This guy is wild. There are plenty of other great YT chefs (Weissman, Not Another Cooking Show, etc.), but this is one of the only channels where EVERYTHING I make, makes it into my recipe book. Keep at it my man!
French guy here I’ve been following your channel for a little more than two now and I think the quality is getting constantly better, to the point it’s one of my top 3 channels for cooking on YT (and I watch a LOT of it lol) Also FAUT RETROUVER GASPARD LES GARS GASPARD T’ES OU???
I started cooking when I was young because I loved my dad’s food. He passed away when I was 14 and I just wanted to remake the things he cooked for us. His name was Kevin! Thanks for the shout out!
@@rodneypratt4324 Thank you. I am 30 now and I have come to the conclusion that losing a parent is a lot like losing a limb. You have to relearn how to get around in the world and it’s never 100% healed. You get those “phantom itches” every once in a while and have the thought to ask him about something or tell him something. But I know it is a natural part of life and that I am lucky to have had the time with him that I did. I hope you can say the same.
I've come to the point where I just hit the "LIKE" button before I even watch your videos. I know it's going to be educational, flavorful, and entertaining. I've learned a lot from you. I've never really followed your recipes to the letter- I follow your techniques, and you have made me better. I thought about sending you some brass knuckles just for fun, but I don't think your fridge could handle it. Funny, talented, and endowed with the gift of gab. You Sir, own the trifecta of entertainment.
I read your comment before I saw it in the video so when it came up, I really paid attention so I wouldn’t miss it. I still didn’t understand what she said! Lol
dude I followed this video the best that I could (couldn’t find pearl onions and my wife doesn’t eat bacon) and it still ended up being the best tasting dinner I think I’ve ever made. I’m gonna make this every week until I perfect it. Thanks!
Pearl onions can sometimes be found in the frozen section(easier to handle as they are already peeled), specialty food stores, I see them at wal-mart. Try Whole Foods or Central Market if in Texas, Sprouts, Fred Meyer, any number of grocery stores that sell wide variety of produce.
I've seen Coq Au Vin made with skinless chicken. But I find if you cook the chicken with the skin, braise the chicken and then remove it from the sauce after it's cooked and place it under a broiler until the skin gets crispy and place back in the sauce then serve. It tastes amazing.
@@Sniperboy5551 I've cooked this dish many times and I have found the skin still gets soft and rubbery even after braising while it cooks in the sauce. Broiling the chicken after cooking just adds that extra touch.
I worked at a company that had a corporate cafeteria headed by a professional chef. They made this dish every Friday because coq au vin was one of the company owner's favorite dishes.
If you never made this dish, you have got to do it. Just once. It''ll open up your arsenal to the wonderful world of braising. Nothing better with mash. Dayyymmmmm.
I also make Beef Goulash, almost the same recipe, but using chuck steak and smoked paprika (quite a bit, maybe a tbls, depends on your taste). Very delicious.
French here. I was ready to hate that recipe (as we do as French people) but I like the final result, looks legit and more importantly, looks delicious! Couple of little nit picks there's should be also be some cognac in this recipe, you usually deglaze with cognac after browning the meat and veggies. Also the best way to use the flour is to dust the chicken with it (like when making bourguignon) and brown it with the meat, it does two things. First it roasts the flour giving it a nutty flavour and then thickens the sauce. Oh and last thing try using a stewing hen if you can find it, it's usually 2.30hour cooking time, a you g chicken might dry out. But really good effort.
Thank you for restoring my faith in Coq au Vin. I used to be a flight attendant for United Airlines back in the 1980s and we served this dish repeatedly in stacked thermal trays on the back of a 737-100. It was during my drinking days and perhaps I was hungover, but just the smell of that mess as we boarded the aircraft and gravy all over my shoes during turbulence really turned me off to this meal. I hope to enjoy it again one day.
The thing I like about this is that you don't just say what to do but you say why as well which is important information. I'll definitely be making this soon!
Hey Sonny ! I cook. It's what I do. I've done Coq au Vin a few many times over the years. This one, YOURS, is truly the exact way to make it! True Perfection your's for this Classic Dish. Pro Note? Fry up that second batch of streaky bacon at the end, and sprinkle it over crunchy like on the finished product ! Crunchy and soft bacon ! I've NOTHING else to add to your Perfect Dish Sir !
LOL, Julia Child has been a favorite of mine for decades. Not only was she a great cook, she was hilarious and never took her mishaps seriously (unless imminent danger). You mimicked her voice quite well!🤗. The Coc Au Vin looks delicious. Maybe my daughter will make it for me. She’s the one who sent me this episode so you got a super recommendation!
