    **RECIPE, SERVES 4**
    12 oz (350g) bacon (ideally slab bacon)
    6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 1.5-2 lbs (0.7-1 kg)
    flour (a big pinch)
    1 oz (30g) dried mushrooms
    1 tbsp (15 ml) tomato paste
    1 cup (250 ml) red wine
    1-2 cups (250-500 ml) chicken stock or water
    1-2 teaspoons Herbes de Provence (or any combination of dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc)
    1 cup frozen peeled pearl onions (I have no idea what you want to call that in metric)
    pepper
    salt
    vinegar
    12 oz (350g) dried egg noodles
    1 tbsp (15g) butter
    fresh parsley or tarragon for garnish
    Cut the bacon into chunks, ideally big bite-size chunks from a piece of slab bacon. Put it into a large, cold pan with a lid, then turn the heat on medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy - up to a half hour if you've got thick chunks.
    Coat the chicken thighs in a dusting of flour.
    Break up and very large chunks of the dried mushrooms, accounting for the fact that they'll double in size when rehydrated. (Be warned that some dried mushrooms will have some little worms in them. Seriously. Don't freak out, it's normal, they won't hurt anything, but ideally take them out.) Follow the steeping and filtering instructions on the package if you want to make sure there won't be any grains of sand on them, but I don't care.
    If you want to take some of the bacon fat out, fish out the bacon with the slotted spoon and pour of some of the fat. I leave it in, and just push the bacon over to the side. Fry the chicken thighs in the bacon fat until brown on both sides. Make a well in the center and squeeze in the tomato paste. Fry it until it's about to burn, then deglaze with the red wine.
    Pour in enough water or stock to almost cover the chicken. Put in the dried mushrooms, dried herbs, some pepper, and a pinch of salt (assuming you aren't using salt pork like I do). Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
    After about a half hour, consider removing the lid if the sauce is looking too loose to you. When the sauce is reduced to your desired thickness and the chicken is as soft as you want it, stir in the frozen onions and let them thaw. When they're ready, taste the sauce for seasoning, and add any additional salt it needs. Also drop in a splash of any vinegar. Take care to not break up the chicken as you stir in the final seasoning.
    Meanwhile, boil your egg noodles in salted water per the package instructions, drain, put the butter in with them and let it melt. Right before serving, tear some fresh parsley or tarragon into the noodles and stir to combine.

    Q: What if I don't eat bacon?
    A: A phenomenal replacement for bacon in almost any recipe is duck prosciutto. I see that it's available at several halal and kosher stores online. Great stuff.
    Q: What if I don't want to use wine?
    A: I normally recommend replacing it with water/stock spiked with balsamic vinegar (about 1 part vinegar to 6 parts water/stock). That might make this particular dish taste weirdly Italian instead of French, but is that necessarily a bad thing? You could also use a cup of purple grape juice spiked with maybe a teaspoon of vinegar (any vinegar). Grape juice could be a little too sweet, so maybe start with less than a cup and add some more at the end to taste. You'll def need the vinegar, regardless, but my recipe calls for some vinegar at the end anyway.
    Q: Isn't coq au vin traditionally dependent on the fond you get from browning the chicken, browning the bacon, browning the mushrooms, and browning the onions?
    A: Yep, but as I said, this is a streamlined version that takes less time and dirties fewer dishes. I think using dried mushrooms more than makes up for the lack of mushroom fond - dried mushrooms are extremely strong. And like I said about the onions, by the time they got covered in sauce, I think they tasted virtually the same as if you'd browned them in a pan. But if you want to try it the traditional way, go for it!
    Q: Wait, is your new kitchen done already?
    A: Nope, I shot four weeks worth of recipes before the demolition.

      Orlando Lazar bro literally what you said is irrelevant as a response to my statement. Even if your parent or grandparent had given you sips and they produce alcoholic beverages, it does not change the ideal culture which is a view point of the general public. There were more people who voted for a person in power that decided the age of drinking in a region. If you differ from that viewpoint then it does not mean that the ideal culture of the public is somehow different.

