Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 chicken thighs (with skin and bones), excess fat trimmed
3/4 cup chopped shallots (about 4)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound boiling onions, peeled
12 ounces crimini mushrooms, quartered (about 5 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 750-ml bottle red Zinfandel
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place 1 cup flour in shallow dish. Cook chopped bacon in heavy large pot over medium-high heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to bacon drippings in pot. Sprinkle chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, coat chicken thighs with flour and add to pot; sear until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Arrange chicken thighs in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish.
  • Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat from pot. Add shallots and garlic to pot and sauté 1 minute. Add onions, crimini mushrooms, and marjoram and sauté until onions begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add red Zinfandel and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add chicken stock and bacon; boil 5 minutes. Pour wine mixture over chicken in baking dish. Cover tightly with foil; bake until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.
  • Using tongs, transfer chicken thighs to platter. Strain wine mixture from baking dish into heavy medium saucepan. Transfer onion and mushroom mixture to platter with chicken; tent with foil to keep warm. Mix 2 tablespoons flour and butter in small bowl to blend. Bring wine mixture to boil. Whisk in flour mixture and boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to 2 3/4 cups, about 8 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle sauce over chicken and vegetables; sprinkle with chives.

This coq au vin recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not a big fan of coq au vin, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was incredible. I served it with mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I've tried many coq au vin recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I love serving it with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
