Here's how to make Coq au Vin Rosé:

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken (about 1.8 kg), cut into 8 pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 100 grams bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 480 ml rosé wine
  • 240 ml chicken broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme
  • 225 grams mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

  2. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.

  3. Brown the Chicken:
    • Add the chicken pieces to the pot in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  4. Sauté Vegetables:
    • Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Deglaze and Simmer:
    • Return the bacon and chicken to the pot.
    • Pour in the rosé wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
    • Add the bay leaf and thyme sprig.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  6. Cook the Mushrooms:
    • In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and any liquid has evaporated.

  7. Thicken the Sauce:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly.
    • Add the mushroom mixture to the pot with the chicken and stir well.
    • Continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  8. Serve:
    • Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprig.
    • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  9. Accompaniments:
    • Serve the Coq au Vin Rosé with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

Enjoy your classic Coq au Vin Rosé, a delightful twist on a traditional French dish, made with the delicate flavors of rosé wine!
