Categories: Poultry, Wine, Herbs, Vegetables, Booze
Yield: 4 Servings
8 Chicken drumsticks
Salt & pepper
3 tb A-P flour
2 tb Canola oil
1 sl Bacon; chopped
1/2 c Carrot; finely chopped
1/2 c Onion; finely chopped
1/2 c Celery; finely chopped
1 1/2 c Mushrooms; chopped
2 cl Garlic; thin sliced
1/2 c Brandy
1 tb Tomato paste
750 ml Dry red wine
1 c Chicken stock
2 Thyme sprigs; plus:
Thyme; chopped, for garnish
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust all over with 2 tb
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 tb 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.
