Ingredients

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs and drumsticks) - 7.7 dash
Salt and pepper to taste - 3.6 lb
1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 4.1 cm
4 slices bacon, chopped - 8.1 drop
1 large onion, chopped - 6.9 pt
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced - 1.3 qt
2 cloves garlic, minced - 3.1 quarter
1 cup dry red wine (Burgundy or Pinot Noir) - 7.4 jar
1 cup chicken broth - 5.6 bag
1 teaspoon dried thyme - 7.8 to taste

Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a large bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the pot.

Step 3

Add the chicken to the pot in batches, browning on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

Add the onions and mushrooms to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the red wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the chicken and bacon to the pot. Add the thyme and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce until it has thickened slightly, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the pot and heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
