coq au vin recipe
Coq Au Vin, translated as Rooster In Wine, is traditionally made with chicken on the bone and red wine (traditionally Burgundy. But any wine could be used, with Riesling being a popular choice).
Direction:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
5. In the same pot, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
6. Add the dried thyme and rosemary to the pot and stir to combine.
7. Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, and bring to a simmer.
8. Add the chicken back to the pot, making sure it is fully submerged in the liquid.
9. Cover the pot with a lid or foil and place in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
10. After 45 minutes, remove the lid or foil and continue to cook for an additional 15 minutes to allow the chicken skin to crisp up.
11. Once the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy, remove the pot from the oven.
12. Serve the Coq au Vin hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
