France is known for its refined cuisine, and Coq au vin is one of the most iconic dishes in French cookery. Tender chicken, slowly braised in strong red wine, together with aromatic herbs, bacon and mushrooms - a true explosion of flavour! This classic braised dish originates from French country cooking and impresses with its intense, deep flavour. The slow cooking process ensures that the meat is incredibly tender and all the flavours meld perfectly.
Tip: Coq au vin tastes even better the next day when the flavours are properly infused. Served with fresh baguette, mashed potatoes or buttered rice, this dish brings a touch of French elegance to your plate.
Let yourself be seduced by the flavours of France and try our recipe for the perfect coq au vin - hearty, aromatic and irresistibly delicious!
Firstly, season the chicken pieces with salt & pepper, fry in a large casserole dish with olive oil & butter until golden brown and then remove.
Now fry the bacon, then add the shallots, garlic & carrots and sauté. Then stir in the tomato purée & flour.
Deglaze everything with red wine & stock. Now add thyme, bay leaf and chicken pieces into the pan and simmer over a medium heat for approx. 90 minutes until the meat is tender.
In the meantime, sauté the mushrooms separately and add to the coq au vin. Then simmer for another 10 minutes.
