Coq au Vin

my parents are coming over this weekend  for dinner.  this evening is the preparation of coq au vin.  chicken legs and thighs (attached) are submersed in  red wine, carrots, onion, celery, garlic and bouquet garni.

these are the steps to making Coq au Vin.

 saute chicken in olive oil.

 brown the vegetables.

and the bacon.

and the mushrooms.

add in the pearl onions.

and there you have it!

Coq au Vin actually doesn't smell good at first but as it develops it becomes more fragrant.  i added 1 tbsp of dark unsweetend cocoa powder.
