French Red Wine Chicken Recipe - 2

Cooking Steps 1. Place chicken pieces in a large bowl, add some red wine, thyme, and bay leaves, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (marinating overnight yields a richer flavor). Remove the chicken and pat the surface dry, reserving the marinade. 2. Heat a pan, fry bacon until crispy, then set aside. Next, use the bacon fat in the pan to sear the chicken pieces until golden brown, then set aside. 3. In the same pan, add a little butter and sauté onions, carrots, garlic, and mushrooms until colored and fragrant. 4. Sprinkle a little flour and stir-fry evenly. Pour in the reserved red wine and an appropriate amount of stock, then return the seared chicken and bacon to the pan. 5. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 30 to 45 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
