I was super excited to tackle this recipe, as I’ve never had
Coq au Vin. And once again, Rachel comes
through. The flavors in this dish are
rich and savory with a delicious hint of smoky goodness. With temperatures in the 30’s, here in
Nevada, I was glad to be able to cook these skewers on the cook top in my
cast-iron grill pan. I do recommend a
splatter guard as these lovely skewers spit and spatter. All the ingredients are readily available in
my area except lardons (extra thick smoky bacon). I wonder if I can buy lardons online.
I happened to be in
Whole Foods looking for a few things and decided to get the organic chicken
legs. Having never boned chicken legs
before, I think the butcher must have sensed my fear, he offered to bone them
for me. I was thrilled. Brought them home and set them to
marinade. Oh the wonderful smells coming
from the onion, garlic and wine soaked chicken.
Once the skewers were assembled the grilling began. Meanwhile I prepared the wine sauce. And several minutes later they were ready to
devour. And devour I did! This one gets
4 stars.
