How To Make coq au vin -- chicken in wine (sallye)
-
1Lightly rinse the chicken under cool running water. Add the nutmeg and salt to the 1/2 cup of flour and dredge the chicken in it. Shake off any loose flour. Place 6 tablespoons olive oil in heavy skillet and heat on medium high. Cook the chicken in the olive oil until brown on both sides and transfer to a covered casserole dish. Set aside. Saute the celery and onions in the same skillet until golden brown. Stir in the next 5 ingredients and mix well for one or two minutes, scraping skillet bottom with wooden spoon to deglaze. Add this mixture to casserole dish with chicken. Stick cloves into one of the pearl onions. Add that onion, the mushrooms and balance of the onions to chicken mixture. Pour the brandy into the dish and carefully ignite it. Be sure not to ignite close to flammable materials. Once it has burned off, add 1 C. of the wine, cover and cook in a preheated oven of 350º F for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven and set aside. Blend 1-1/2 tablespoons flour with the remaining ¼ cup. of wine, stir into the liquid in the casserole and mix thoroughly. Return covered dish to oven for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
