Traditional way of preparation used to last for 3 days, <\/strong>and is considered one of the complicated French dishes to prepare.<\/p>\nVersions of cooked rooster in wine<\/h2>\n
Everyone has their version for which they sat is the best. And the rooster too…<\/p>\n
From traditional, to modern and postmodern approach to preparation of such a dish.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Meat<\/h2>\n
In those various approaches, various meat <\/strong>was used, but, no matter the meat choice, the name of the dish remained unchanged. It doesn’t matter if you use chicken, or an old rooster, the dish is still called cooked rooster in wine.<\/strong><\/p>\nAccording to history and tradition, it was an old rooster that was used first.<\/p>\n
‘When the hair turns grey, <\/strong><\/p>\nMan becomes worthless’ <\/strong>(new folk song)<\/p>\nI guess it’s the same with the poultry…<\/p>\n
Then, in time, the recipe came over to hen, and then to chicken.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, those more avant-garde and richer came over to the Capon rooster<\/strong>.<\/p>\nCapon<\/strong> rooster is a young and castrated rooster<\/strong> with significantly tastier meat. This is the most expensive version of a cooked rooster in wine.<\/p>\nWine<\/h2>\n
Each of these versions of meat has its own wine types.<\/p>\n
A simplified recipe is mostly used nowadays, where, instead of a rooster, chicken is mostly used. That means that instead of red wine which contains more aromas and a richer taste, white wine is used for cooking.<\/p>\n
Today, red wine is believed to be too strong and that its flavor would be dominant in the dish over meat. In Alsace, <\/strong>famous Riesling is used. By the way, Alsace<\/strong> is set near the German border, so that explains the Riesling influence.<\/p>\n![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_41.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
What is important to know when preparing the original recipe?<\/h2>\n\n- The older<\/strong> the rooster<\/strong>, the richer<\/strong> the sauce<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- A dish with meat of marinated old rooster <\/strong>that spends the night in wine and spices is tastier, because it will make the meat softer and juicier.<\/li>\n
- It’s best to use the Burgundy wine, <\/strong>but a Pinot Noir is also a great substitute.<\/li>\n
- If you use chicken instead of rooster<\/strong>, then you should adjust the cooking time.<\/strong> So, the slow cooking for 6 hours is not an option anymore, because the meat will fall off the bones and disintegrate. It will still be tasty, but it won’t be the famous coq du vin.<\/li>\n
- According to the original recipe, <\/strong>whne you prepare the sauce and reach the moment when you should cook it for a long time in order to reduce it, you should add chicken blood. <\/strong>
\nYes, you read it well… there is blood in the original recipe as well… it’s just that it was too heavy for me, and I had to skip over that part this time… until I feel bold enough to try it. On the other hand, how can I possibly find clean, healthy blood? I wouldn’t risk with that, unless I have a 10 000 000 % checked source of chicken meat.<\/li>\n- Originally, the whole chicken is stewed, <\/strong>but you certainly can make it easier to yourself and cut it into smaller pieces. The preparation time reduces with that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Coq du vin from out table<\/h2>\n
I have to admit I mixed the traditional and the modern approach a bit. Although I sometimes feel like I live in a big village, I couldn’t exactly enjoy its products.<\/p>\n
And here is why…<\/p>\n
I tried everything I could remember for ten days in order to get a rooster, and nothing happened…. So I lowered my criterion to a young rooster… and was left empty-handed as well… just to finally be satisfied with chicken.<\/p>\n
I guess chicken is the most numerous on the market \ud83d\ude42 everyone is looking for chicken, so it must be why there is so much of it.<\/p>\n
Is it possible that everyone keeps their roosters to make their own coq du vin<\/strong>???<\/p>\nThis time our Chicken in wine is the famous Coq du Vin<\/h2>\n
The main ingredients of the chicken in wine recipe look like this… there is so much of it… I don’t get how it could be the dish made by the poor peasants.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The best selected vegetables.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_19.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
And the best selected meat.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_18.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
First step: I stewed mushrooms, pickled onion and bacon.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_26.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I left it on the side until I fry the meat in the same pan.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_8.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Look at the colors…<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_9.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I added cognac and flambéed it.<\/p>\n
This was the first flambéing in my cookery life. I was terrified.<\/p>\n
When meat was done and got its color I returned the mushrooms and dusted it with flour.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_27.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
I added the rest of the vegetables.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_28.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
And of course, adding some traditional seasons, and then, I stewing them.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_30.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
On the other side, in a separate dish, I fried liver with some onion.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_22.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Add celery and chicken broth. Stew it until the broth reduces.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
After it reduces, put everything in blender to make a homogenous mixture.<\/p>\n
I returned everything to the neglected pan.<\/p>\n
I added a liter of wine (no other liquids are added apart from wine) and the liver and celery paste I made.<\/p>\n
![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_31.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Mix it all, cover and leave our chicken in wine<\/strong> on the side to slowly cook. But not for long… because we said… it’s chicken, not a rooster.<\/p>\n![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_34.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
When chicken in wine <\/strong>is done, serve it and decorate with chives and coriander and serve while it’s warm with a glass of Burgundy wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Piletina](\"http:\/\/savourytrips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Piletina-u-vinu_42.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Chicken in wine<\/strong> is a dish with a completely different flavor than you would expect at the beginning of its preparation. It is all about the wine, so don’t hesitate to spend a lot and buy some more quality wine which will enrich this dish.<\/p>\nYou can eat it with burned to crisp croutons.<\/p>\n
