![]() I also used red wine instead of white and frozen chicken breast tenders instead of thighs. I used 2 Tbsp avocado oil and 2 Tbsp butter with some Lawry’s seasoned salt for the “bacon fat”. Due to limited shopping, I did not have any bacon. I chose this one because it looked easy enough and I wanted to use my Instant Pot! I have never made Coq au Vin, so this was my first attempt. I am doing an at-home Epcot “World Showcase” tour during this COVID-19 quarantine and needed a recipe from France. Never have I had such an annoying time whilst cooking anything! I LOVE creating and embellishing upon great old world recipes and making them my own. This has been a torturous task in making. Nothing is worded correctly, there is no prep time given, and its just badly put together. this is the most poorly put together at home cooking recipe I have ever seen. or that you dont wish to spend hours making. My advice, do not waste your time if you are looking for something with a good flavor to it. seriously? Who gave this more than one star? It was palateble, but EXTREMELY bland (and yes, I followed the recipe to the letter). Will put this on my "keeper" list.Īfter eating this travesty. Had some crusty bread to soak up the gravy too and the rest of the white wine. My husband who is not a big fan of chicken loved it. I used wild mushrooms I had just picked that day: Lobster mushrooms (hypomyces lactiflourum) and Yellow Brittlegills (Russula Claraflava), I also used green onions from the garden instead of shallots but followed everything else to the letter, although times I used common sense not worrying too much about that save for the time in the Instant Pot which I followed exactly. The time in the Instant Pot was minimal compared to all the outside work. Allow yourself some time for prepping vegetables, browning chicken, reducing marinade and then making sauce - whew! That took up nearly an hour by itself. What was a bit of a surprise is the length of time in out of pot cooking. While the verbiage is clunky and odd, any cook should be able to figure out what is meant. Takes a long time to prepare, especially if need to do pan cook chicken in batches. Next time I may try using chanterelles, but the shiitakes are delicious. ![]() I just watched the video and think i heard that it is good to keep some of the root intact, so i'll do that next time. ![]() Also, in the past the shallots stayed in tact, this time they didn't. i used kosher salt and it was tasted much (too) saltier. I've made this a few times now, and love it! Something happened this last time that was different though. I'd make this again but not nearly as often as traditional Coq Au Vin. Not like that's the worst thing, but some parts of this recepie felt like more work than it's worth. A few issues though, you can tell this is a recepie that's tailored around the instant pot. It's white wine, not red, so it will be more subtle, but it's a nice looking Sunday dinner, and over garlic mashed potatoes makes a good stick-to-your-ribs meal to end off the weekend. We just weren't sure about how large the pieces were supposed to end up, and ours never got crispy, which I find happens when I use thicker cut. I'm confused by the reviews commenting on how convoluted the instructions are, as we found everything clear and easy to follow - other than the bacon. ![]() The instant pot is a good way to finish the boring part (braising) in a hurry, and I agree that using a separate pan to do the sauté as opposed to the instant pot makes everything simpler and more flavourful. This was lovely and very straightforward. ![]()
