Coq au vin (chicken with wine)

Yummie factor: 9
My favourite French cuisine, from Bruno Loubet, my favourite French chef.




Steps:
1. Marinade the chicken 1 day in the refrigerator: 0.5l red wine, chicken stock, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, bay leaf, tyme, tarragon (or use bouquet garni mix).
2. The next day, separate the chicken, vegetables and the wine. Cover the chicken with flour, fry the chicken in a pan to brown.
3. Stir fry the vegetables, add the wine marinade and the chicken, cover with a lid, bring to boil, add chicken stock/red wine if necessary (the chicken should be covered with the wine marinade), simmer with low heat 1 hour, the whole house will smell nicely due to French wine/spices.
4. Separate the wine/liquid, thicken the liquid with flour/beurre manie, add these sauce to the chicken.
5. Stir fry the bacon, add to the chicken.
6. Stir fry the mushrooms and button onions/shallots, add to the chicken.
7. The taste will enhance if you keep the cuisine 1 day more in the refrigerator, then warm the cuisine, season with salt & pepper.

Presentation: serve with mash potato and witlof.
