Coq au Riesling
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 4 chicken drumsticks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Riesling wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs and drumsticks with salt and pepper, then dust with 2 tablespoons of flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in the Riesling wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and keep warm. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the cooking liquid until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the pot and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve the Coq au Riesling hot with crusty bread or over cooked egg noodles.
Coq au Riesling is a classic French dish originating from the Alsace region. This flavorful dish features chicken braised in Riesling wine, along with mushrooms, onions, and herbs. The dish is believed to have been created as a variation of the traditional Coq au Vin, substituting the Burgundy wine with the local Riesling. Renowned chefs like Paul Bocuse and Julia Child have popularized this dish, adding their own unique twists. Today, the best versions of Coq au Riesling can be found in Alsace, where the dish is often served with buttered noodles or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. The key to a perfect Coq au Riesling lies in using high-quality Riesling wine and allowing the chicken to simmer until tender, resulting in a rich and aromatic flavor. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate bacon or cream into the recipe, adding depth to the dish.
