"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.
In a Dutch oven heat the olive oil over medium high heat. In small batches brown the chicken on both sides. Place on a plate and set aside. Add the bacon and onions to the pan and fry until the onions are translucent. Add mushroom and garlic and cook an additional 5 minutes. (You should smell the garlic at this point) Transfer this to a plate and set aside. In the same pan melt butter and add flour to make a roux. Cook until it is a rich golden brown. Whisk in the wine and stock, deglazing the pan as you do this. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme and bay leaf. Return the chicken to the pan, place in the preheated oven and cook for 30-45 minutes.

After 45 minutes add back in the bacon and mushroom mixture. Cook an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve over hot noodles.

Personal Notes:
Coq Au Vin actually translates to Chicken with Wine. If you feel the alcohol does not cook out and you are a non drinker you can substitute more stock. However; if you do this it will not have the same rich burgandy flavor.

When I served this I used egg noodles, you could serve it with smashed potatoes as well.
