Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

3 tbsp Olive oil

60g Butter

250g piece smoked bacon lardons

1 tsp thyme leaves

1 whole free-range chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces

2 tbsp seasoned plain flour

8 garlic cloves

1 shallot, quartered

1 red onion, chopped

750ml Red wine

3 tbsp plain flour

TO SERVE

boiled or mashed potates

crusty bread

Directions

Heat the oil and half of the butter in a large saucepan and add the bacon and thyme.

Roll the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour. Add them to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until the chicken is golden.

Rub the garlic cloves between your hands to break the skin, then add them to the pan

Add the shallot and onion.

Pour in the wine and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer for 40 minutes to an hour, until the chicken starts to fall off the bone.

Carefully remove the chicken, bacon and vegetables with a strainer and transfer them to a serving dish. Return the juices to the heat.

Knead the flour into the remaining butter and add this to the pan, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Pour over the chicken and serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and good bread.

Very Very tasty! (I imagine that hsa something to do with the amount of wine in it!) I did this recipe with rabbit and it was really easy and most delish.

Good recipe, but if you can find one, a rooster makes a better dish. Go to a live poultry market or a poultry shop and ask. The older and firmer meat cooks up richer.
My recipe uses salt pork (which is not smoked) rather than bacon, but I also use bacon for the joy of it sometimes.
