Coq au vin

Coq au vin is a fancy French dish made with chicken, mushrooms, bacon, and wine.

First, you take a big pot and heat up some butter. Then you put the chicken, bacon, and mushrooms in the pot and cook them until they get nice and brown.

Next, you pour some red wine into the pot and let it cook for a while so the chicken can soak up all the yummy wine flavor.

Finally, you add some other tasty things like chicken broth, garlic, onions, and thyme and let it simmer for a long time until the chicken is cooked all the way through.

People like to eat coq au vin with some bread or mashed potatoes to soak up all the extra tasty sauce. It's a very special dish that takes a lot of time and effort to make, but it's really delicious and fancy.
