Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan or flameproof dish. Tip in 3 trimmed and chopped smoked back bacon rashers and fry until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
• Add 12 peeled shallots to the pan and fry, stirring or shaking the pan often, for 5-8 mins until well browned all over. Remove and set aside with the bacon.
• Take 2 chicken legs, 4 chicken thighs and 2 boneless chicken breasts, all with skin removed and pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Pour ½ tbsp olive oil into the pan, then fry half the chicken pieces, turning regularly, for 5-8 mins until well browned. Remove, then repeat with the remaining chicken. Remove and set aside.
• Scatter in 3 finely chopped garlic cloves and fry briefly, then, with the heat medium-high, pour in 3 tbsp brandy or Cognac, stirring the bottom of the pan to deglaze. The alcohol should sizzle and start to evaporate so there is not much left.
• Return the chicken legs and thighs to the pan along with any juices, then pour in a little of 600ml red wine, stirring the bottom of the pan again.
• Stir in the rest of the wine, 150ml good-quality chicken stock and 2 tsp tomato purée. Drop in 3 thyme sprigs, 2 rosemary sprigs and 2 bay leaves to make a bouquet garni, season with pepper and a pinch of salt, then return the bacon and shallots to the pan.
• Cover, lower the heat to a gentle simmer, add the chicken breasts and cook for 50 mins - 1hr.
• Just before ready to serve, heat 1 ½ tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add 250g chestnut mushrooms, halved if large, and fry over a high heat for a few mins until golden. Remove and keep warm.
• Lift the chicken, shallots and bacon from the pan and transfer to a warmed serving dish. Remove the bouquet garni.
• To make the thickener, mix 2 tbsp plain flour, 1 ½ tsp olive oil and 1 tsp softened butter in a small bowl using the back of a teaspoon.
• Bring the wine mixture to a gentle boil, then gradually drop in small pieces of the thickener, whisking each piece in using a wire whisk. Simmer for 1-2 mins.
• Scatter the mushrooms over the chicken, then pour over the wine sauce. Garnish with a handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley.

SIMPLE AND EASY COQ AU VIN

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a shallow bowl. Pour milk into a separate bowl. Dip chicken in the milk, allowing excess milk to drip back into bowl. Dredge chicken through flour mixture until evenly coated.
• Cook 1/2 of the chicken in the hot oil until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pot and brown remaining chicken. Return all the chicken to the pot.
• Mix mushrooms, carrots, and onion into chicken, stirring gently to distribute vegetables among the chicken. Pour wine over chicken and vegetables, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pot. Add enough chicken broth to nearly cover the chicken and vegetables.
• Stir Italian seasoning, rosemary, salt, and pepper into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour.

COQ AU VIN

Steps:

• Reduce wine: In a large saucepan, add the wines. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half, at a very low temperature, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the fridge, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, break down the chicken: First, slice away the leg and thigh from each side, including the "oysters" (the small, round pieces of meat nestled on each side of the backbone). Next, find the joint between the leg and thigh; slice through the joint and cut the leg and thigh into separate pieces. Chop off the cartilaginous ends of the drumsticks and discard. Trim the tips of the wings, then cut down either side of the backbone and remove. Discard the wingtips and backbone, or save for stock. Lay the knife along the center of the breastbone; whack the back of the knife with your free hand to split, then slice the breasts into two pieces. Cut each breast in half crosswise, for a total of 8 pieces. Marinate chicken: Transfer chicken pieces to a large bowl or container; add the reduced wine. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• After at least 6 hours of marinating, brown the chicken: Preheat oven to 325 F. Remove chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; then season with salt and pepper and lightly dredge in flour. In large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. When butter is foamy, add chicken, skin side down, in an even layer; then distribute 1 more tablespoon of butter around the pot. Turn heat to high and sear for 3-4 minutes. When the skin is nicely seared, sprinkle additional flour over the chicken to aid browning, and add 2 more tablespoons of butter. Use a meat fork to flip the chicken and sear for another 3-4 minutes on the second side.
• Sweat vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Meanwhile, cut celery into 1-inch pieces on a bias; cut any large cloves of garlic in half; cut carrots into rough 1-inch pieces. When butter is foamy, add celery, mushrooms, garlic, carrots, and pearl onions; sweat, tossing occasionally, 2 minutes. Meanwhile, cut bacon into ½-inch thick chunks; add to skillet and toss to combine. Stir tomato paste into the vegetables, then season with a pinch of salt and several grinds of white pepper.
• Braise: Add 1 cup of red wine marinade to the vegetables; pour the remaining marinade over the chicken. Gently shake the pot to ensure the chicken is not sticking. Allow vegetables to absorb the wine for 1 minute; then stir and add to the chicken. Make a spice and herb sachet: Place cracked white pepper, coriander seed, parsley, thyme, and bay leaf in the middle of a square of cheesecloth. Make a bundle, tie with twine, and trim the excess cheesecloth; place sachet into the pot. Bring to a simmer; then place in the oven, uncovered, and braise for 30 minutes. (Total braising time will be 50 minutes.)
• After 30 minutes, remove Coq au Vin from oven. Remove and set aside the 4 breast pieces. (Optional: Remove bones for easier eating.) Leave the leg and thigh pieces, as they take longer to cook. Add warm chicken stock; then return pot to oven to continue braising until the meat is tender, 10-20 more minutes.
• Use tongs and a spider strainer to pull chicken pieces from the pot, leaving the sauce behind; arrange on a serving platter. Remove and discard sachet. Next, remove vegetables and bacon from the pot, leaving only the sauce behind, and arrange around the chicken. Reduce sauce: Place a chinois or fine-mesh strainer over a large saucepan; strain the sauce into it, pressing it through with the back of a ladle to extract all the liquid. Bring sauce a boil over high heat; then reduce heat to medium and simmer to reduce by ⅓, 6-8 minutes. As the sauce simmers, use a spoon or ladle to gently skim off any fat or impurities that rise to the top. When sauce has nearly finished reducing, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry; add to the sauce to thicken and whisk well to combine. Simmer for 5 more minutes.
• Spoon sauce over Coq au Vin. Garnish with parsley and serve. (Serve Coq au Vin with rice, polenta, potatoes, or gnocchi.)
