Coq au Vin is a traditional French dish made with chicken cooked in red wine, bacon, mushrooms, and onions. The dish is typically served with boiled potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the rich, flavorful sauce. The chicken is first seared in a hot pan to create a crust, then simmered in the wine and aromatic vegetable mixture until tender. The red wine and bacon give the dish a savory, slightly smoky flavor, while the mushrooms add a meaty texture and depth of flavor. Coq au Vin is a classic example of French comfort food, and is often served in cozy bistros and taverns throughout the country.
