Pinterest Pledge {recipe}

Jeff and I are not huge chicken eaters but we do like dark meat, thighs in particular. I'm also a fan of Riesling wine and Jeff can tolerate it more than most wines. When I found this recipe on Pinterest I had to try it out. I'm sure you've heard of Coq Au Vin which uses red wine. I don't care for red wine. I used to enjoy Chardonnay or a nice Zinfandel but these days I'm strictly a Riesling girl. This recipe was very, very easy and I loved every ingredient so no substitutions needed (except I went all thighs and no drums).

In the picture above it kind of looks like the chicken has the skin on it but I did bone in, skinless. I know my pictures don't look that appetizing but this was a fantastic meal. I also made some roasted green beans (and I just now realized I forgot to add the Parmesan cheese at the end--they were still delicious!) from a blog. 

I'm not sure if it's supposed to have that much liquid by the time the dish finished cooking but the instructions didn't say anything about a thickening agent. I soaked the luscious broth onto a yummy croissant.

It was really fantastic and I'll make this at least once a month when I feel like being fancy and naughty. Jeff loved it and the house smelled divine. You can't really go wrong with any dish that calls for butter and bacon.
