Coq Au Vin

Something I've wanted to make for a long time and I have no interest in the Super Bowl (communist, I know) so I tackled it today.

Start with bacon in olive oil.





Set the bacon aside and brown the chicken legs and thighs.



Set the chicken aside and get the veggies going. Carrots, onions and minced garlic at the end.



Add the red wine, chicken stock, chicken and bacon and simmer for a bit.



Into the oven it goes for a half hour.

While it's in the oven brown the cremini mushrooms.





Out of the oven.



Add the pearl onions and mushrooms and a flour slurry and simmer until the sauce thickens.



Bon appetit.
