flavor with very little work. Enjoy.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ pound bacon, chopped
6 chicken thighs, or more to taste
2 shallots, chopped
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon minced garlic, or more to taste
2 cups dry white wine
1 cup sliced mushrooms, or to taste
1 cup chicken stock, or more as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving bacon grease in skillet.
  • Place chicken thighs in the bacon grease and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add shallots, thyme, rosemary, and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle bacon over chicken mixture and pour in wine; simmer until wine is slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and enough chicken stock to almost cover chicken. Cover skillet and simmer for 35 minutes; taste broth and adjust seasoning. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink near the bone, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour and cook until a thick paste forms, about 1 minute. Whisk paste into chicken mixture until sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

CLASSIC COQ AU VIN RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic Coq Au Vin Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: skin-on chicken leg quarter, kosher salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, bay leaves, fresh parsley stems, red burgundy wine, bacon, large carrots, large white onion, cremini mushroom, cremini mushroom, garlic, tomato paste, all-purpose flour, brandy, extra virgin olive oil, unsalted butter, pearl onion, sugar, fresh parsley, baguette

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 lb skin-on chicken leg quarter
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
¼ bunch fresh parsley stems
3 cups red burgundy wine, or any dry red wine
1 cup bacon, cubed
3 large carrots, peeled and minced
1 large white onion, chopped
½ lb cremini mushroom, sliced
½ lb cremini mushroom, quartered
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup brandy
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 oz pearl onion, peeled
1 pinch sugar
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
1 baguette, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Toss until well coated.
  • Tie the thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and parsley stems together with kitchen twine to make a bouquet garni.
  • Add the bouquet garni to the bowl with the chicken. Pour the wine over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight.
  • In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium-low heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving any excess fat in the pot.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the liquid, and place on a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the chicken with more paper towels until completely dry.
  • Heat the bacon fat over medium heat until nearly smoking. Working in batches, add the chicken legs skin-side down in a single layer and cook until well browned, 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Add the carrots, onion, sliced mushrooms, and garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 3 minutes, until darkened and fragrant. Then, sprinkle in the flour and cook for another minute, until incorporated.
  • Pour the brandy into the pot and cook, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pot, until the liquid has evaporated, 2 minutes.
  • Add the reserved marinade, including the bouquet garni. Stir to incorporate, then bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
  • Return the chicken and half the cooked bacon to the pot. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pearl onions and a pinch of salt and sugar. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes, shaking the skillet often to move the onions around.
  • Uncover, add the quartered mushrooms, and increase the heat to medium-high. Continue to cook until all the vegetables have softened, 5-8 minutes. Add the onions and mushrooms to the coq au vin.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and the reserved bacon. Serve with crusty bread.
  • Enjoy!
