🇫🇷 France recipe

Coq au Vin

One of the great dishes of French country cooking, coq au vin transforms humble chicken into a deeply flavorful braise by simmering it slowly in a full bottle of Burgundy wine with smoky lardons, earthy mushrooms, and sweet pearl onions. The sauce reduces to a glossy, wine-dark velvet.
