Clean chicken removing veins and fat. Dust chicken in flour with salt and pepper. Brown chicken in EVOO. Once browned, remove from pan and put aside.

Add tomato paste, thyme, rosemary and pepper stirring 2 minutes. Add wine and water, bring to boil. Return chicken to pot, then cover tightly and braise in oven, turning once after 1 hour.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is good for a rainy Sunday when you have about 3 hours to hang around. Jeff enjoys watching a movie and smelling the aroma as this slowly cooks. I took the recipe for a beef roast and just kept adjusting it until I got it right. The result ended up being close to Coq au Vin. I use my Le Creuset dutch oven to cook this slowly and seal in the flavor.
