Coq au Vin is a cozy and rustic French stew made with hearty bone-in chicken thighs, deeply flavored red wine, aromatic herbs, and a base of vegetables that's all slow simmered to rich, glorious perfection!
Traditional Coq au Vin is a centuries old dish and a staple in French cuisine. It's an incredibly hearty and comforting dish built with a bit of time and layer upon layer of flavor.
The foundational ingredients are all browned in batches first, then red wine and seasoned broth are added while scraping up that flavorful fond (the browned bits at the bottom of the pan), then it's all slowly braised over a low heat until everything is tender and infused with rich flavor. From there the sauce is thickened with a roux (flour and butter mixture), and the bacon is added back at the end to maintain its crispness.
It's such a memorable dish with full bodied flavor. There's a reason it's become a world renowned dish!
Serve it with one of the many options listed below. I would say you can never go wrong with mashed potatoes to complement its rustic, homestyle goodness.
