     Yield: 4 Servings

     8    Chicken drumsticks
          Salt & pepper
     3 tb A-P flour
     2 tb Canola oil
     1 sl Bacon; chopped
   1/2 c  Fine chopped carrot

          Chopped thyme to garnish

 Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust all
 over with 2 tablespoons of the flour. In a large
 cast-iron casserole, heat the oil. Add the chicken and
 cook over moderately high heat, turning, until golden,
 about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

 Add the bacon to the casserole and cook until crisp, 1
 to 2 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, mushrooms
 and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until
 golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brandy and cook
 until reduced by half, 1 minute. Stir in the tomato
 paste and the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour until
 incorporated. Add the wine, stock and thyme sprigs;
 bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pot and bring
 to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat, turning the
 chicken occasionally, until very tender, about 1 1/2
 hours. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

 Simmer the sauce until thickened and reduced by half,
 about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and
 discard the thyme sprigs. Return the chicken to the
 sauce and heat through. Garnish with chopped thyme and
 serve.

 Makes: 4 servings
