Wild mushrooms add depth of flavor to this take on the French classic. Make sure your bacon isn't too smoky; it could overwhelm the dish.

Yield Makes 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
5 skin-on, bone-in chicken legs (thigh and drumstick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
N/A freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/3" slices
3 carrots, peeled, chopped
3 celery stalks, minced
1 onion, minced
4 cups dry red wine, such as Burgundy, divided
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 quart low-sodium chicken broth
12 sprigs thyme
6 sprigs rosemary
1 pound assorted wild mushrooms, such as oyster and maitake, cleaned, cut into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in batches until browned, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add bacon to pot; cook until rendered. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until onion is translucent, 7-8 minutes. Stir in 1 cup wine and tomato paste; simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add remaining 3 cups wine. Boil until wine is reduced by half, 15-20 minutes. Return chicken to pot.
  • Add broth. Tie thyme and rosemary sprigs together; add to pot. Bring to a boil and cover pot. Transfer pot to oven and braise until chicken is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken from sauce to pot with mushrooms; keep warm. Simmer sauce over medium heat until reduced by 1/3, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add mushrooms and chicken to sauce. DO AHEAD: Coq au vin can be made 3 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold. Cover; keep chilled. Rewarm before serving.
