Coq au Vin is a classic French dish of cock cooked in red wine, traditionally a Bourgogne. Obviously can't call this one as an authentic Coq au Vin as I used chicken drumsticks and pinot noir instead. Besides that, I purposely left out the bacon. The end result was for sure different, but it was absolutely delicious!
Quick Coq au Vin
--adapted from My Recipes
|
- Combine flour, thyme, and salt in a bowl. Coat the chicken drumsticks with flour mixture, shaking off excess flour. Soak the dried mushrooms in a bowl of warm water for 30 minutes until softened. Drain and cut into 2-3 pieces.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning frequently, until they are browned, about 8 minutes. Remove and drain on the paper.
- Add in prepared mushrooms and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the aroma is released. Pour in red wine, broth, and tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil. Return the chicken drumsticks to the pan. Simmer it over medium heat for about 20 minutes until chicken is done.

Looks so delicious! Sounds so good with the red wine!
Your photos are soo perfect. Love cooking with wine ;-)
Sounds utterly delicious even w/out the bacon. Coq au Vin is one of my favorite chicken dishes and is is so rich in flavor I doubt the bacon was missed :-)
You had me at 'Quick'. I've just printed this recipe off! Thanks.
What a lovely take on the traditional coq au vin and beautifully photographed.

A scrumptious dish! So comforting.
Cheers,

For something 'quick' it certainly doesnt look like it skimps on flavour or any aspect of the classic coq au vin! Ive been wanting to try making this for a while and this looks truly great and so achievable. Awesome, thanks! :)
This is absolutely amazing, I love the photography too!
Quick, for this I didnt think that was possible. I bookmarked to make later. Thanks for sharing.
It looks delicious! I haven't made coq au vin in ages!
What a great recipe for Coq au Vin when you don't have the time or don't want to make the effort to cook it the long way. Looks equally satisfying and who would know you didn't spend days in the kitchen slaving over the stove.

Wowo that looks super super delicious.When i make them i marinate the meat in the wine for a day, love this frying idea too.
Gorgeous! It certainly doesn't look like a quick version...just delectable!
Those chicken drumsticks look good enough to eat on their own, but simmering them in wine makes them even better. Love the 'quick' part, too!
Wow your pictures get better and better every time I visit this looks wonderful!
The pics are perfect
anything cooked in wine has to be good!
Beautiful photos of a very delicious looking coq au vin
This looks truly wonderful Angie! I went to a B&B in central Missouri last fall and we had some wonderful Coq au Vin from a woman who was born in France and grew up in Sweden. It was so amazing. I have been wanting to give a try since then but haven't done it yet. I might try it with your recipe, sounds delicious!
It looks like a big dish of comfort to me...and the color from the Pinot Noir is so pretty.
I really great recipe.
You have some cool serving bowls. Great photography and presentation.
this definitely looks much quicker than when i last made it! :)
I just love how you have this plated up -- gorgeous!
This is wonderful and great that it gets done relatively quickly.
beautiful delicious looking platter Angie
regards
Love the rich flavor of this classic dish~
This looks divine!! The presentation of this dish is just beautiful. Angie, you are perfection!!! Blessings, Catherine xo
Angie, without you I would have never thought such a thing as a quick coq au vin was possible ;-) A very clever idea!
Love coq au vin, though you changed some of the elements, I'm sure it's still delicious. It looks yummy to me.
Authentic or not, it looks delicious!
Sounds delicious, and nice photo too. This reminds me that I haven't eaten this in a long while
Love the idea of a quick Co au Vin. My hubby loves this dish - now I need to make it soon. Thank you for the inspiration!!!
Could never say no to this!
Love the intense red colour of this chicken dish.
Angie....this looks so soul satisfying! And gorgeous photos! : )
Wow - this is absolutely STUNNING! I love that you removed the skin from the chicken...and drumsticks are one of my favorites. Vastly under-rated!
I just can't get over the color of this dish. It looks so rich and amazing.
A terrific quick version of coq au vin, excellent!
What a lovely meal :), Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters
Querida Angie this look absolutely amazing and special,BRAVO,HUGS HUGS.
I have not tasted Coq au Vin before, I should try cooking this just out of curiosity and moreover, your dish looks so delicious!
Another "WOW" dish from you Angie :) The recipe looks quite easy to follow, let me get a bottle of red wine first ;D
This is tempting Angie!
I made Coq au Vin once... It did not look this amazing nor this delicious!! :)
Hard to believe it's quick. Gorgeous color!
Angie-Love your take on this traditional French dish, with just the drumsticks from the chicken. That's my favorite part, as well.
So perfect with the lighter version of Pinot Noir instead of the dry red wine. Gorgeous photos, and presentation...as always! Buzzed you!!! (via foodbuzz)

Such a lovely, comforting dish! The nights here are starting to get a bit chilly and this would be absolutely perfect!
This looks absolutely delightful, Angie! These are my favorite kinds of meals to make as the weather starts to cool down. I can't wait to try your quick version!
what a fantastic way to simmer chicken legs! this looks so savory!
Looks delicious! I've been looking for a reason to finally make coq au vin, and you just gave it to me.
love your version, great idea to use chicken legs!!
I didn't know it was possible to make quick coq au vin, yeah! Rooster or hen, no matter, it's all about the chicken braised in wine, and you've represented that beautifully. I have to give this a try! Thanks Angie.
what nice recipe Angie!! gloria
Angie, the last time I made this dish, I fell totally in love with it. Seeing yours, I guess I just have to cook this again.
A quicker, healthier Coq au Vin is a great thing! Still bursting with flavor, I'll be making your version this fall :)
I've only had this at restaurants...I need to make it at home! Thank you for sharing your words and pictures, my friend. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. I'm enjoying your post with a big bowl of watermelon. Just perfect. Much love and many blessings from Austin!

I love this version, Angie. A wee bit easier but there is no sacrifice of flavor. Plus: it's just so pretty. I don't think I have ever seen a lovelier-looking coq au vin.
This is a dish that I've been wanting to make but haven't found the right recipe. Thanks!
