Coq Au Vin (Chicken Braised in Red Wine) image

Elegant but hearty chicken and wine dish. A nice blend of Burgundy, herbs, and garlic. I serve this with hot cooked noodles, crusty French bread, and a salad for a wonderful company meal. And don't forget the wine!

I wasn't a fan of the red wine sauce. I think I would have preferred a white wine sauce.

This dish is a bit too heavy for my taste. I prefer chicken dishes that are lighter and more delicate.