@@derekboardman9995 I’ve also watched a wide assortment of cassoulet preparations, but I gotta say and with no judgment implied, take the full ride via Julia Child. It’ll take about 6 hours, that is, if you know what you’re doing, but it’ll be worth it.
@@Bootmahoy88 I'm not a professional chef, but I've been cooking for 40 years. The cassoulet I've been making is the best thing I've ever made. I use boneless chicken thighs, smoked beef sausage, bacon and Chardonay (I've used Pinot, but the Chardonay gives it a slightly sweeter taste). I watched Julia's video on it, and the time and effort she puts into it seems a little much to me.
Perfect. I've been looking to expand my repertoire of late. Did Steak Au Poivre last weekend and it was awesome. Already made my list for this dish Saturday. Thank you. Been cooking at home for 25 years and it's truly a passion of mine that continues to grow. It's probably my favorite thing to do (with my clothes on).
Made this recipe over the weekend. That Dutch oven was scraped clean by Sunday night. This is a *spectacular* recipe. Another slam dunk from this channel. Thank you, sir!
Last Thanksgiving I made Beef bourguignon and it was amazing. My wife of 30 years told me it was the best dish I ever made. That means, this Thanksgiving, I need something just as good, and this is it.
Best foodtuber. Love that he does his thing and hasnt started doing random collaborations with your Gugas and Joshua Weismanns, so tired of that format.
Made this! Some notes and questions: 1. The Chicken. I bought a pack of chicken quarters thinking it was just the thigh and drum, but there was a lot of rib or small bones attached that made it much harder to deal with. Next time will definitely buy them individually. I probably should watch another vid on separating them at the joint, but sheer force overcomes many obstacles. 2. The Marinade. My chicken came out SIGNIFICANTLY more purple than shown after 12hrs, I think the pinot noir I got was particularly dark or something. While visually striking it was still delicious so no worries there. 3. The Lardons. I'm American, at Publix the best I really see is bacon. I went with uncured unsmoked bacon, basically just sliced pork belly. Is that what lardons are, or are they cured and or smoked in some form? MIND WELL THE FAT AS YOU BROWN THE CHICKEN IN IT OW 4. Serving. I made this at 4am and cooked very slowly, by like 8:30 I just threw a potato in the microwave, smashed it up a bit on a plate and topped it with the chicken veggies and sauce since im an animal. Would probably be better with actually mashed potatoes or risotto. I could also imagine this as a sandwich, remove the chicken from bones and put on some french bread, top with the veggies, cup of the sauce like a french dip au vin
This is a trophy dish for me. I’ve been too nervous to try it-till I saw your method. It looks doable!! I kind of want to call my small town butcher and see if she will do rashers-lardons? for me. I’m feeing fancy!! I’ll let you know if I conquer my fear of the Coq!!!
When you mention preparing braised dishes the day before for best results, what do you do with the dish for that resting time? Fridge and reheat the next day? Slow covered simmer for 24hr? Love your content, thank you for the effort you guys put into the videos!
My brother learned to make this in france during his many visits. He made it during a family get together once. It is the single best meal I have ever eaten. Not sure what that says about me but it was other worldly good.
I like this guy. I modified the process a a little. I did the roux and chick stock early doors in a casserole so everything else could be dumped in as they were cooked in a separate frying pan - don't forget to reduce the wine! Fully agree about not deglazing carbonised pan residue.
I make mine the exact way,... I do add some curly parsley in the end to add a little bit earthiness - and a tinsy bit more when serving with a couple of crunchy sour dough croutons. This is amazing to serve to guests. Day 1: Bird in wine. Day 2. Cook. Day 3: Warm up and serve, with fresh parsley and croutons. You don't need a rooster... A "soup/mature" chicken works too. Normal young chicken works but you miss a little bit of that gamey funk... and a bit more solid textures (hence the wine bath.)
Sonny, I made this dish tonight for supper and it was great. Only one person thought the chicken, marinated overnight in red wine thyme and onion, then braised with all the other ingredients, had " not much taste to it". Everyone else loved it Thanks man.
YES, Gilbert IS a name in France. And I am shocked / touched that Sargent Gilbert looks quite like me, - curly moustache included. AND my name is GILBERT. I randomly checked out your channel and found my doppelgänger on your videos!
