Coq au Vin – Chicken Braised in Red Wine & Vegetables

If I was a chicken and I had to choose my own fate by giving up my body parts for human consumption, I would want my legs and thighs to be braised in red wine and served over savory mashed potatoes. Im convinced that this classical preparation would represent my personal love for fine food and wine at a reasonable cost. I can honestly say that I love chicken; I love everything about the chicken. Look at the ridiculous way the rooster struts around the yard like a young Mick Jagger - pure comedy! How about eggs? I love eggs from my head down to my legs.
