Coq Au Vin

Back

Coq Au Vin is a classic French dish that is known for its rich sauce and tender chicken. The dish is made by slowly braising chicken in a mixture of red wine, bacon, onions, garlic, and a variety of herbs and spices. The combination of ingredients creates a deep and complex flavour profile that perfectly complements the juicy and tender chicken.