I know a French-born Gilbert! Alsace Region - little town named Mattstall, near Lembach, France. He was a forest worker by trade. The french pronunciation is a soft G...Jilber...no T on the end, of course. Jheelbear, is as close as I can get it spelled phoenetically. Cheers! Alway love your videos!
Two personal variations: 1: use pre-browned flour to thicken. Bake it in the oven until it smells of biscuits and keep a jar of it in the kitchen. 2: finishing the chicken with the flame of brandy before braising doesn't hurt this dish at all 😊
Sonny, Thank You for this. I just finished making this now. UNBELIVABLE!!!! FWIW I added a leek to the veg for a little more texture. Fantastic!! Thanks again
The secret is to reduce the wine by 50% the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight. The flavour changes and improves completely, no longer recognisable as wine. No need for stock or tomato paste, the only liquid you need is that wine, reduced by 50% the night before, then put it in the oven with the chicken for half an hour, then take it out and thicken it. Don't ask me why it works, don't ask me how it works, just try it. Search for Marco Pierre White's recipe for details, it tastes better than any other recipe.
@@specialalynn try both and see which tastes better, I tried a lot of different ones with stocks, tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, different ratios of everything etc. Wine on its own, reduced the night before tastes the best (and it's the easiest!)
Absolutely correct. The wine needs to be reduced and cooled before using as a marinade. Two or three bay leaves in the wine can be a good idea while it reduces. But if you miss this step, it’s incorrect. Overall, this recipe is a poor imitation.
Im definitely making this…its a recipe to indulge in once a year 😁 all that bacon juice, butter, salt, chicken skin/fat..all the stuff that makes it fabulous!
5:26 | yes, this. Definitely. Pans like those are too deep for steam to escape so it ends up allowing your protein to spring water or braise rather than frying. Also a really crowded pan will act the same since it will bring the temp down.
Awesome recipe as always. I cant wait to make this. You are truly a great chef. Marcus and you have real chemistry together. Once again, content that never fails to inform and entertain.
I made the beef stew recipe from your last video ,and let me tell you it was amazing! Thank you so much I didn't find a problem with searing in my Made In Dutch oven it worked wonderfully.
Sonny - Thanks so much for this video! Me and a good friend decided to try this out yesterday.... Followed your procedure step by step and.... it turned out AWESOME!!!!!! Added simple mashed potatoes and garlic bread.... What a FEAST!!!! We're trying to decided what TDCC recipe to try next! Very Best Regards!!!!!!!
I make this with lamb as well. I do it in the slow cooker. I prep everything the night before, then in the morning place it all in the slow cooker, and go to work. 8 hours later....dinner is ready.
This guy really can cook !. Makes it look easy and is entertaining. I would have been scared of coq a vin, but not now. Thanks, Vicki from Tennessee in the USA 🇱🇷🌹
For fryng chicken, Paul Bocuse passed on to us the act of not starting to roast on the skin but on the flesh of the chicken otherwise, the piece of meat shrink to much....and that is what we see on the video at 10:40. Autrement, merci pour la recette - excellente.
An old coworker of mine. Taught me this recipe. But he braised and browned the chicken first with some flour and butter with wine to sauce. With fresh oregano, onions, garlic
I tried Coq au vin several years ago and didn't care for it because all we could taste was the wine. I'm thinking I need to give it another go with your instructions for cooking it out a bit. Great video as always and loved the Julia Child impression!
Lucky you then! You have never had Coq au vin... This recipe is fool proof. As mentioned in the video... If you have the patience,... When done... let it cool down at room temp and into the fridge over night and reheat the next day (not to a BOIL!) Just reheat to "good to eat right away!" Make sure NOT to cook it AGAIN!
Your into hit me. In a good way. I’m no way near your skill, but my family loves my cooking, and my grandmother did once ask for my mash potato recipe. I laughed her off, but the truth is almost all of my recipes, ESPECIALLY my mashed potatoes, aren’t recipes at all. Everything I cook is based on how I’m feeling that day, and I’ve never made anything the EXACT same way twice. I love to tinker.
I use carrots to make my dog food. I used to slice them in rounds, but they always flew across the kitchen counter. Now I cut them similarly to yours, but longer, and they don't go running off the cutting board.
Great recipe! I do have a question: Why discard 80% of the bacon grease before adding the mushrooms in the pan? You added oil (and butter) a during a couple more stages later. Couldn't you have simply replaced the oil with some of that discarded bacon grease?
