The secret ingredient I added at the end, increases the richness, though it's still hard to tell exactly what it is. The taste tester couldn't figure it out. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

Hey man, use that secret ingredient in chili too! I use dutch process cocoa powder personally, but I'm certain the cocoa butter would be welcome.

Lucinda, You just gave me an idea, I'm going to pretend to be making a video and have my grandson " taste test " for vegetables. He won't eat them otherwise but, if I tell him it's for a video I think he will . 😊

I just came here to tell you that your channel became my favorite Channel on youtube for making recipes and recreating them at home. Not only do you make it doable for people at home, the explanation of how and why's is really what helps homecooks get better at cooking. This dish is one that i would really want to make. So my sunday is basically gone now, thank you 😂

My wife and I are vacationing in Tuscany. Couldn’t miss my Thursday not so guilty pleasure. And to my surprise, a classic French dish. Life is more than good. Keep up the amazing work Jim and Tara. Bravo🇭🇺

The Italian version is called Gadduzzu ‘Mbriacu (Drunken rooster). Cheers from California, USA and wishing I were in Tuscany.

I made this today. Dear Lord, amazing! I saw this video randomly yesterday and tomorrow I have a friendly dinner and according to the written recipe, is better to prepare the day before so it has time to develop flavor to the fullest! I trusted the process and added a little chocolate and turned out AMAZING. The only difference is that I did not use fresh thyme, i had only dried, and that I had to add extra olive oil after the bacon, because my bacon did not had much fat to give..perhaps that is because of the percentage of fat on each brand. And I live in Greece so maybe is really different. Other than that, i highly suggest you follow exactly the steps, and the result will not dissapoint you. Greetings from Greece!

if you find its a little to salty when you reduce it add half a peeled large potato in, and take it out once reduced. It will absorb some of the salt

Fellow Long Islander here who just found your Channel. That looks great, thanks for the video!

Made this recipe tonight for my wife and kid. Everyone enjoyed it very much and had a wonderful evening at the dinnertable with a glass of wine. Thanks for the inspiration! Greetings from the Netherlands.

the father & son interaction is the best part of the video

James is growing into a wonderful young man. What a wonderful rich recipe. I would never think of placing a 1/2 ounce of chocolate into the sauce. Thank you for the recipe and look forward to making it. Have an awesome day.

This dish is much more than the sum of its modest parts. It's one of those cases where someone with limited culinary skill can seem like a gourmet and really impress people.

I love the juxtaposition of the French recipe with the plaid shirt and the plaid chair in the background. This is one of the things that makes your channel special.

This dude just made a classical French meal with French words but made it so American and easy. This is the only video I had to watch and subscribed immediately. Makes a tough dish for the un trained very easy

I see Julia Child instructs to cut bacon in lardons and simmer in 2quarts of water for 10 mins, rinse in cold water, pat dry. Sauté the bacon in hot butter until very lightly brown…. Ensuring less salt in the dish - “Mastering the art of French cooking”

You really shouldn't be. Skimming the fat is silly and accomplishes nothing, "power" reducing the sauce the way he did is foolish considering how worried he is about burning things; especially considering he could have just thickened it with a corn starch or a roux which would have produced a greater yield and a much thicker sauce. He burns his pearl onions and then cooks the mushrooms in the same pot then adds the onions back in, when he could have saved himself a bunch of hassle by just doing the mushrooms first, then dropping the thawed pearl onions in. He did the same thing with his stock and deglazing the pan... just unnecessary work.

Great show! Gonna do the recipe. I first heard of that recipe from the movie "Donnie Brosco". James is THE MAN. This kid loves food and loves workin with his Dad. The whole family is great together! Y'all make me want to cook!! Keep it up!!

James is a no-nonsense reviewer. He keeps you on your toes. Fantastic. Maybe we could have a "James' score" for future recipes. :)

French here!! Congrats for using chocolate!! In my family we use to eat coq au vin with tagliatelle pasta or boiled potatoes ! You can cut the garlic to half the portion here.

I have a question for you, Frenchman. I've heard about your hot chocolate over there being absolutely wonderful, do you actually just melt chocolate, how is it done?

@ren2704

7 ай бұрын

@@vulgarprophet2689 Hello. It depends if you use cacao powder or real chocolate. If you use cacao powder you can start to heat your milk up and when it starting to be hot (not boiling) you can mix the powder (if it's too cold you will get chunks). If you use real chocolate, cut it into small pieces as much as you like and then you put them in a cup and you add hot milk and then you mix it with a spoon until you reach a smooth texture. You can do it in the pot of milk as well but off heat of course. Using real dark chocolate is way better then the powder of course. Please note that if you use plant based milks, the flavour will be different but mixing a third of your (oat or cow) milk with hazelnut milk will give a very nice nutella style flavour without it being too overwhelming.

Jim & Tara, this recipe looks fabulous. Thanks.

take a shot every time Jim says fond

Big yes to the food processor! We pulse until the veg are so small, they melt into our Bolognese sauce. I'm going to make this soon, it's been on my "to do" list for years and yours looks amazing.

I must have hit my head during this because I could swear you said fond!

Loved this recipe! Definitely going to try it. Winter is on its way and your dishes have been hearty, rustic and perfect for the cold days ahead! Thank you again!

Absolutely love your scattershot approach to the recipes. You understand and unapologetically acknowledge that this is home cooking and you can sort of flavor it as you please as long as you get the base technique right

Looks great! I'm always looking for recipes for cooler weather and this will go into my rotation. Thanks, S&F team.

