This coq au vin was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This was my first time making coq au vin, and it turned out delicious! I used a whole chicken, and it took a little longer to cook, but it was worth it. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This coq au vin was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less butter and cream.