Definitely joining the permanent menu, because this dude, can cook. Great directions. I dig NOT deglazing burnt char into my sauces too. I only soaked the chicken pieces for 2hrs in the wine, thyme and onion and it came out stained as f*** 👍
Hands down, BEST cooking show on ScrewTube. Still don't know what that innocent lookiing refrigerator did to piss you off, but it must have had it coming!
I tried this recipe because I wanted to try French cooking. If I'm honest, this recipe is not my favorite. The chicken tasted too bland. However, I did enjoy making this recipe and I did learn a few things. Thank you and keep up the good work!
I'm not sure why I'm taking so many shots at Grandma recently lol
Fuck grandma, All my homies hate grandma 😤
As good as you are, your stock just went WAY up when you mentioned you don’t drink. Bravo! There is a shortage of us non-drinkers.

What I like about this guy is he gives realistic cooking times. None of this “brown the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes” bs, no it takes 10 min.
Wt about the oven temperature ?
@@BlindfoldedFox As a cook/friend once said to me ...350...everything is set to 350.....How long do I cook it Cec? ...Till its done.....
400-450 is usually better for most things, and most savory dishes are done in that range in restaurants in my experience.

You need to add the wine. It’s the only way to go here. Otherwise it’s just a deep chicken stock

As Chef Jean-Pierre says, “never use a wine that you wouldn’t drink.” You don’t have to spend a ton of money, but don’t just buy the cheapest bottle.
Going for the 6$ bottle instead of the 3$ bottle is more than enough IMO
After making this dish 3 times I agree that the wine actually matters a bit . Pinot noir is the way to go
I made this for Mothering Sunday
The family loved it. Thanks for making look so easy.

No need for stock or tomato paste, the only liquid you need is that wine, reduced by 50% the night before, then put it in the oven with the chicken for half an hour, then take it out and thicken it. Don't ask me why it works, don't ask me how it works, just try it. Search for Marco Pierre White's recipe for details, it tastes better than any other recipe.
I will use his recipe, not yours, thanks for the free advice
@@specialalynn try both and see which tastes better, I tried a lot of different ones with stocks, tomato puree, tinned tomatoes, different ratios of everything etc. Wine on its own, reduced the night before tastes the best (and it's the easiest!)
Absolutely correct. The wine needs to be reduced and cooled before using as a marinade. Two or three bay leaves in the wine can be a good idea while it reduces. But if you miss this step, it’s incorrect. Overall, this recipe is a poor imitation.
Thanks! I'll try it!
But when does it work? And who does it work?
The cut from Marcus taking a bite to the fridge kick was amazing.
Just the color of the sauce is divine, I can only imagine how it tastes!❤
Im definitely making this…its a recipe to indulge in once a year 😁 all that bacon juice, butter, salt, chicken skin/fat..all the stuff that makes it fabulous!
The crust on the chicken was insane. Bravo!
I am a Kitchen GOD! I made this and was able to wait until the next day, then reheat it slowly over 2.5 hours to have a most amazing meal.
5:26 | yes, this. Definitely. Pans like those are too deep for steam to escape so it ends up allowing your protein to spring water or braise rather than frying. Also a really crowded pan will act the same since it will bring the temp down.
Awesome recipe as always. I cant wait to make this. You are truly a great chef. Marcus and you have real chemistry together. Once again, content that never fails to inform and entertain.
Fissler Original-Pro rondeau is the only tool you need searing, braising owen duty...everything. It's really transformed my cooking.
I made the beef stew recipe from your last video ,and let me tell you it was amazing! Thank you so much I didn't find a problem with searing in my Made In Dutch oven it worked wonderfully.
Sonny - Thanks so much for this video! Me and a good friend decided to try this out yesterday.... Followed your procedure step by step and.... it turned out AWESOME!!!!!! Added simple mashed potatoes and garlic bread.... What a FEAST!!!! We're trying to decided what TDCC recipe to try next! Very Best Regards!!!!!!!
The butter wink!! It's my new favorite.
I don't know, but your Julia impression is the funniest ever! ❤❤❤
also totally agree with your comments about the pans and the difference between searing and braising...
Oh yeah... These old school recipes definitely hold up well and never really go out of style...
I've never eaten or made this recipe but it looks delicious. Can't wait to make it.
I make this with lamb as well. I do it in the slow cooker. I prep everything the night before, then in the morning place it all in the slow cooker, and go to work. 8 hours later....dinner is ready.
I'm from New Orleans and I cook... I learned things from this video. You rock!
