Chef Paul Bocuse's coq au vin: a delicious classic French chicken recipe with the full-bodied flavour of red wine. Make it simple with his recipe!
Drain and dry the chicken, then let it brown in a large stew pot.
Once golden, add the cognac and let it flame.
Then add a bit of all purpouse flour, and turn off the heat.
After having sautéed the vegetables in a bit of butter or lard, put everything into the stew pot and add wine.
When warmed through, lower the flame and cook for 30-40 minutes, half-covered, turning the pieces over every so often.