    Adam is quickly becoming my favorite youtube chef, along with Chef John. Don't get me wrong, I love other chefs, like Babish for example, but I feel like Adam is closer to how common people actually cook. Common people like me, who don't have time to try complicated methods, money to buy expensive stuff, or the will or skill to the most complex recipes. The Babish or Weissman version of this recipe would probably feature stuff like black garlic made over a month with a dehydrator or a series of many steps to build layers of flavor. And don't get me wrong, that would probably be delicious, maybe even better than Adam's version. But I'm much more likely to try a recipe that's quick, good, cheap and easy to make, and that's Adam's.

    • @pablerarav9016
      @pablerarav9016 4 роки тому +109

      Yeah, I've only been able to try a couple of Babish's recipes. Love Andy, but the recipes always seem to require fancy kitchenware that nobody has. Ragusea's recipes are usually idiot proof - although my Italian meringue did split and weep into the cake. But I'm never making bolognese without chicken livers or, better than bouillon, or white wine again.

If I'm going to impress my mom or girlfriend, I'm going with Bruno Albouze and cook some motherfucking tournedos with pepper sauce and chanterelle. That sexy french fuck takes it to the next level and while flambéing your sauce with cognac is completely unnecessary, it feels and looks really fucking cool. If I'm gonna grub on a Friday night with the homies, I'm going with Adam. I think both types of channels fulfill their purposes and you can enjoy both

    - You're pragmatic, so you always take into account the chore that it means to soil an extra pan and you also remove negligible "fancy" steps from recipes. Exactly what I look for!
    - You take into account the science behind cooking, which adds a lot of credibility to your videos. Because cooking resides in a realm between science and tradition, there's too many myths lying around and it's nice for me to know you don't cook based on myth.

    What timing! ... and, Lauren's comment about a cottage in the French countryside is so apt.
    A friend his rented a small house in the south of France, and some of us are giving her a "Bon Voyage" dinner. I'm in charge of the menu, and just yesterday, I decided on Coq au Vin. (I don't want to spend several days, of my already-fading youth, preparing Cassoulet.) I like the idea of the concentrated flavor of dried mushrooms, although I might give them a "brush" for grit. And, I like salt pork, as opposed to regular bacon, or Pancetta. Thanks.

  • @xxsosbrigadexx12
    @xxsosbrigadexx12 3 роки тому +4

    I tried this at home, it was amazing, came here to the comments say that rice vinegar is SUPER important, arguably the most important additional ingredient. Without it, the sauce is very musky, heavy and thick and you don't quite taste the red wine. Really loved this, Adam is definitely my go-to UA-cam chef because of how accessible he makes traditional fancy dishes for us common folk.
    EDIT: some other things I adjusted- I blanched the bacon per the Julia Child method because my SO doesn't care for bacon, and I think it made a big difference in maintaining flavor but getting rid of too much salt. I also only used a 1/2 oz of dried mushrooms rather than a full oz (for six small-ish chicken thighs), mushroom can be a very overpowering flavor.

    I have to say I absolutely love this recipe. The coq au vin recipe my family has been using since forever doesn't hold a candle to this. No flabby skin, no bone fragments in the sauce, no dried-out breast meat but all the same flavor and it takes way less work and time.
    Also, if you don't like the skin on the bacon, cut it off before chopping your bacon cubes and throw the whole strip of skin in. That way it can cook out and you can fish it out before eating.

      The second time I failed because I got the same examiner and maybe my face gave away that I thought he was a bit...

    I saw that you were struggling with the focus a bit.
    Just a suggestion:
    Since you are using a tripod. switch from autofocus to manual focus and dial in the focus on the plate or whatever.
    You can then mark the table with tape or something so you can see where the focus is at.
    This will mean that you will have to refocus every time you move your camera for a different angle and yeah it might eat at your time but the consistent and sharp focus, I believe, will be worth it.
    And besides, after a while you will develop a sense for where the focus is on your camera and this process will become second nature.
    Love the content otherwise. Keep it up.
