Coq Au Vin Blanc
As much as I love the classic coq au vin made using red wine, this whole pot roasted chicken made using white wine made a lovely change and was ridiculously easy to make. Inspired after seeing @nigellalawson coq au Riesling, which uses pieces rather than a whole chicken. I thought looked delicious so thought I’d make my version. You can use any white wine for this, but if you can use a medium dry white then do as it will create the most fantastic gravy.
The recipe
Coq Au Vin Blanc
Ingredients
Method
Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees.
Start by sautéing the onions and pancetta in a large casserole pot until soft. Add the garlic, stir and place the whole chicken on top, season and put into the oven without a lid for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and lift the chicken onto a plate. Add the flour to the onions and garlic, stir then add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and return the chicken to the pan. Roast without a lid for another 20 minutes. Now put the lid on or cover with foil and cook for 50 more minutes.
Serve with a creamy mashed potato and green veg. If you want to make things easier then add mangetout to the casserole 2 minutes before the end of cooking time.
