Coq au vin is a French dish of chicken braised with wine, lardons (or bacon), mushrooms and pearl onions. More traditional versions of coq au vin have the sauce thickened with rooster blood at the end of cooking - yeesh! You will be pleased to know that I did not thicken my sauce this way!
Browning the bacon, chicken and vegetables briefly before adding them to the crock pot creates deep rich flavors in both the chicken and sauce. Serve with a crusty baguette.
