Method

  1. Heat the oil and half the butter in a large lidded casserole. Season the chicken, then fry for about 5 mins on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan. Add the onion, then fry for about 5 mins until soft. Add garlic, cook for about 1 min, add the mushrooms, cook for 2 mins, then add the wine. Stir in the tomato purée, let the liquid bubble and reduce for about 5 mins, then stir in the thyme and pour over the stock. Slip the chicken back into the pan, then cover and simmer on a low heat for about 1 hr until the chicken is very tender.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Rapidly boil down the sauce for 10 mins or so until it is syrupy and the flavour has concentrated. Put the chicken legs back into the sauce and serve.

    lovely, I used chicken fillets as my partner wont touch bones???. And I used white chardonnay instead of red wine. I used a knorr stock cube, just the one was more than enough, as they can be salty.

    This was delicious. Made it with chicken legs and they were very tender. The sauce didn't thicken as much as I thought it was and it was a bit greasy so maybe I'll reduce them amount of butter next time I make it, and add some more veg in it. I served it with mash. My boyfriend says he likes French peasant food, which this reminded him of.

    I used whatever chicken i had, so a mixture of breasts and thighs. I also has some smoked bacon in the fridge so that went in too. Served with mash and green beans with lots of bread to mop up!..... scrummy! Goes down well as a family meal.

    I put this in the slow cooker after I had put the stock in. Left it for about five hours. The sauce was then quite watery so I boiled it down for about fifteen minutes. Only thing I found was that a lot of the bones from the meat went into the sauce (think this was because of the slow cooking) so I would probably use chicken thighs or breast next time. It was till delicious though. I served it with mustard mash.

    to stevethechef: beg to differ. coq au vin is not always made with a red wine. that is a regional preference.

    Not much more to say that hasn't been said in the rave reviews before. Completely delicious, and the deep French style flabours certainly made it taste like a lot more effort had been put into making it! Made it the night before and the flavours were just delicious. Served with mustard mash and green beans, will definitely become a regular in this house.

    Excellent recipe, beautifully tender chicken and rich sauce. My family loved it- it will definitely be a regular in our house. If you like a lot of sauce don't over reduce it at the end.

    Very lovely dish. I used two chicken breasts and two thighs, both skin on. The thighs were much tender and flavoursome. Next time, I'll use just thighs.

    Very nice, but quite rich. though that may have been my choice of Red wine. As I drunk the rest of the bottle but wasn't impressed with the wine. But the chicken was lovely and tender and fell of the bone, great with creamy mash and some crusty bread to mop up the sauce yum yum. Might add some carrot next time and see what that is like, anyway 5/5 for me and will def make again during the winter months.

    As everyone has said, this is a lovely recipe. I adjusted it to use a tin of tomatoes and four chicken quarters. Will be making again.
