Coq au Vin is a rustic French dish made by braising chicken—traditionally an older rooster—in red wine with garlic, onions, carrots, mushrooms, herbs (like thyme and bay leaf), and sometimes bacon or pancetta. Originating in rural Burgundy (Bourgogne), this slow-cooked dish was once considered peasant food, using wine to tenderize tough meat, but it has since become a staple of French bistro cooking. The long braise develops rich flavors, and the sauce is often thickened with a touch of flour or butter. It’s commonly served with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or buttered noodles. Each region has its own variation, such as Coq au Riesling, made with white wine from Alsace.
