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.

    A fantastic dish! I added some bacon and used carrots instead of mushrooms. Carrots could've done with less cooking: will add them halfway through the simmering next time. Served with a pile of mashed potato it was a perfect winter warmer.

    Made this last night for the girls - as others have said, it's perfect when you have people round because you can just leave it to simmer away. I added chopped streaky bacon and carrots as I had some in the fridge. The final sauce was thinner than I expected but the flavour was beautiful and the meat (I used thighs) incredibly tender. To Abi who asked about browning the chicken, it could be that your pan was a bit small and too crowded with the chicken, bringing down the temperature in the pan. Mine also took a while to brown and I think this was why.

    Really, really delicious. I can't believe you can get so much flavour from so few ingredients. We substituted the mushrooms for Chantenay Carrots. I will definitely be making this one again. Perfect with really creamy mashed potatoes.

    I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs in mine and it was delicious! If you use legs the meat falls off the bones anyway, so you have to fish them out before you serve. I didn't add any veg to the dish as I didn't feel it needed any, and I took the lid off for the last half an hour of cooking. It's a really lovely dish that I will definitely be making again!

    This was just so easy and so delicious. Deff a much better alternative to coq au vin which is much more laborious. I did find though at the end I needed about 20 minutes instead of ten to get the sauce down to a syrup. already one of my favourites!

    Loved the flavours. I actually found that, unlike others 'stews' this tasted better after the 1st hour of cooking than it did reheating it later. Also found that the sauce didn't reduce down that much even after 20 mins.

    10/10 here - delicious!!! Used chicken thighs, and followed the recipe religiously. Have a pot simmering on the stove right now :-) It will be served with creamy mash and crunchy fine green beans and good bread to mop up the sauce. This is simply the very best recipe I have found on Good Food. Thank you!
