Ingredients: 0.5 lb bacon; 2 bay leaves; 2 Tbsp butter; 0.5 lb button mushrooms; 3 lbs chicken thighs and legs; 2 cups chicken stock; 6 servings parsley; 6 garlic cloves; 6 servings several parsley sprigs; 20 large pearl onions; 2 cups red wine; 6 servings salt and pepper; 6 servings several thyme sprigs

This classic French coq au vin brings together chicken thighs and legs, bacon, pearl onions, and mushrooms, all braised in red wine and chicken stock. The sauce gets a final reduction until it's thick and coats the chicken beautifully. While it tastes like a dish that took all day, it comes together in under an hour of active cooking.
