coq au vin
French braised poultry
Coq au vin is a French dish of chicken braised in wine, typically Burgundy, with mushrooms, onions, and bacon or lardons.
The name translates literally as "rooster in wine"—traditionally made with an older bird requiring long, slow cooking to tenderize.
She spent the afternoon preparing coq au vin for the dinner party.
