Coq au Vin is the classic French braise of chicken and vegetables. You can make the dish in advance, as I always do, and then reheat it on the stove top shortly before serving time. Thank you for watching. Ingredients for 6 servings listed below.
Olive oil
8 ounces bacon
2 large onions
2 large cloves of garlic (or, use pureed garlic)
Kosher salt and freshly-ground pepper
1 pound carrots
Optional: 1/4 cup brandy or cognac
12 chicken thighs (2 thighs per person)
1 pound sliced mushrooms
2 cups organic chicken stock
2-3 cups dry red wine
1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