Best cooking channel for sure. Love the shout out to Kevin
This guy really can cook !. Makes it look easy and is entertaining. I would have been scared of coq a vin, but not now. Thanks, Vicki from Tennessee in the USA 🇱🇷🌹
So nice to see one of your youtube heroes use the same cutting technique the you've discovered yourself years ago. #TeamOblique!
My name is not Kevin... GOSH! I love this channel. Please keep'em coming.
For fryng chicken, Paul Bocuse passed on to us the act of not starting to roast on the skin but on the flesh of the chicken otherwise, the piece of meat shrink to much....and that is what we see on the video at 10:40. Autrement, merci pour la recette - excellente.
Did it yesterday. I can now confirm this is insanely delicious!
Sir. Your winking while tossing butter is making me churn.
That is the BEST and most accurate quote of Julia Child I have ever heard.
Hey mate, hot tip: for us Celsius users, if you’re converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, just round up. No-one uses “176°C.” Just make it 180°C.
An old coworker of mine. Taught me this recipe. But he braised and browned the chicken first with some flour and butter with wine to sauce. With fresh oregano, onions, garlic
I've absolutely gotten an immaculate sear in my cheap lodge enameled cast iron dutch oven, without issue, numerous times.
I tried Coq au vin several years ago and didn't care for it because all we could taste was the wine. I'm thinking I need to give it another go with your instructions for cooking it out a bit. Great video as always and loved the Julia Child impression!
Lucky you then! You have never had Coq au vin... This recipe is fool proof. As mentioned in the video... If you have the patience,... When done... let it cool down at room temp and into the fridge over night and reheat the next day (not to a BOIL!) Just reheat to "good to eat right away!" Make sure NOT to cook it AGAIN!
Your into hit me. In a good way. I’m no way near your skill, but my family loves my cooking, and my grandmother did once ask for my mash potato recipe. I laughed her off, but the truth is almost all of my recipes, ESPECIALLY my mashed potatoes, aren’t recipes at all. Everything I cook is based on how I’m feeling that day, and I’ve never made anything the EXACT same way twice. I love to tinker.
I will be making this soon. I’ve tried so many new things because of this channel. Thanks Sonny
I use carrots to make my dog food. I used to slice them in rounds, but they always flew across the kitchen counter. Now I cut them similarly to yours, but longer, and they don't go running off the cutting board.
THE HUMONGOUS FUNGUS! absolutely awesome
Great recipe! I do have a question: Why discard 80% of the bacon grease before adding the mushrooms in the pan? You added oil (and butter) a during a couple more stages later. Couldn't you have simply replaced the oil with some of that discarded bacon grease?
Your cooking is TOP NOTCH! Sir! But I gotta say, I enjoy your sense of humor as much as your food. By the way, PNW Mushrooms are incredible.
I made a chunk roast yesterday, and because of you I put worceshire and Vegemite in it, was awesome!
The Julia Child quote made this dish even better. Can't make this one without that advice.
Ahhh the rangiri style of vegetable cutting. A man of culture
Made it over the weekend and served it with cauliflower mashed potatoes. Excellent
My brother cooked and showed me how to cook this great dinner.... acouple of years ago.... You're doing a great job.
Everything you make is perfection. Thanks.
Definitely joining the permanent menu, because this dude, can cook. Great directions. I dig NOT deglazing burnt char into my sauces too. I only soaked the chicken pieces for 2hrs in the wine, thyme and onion and it came out stained as f*** 👍
Sargeant Gilbert translates to Sergent Gilbert in French.
Gilbert is a french name. Buffalo Sabres great Gilbert Perreault was a star in the 70s.
La french connection tabarslac
Hands down, BEST cooking show on ScrewTube. Still don't know what that innocent lookiing refrigerator did to piss you off, but it must have had it coming!
I like that you can make this meal a day ahead of time. Make mashed potatoes, buy some great dinner buns, a dessert, and everything is covered!
Dude. This looks awesome. I’m going to make this for my wife tomorrow. Can’t wait!!
Never had this dish. Been wanting to try it. This recipe motivated me to make it!!! Going to find some thick cut beef bacon and it’s on!!!!!!
Love this guy! Everything he makes tastes phenomenally great!!
I tried this recipe because I wanted to try French cooking. If I'm honest, this recipe is not my favorite. The chicken tasted too bland. However, I did enjoy making this recipe and I did learn a few things. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Picked up some great tips from this video particularly the one about not searing meat in those types of pans, thank you!!
Dude is smashing it with all the classics. Made your stroganoff recently and it was decadent!
My god that looks absolutely amazing.
Thanks dude for making this video 😁
This recipe 's my dad's go to dish💯
I just love it
