Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon
2 chicken breasts
2 legs
1/2 cup flour
Salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups pearl onions, peeled
2 cups mushrooms
2 carrots, cut in 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup cognac or brandy
1 bottle Burgundy wine
2 cups chicken broth
5 sprigs fresh thyme
2 teaspoons herbs de Provence
3 bay leaves
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, fry the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Coat chicken pieces in flour, salt and pepper. Brown chicken in hot bacon fat on both sides.
  • Add garlic, onions, mushrooms and carrots. Saute 2 minutes to soften. Pour cognac into a small glass. Remove pan from heat, pour in cognac, put pan back on the flame. Flambe by lighting a long match and holding it just above the pot and light the fumes. The brandy will catch fire and the flames will burn out within 1 minute. When the flames die down, gradually stir in the wine and broth. When the wine is well blended, add the herbs. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove cover and continue to simmer for 15 minutes to allow the sauce to reduce a bit. You may want to add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste or cornstarch to aid in the thickening process.
  • To serve, top the chicken and vegetables with reserved crumbled bacon and fresh parsley.

This coq au vin recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I think next time I will use less butter and cream.

I made this coq au vin recipe last night and it was delicious! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I've tried many coq au vin recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The combination of red wine, bacon, and mushrooms creates a sauce that is both complex and delicious. The chicken is also cooked to perfection. I highly recommend thi