Videos are always done professionally. I like that you always give options to add or reduce ingredients. Nice Job.

Coq au vin is my favorite chicken recipe of all time! I have tried 8-9 recipes that I have found and my favorite is the tried and true food wishes w chef John with his 3x fond technique which I love love love. I need to try this recipe now! Especially since you said the word fond 😅

OMG!!! I made this yesterday for dinner. It was fantastic. I have wanted to make this for years. I have all the cookbooks including Julia's. When you READ the recipes it can be so overpowering I kept putting it off. Then as usual you come along and take the scare out of cooking. So easy to follow and presented with options that allow us to decide some ingredients. I followed your recipe exactly. Thank you again!!!

I love your videos. You and your family are so helpful. Thank you.

First video of your channel I've come across. Great content! From the video quality to the simple direction easy to follow. Subscribed

I love your show. Very informative and your family is delightful.

I enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you. I have made several of your dishes and have loved each one…I love the interaction between you and James and always wait for his review on your dishes and must admit I miss him when he is not there…I appreciate his comments and your family as a whole…

Look how much our boy James is growing and maturing! I know there is a daughter too because I saw her once on an earlier video or the website. ❤ I'm making this ASAP. It would be nice to know what sides you pair your dishes with when you cook these recipes. Thanks

Very nice recipe, you went step by step which is really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and it looks delicious 😋 ❤

I love your attention to details. You're very good at breaking specific steps down for "amature" cooks that come here.

This looks delicious! I can't wait to try it. All of your cooking videos are terrific Jim. Your Beef Stroganoff recipe was amazing too. Regards.

Just watching in Ireland. Love this channel and your recipes. The "fond" is hilarious! Really enjoy your videos and your family interactions too. Of course your recipes are delicious and you make thsm so easy to follow

Thanks fo making a mistery dish as such to an easy to follow step by step process. This makes it so easy to create, and this note goes to all of your videos with the signature dishes.

Supreme comfort food. Thanks!!

Love this. You Rock Jim!

Every time I make one of your recipes it becomes the new family favourite.

I just discovered this channel. Love it! Classic recipes.

It's interesting you have branched out from New York Italian 'chef' to French cuisine! Good for you. Most enjoyable to see how the you tube is expanding. James is your best critic. Always an enjoyable class in cooking.

Made this last night. Absolutely amazing.

I love how your chair matches most of your shirts. And your recipes, those are good too.

Looks fantastic! It's on my to-cook list.

Looks so yummy, will try to make it.

Prepared this evening. The most delicious chicken dish I remember having. Best 5$ on a supermarket drum pack ever spent. Great tips on working up fond away from the main event. I added a little jarred duck fat to the bacon to keep those batches moving along. My wife and I have been doing recipes back to back since discovering your channel. Thank you.

Thank you. I agree Tara, he said it three times! God Bless and stay safe.

you are good.....35 years in the kitchen and I still have something to learn...thanks for that..

I love this! I truly want to make this!

Sauce looks amazing.

This looks perfect for this time of year here in the UK. That’s for the great content as always!

Loved your tips on de-fatting with a paper towel and using a wooden spoon to measure your sauce quantity before reducing!!

I always save the fond from browning to put it in the slow cooker if using one. Really makes a difference.

My favorite cooking channel by far! The "taste tester" going for the chocolate is awesome :)

I love to see James’s reaction every time.

chocolate in savory dishes is a killer secret ingredient. I always had a little unsweetened cocoa powder to my chili and my wife loves it!

James, solid work, thx!

I like the music, too. It’s like old times! 😁

I'm making this for sure!

Brilliant. I used your beef bourguignon method on Friday and was delighted with the result.

Can't wait to try this for the weekend!

Jim, you take all the anxiety out of French recipes. I’ll fix this tomorrow! Merci bien, monsieur!

So freaking delicious. Great recipe.

I finally made this and just had to come and tell you that it was amazing!

This is one of the best dishes in the history of food.

I’m fond of this recipe!

Very well made and captivating videos, thank you. Several years ago I was introduced to a solution to the skin or no skin conundrum. Braised skin, including gumbos, are gooey and usually pulled off in the plate. Instead, I fry the skin in the bacon grease, which renders the fat and flavor. Everyone hangs around while I’m making a gumbo to snack on the fried skin. I then use the combination bacon grease and chicken fat to make the roux. I chop vegetables and prep while the skin is frying, so no real extra effort. Thanks again, I enjoy your channel

Yummy 😋 thanks for sharing! ❤️🙏🏽

Adding the chocolate takes this to whole new level!

I made this dish tonight for my family. It was amazing. I did let the chicken rest in the wine overnight in the refrigerator. Everyone was very impressed. Thank you.

Love it.. so practical, such good sense, HOME cooking. Never tried chocolate in this... My personal tricks.. a few skin on cloves of garlic in the braise, squeezed out into the sauce, for warmth and roundness. If you keep a bottle of dry sherry or Chinese cooking wine around the kitchen, seasoning with a teaspoon or two can sometimes shift a recipe like this in a really good direction.

My mom taught me how to cook when I was a teenager. You have taught how to be a better cook and try new things to cook. Thanks for another good video..

Very good love having your lad doing the taste test - takes the chocolate at the end - yep what boys do

Looks so delish!

This looks very delicious

Omg that looks delicious 🤤

I love your videos. I followed the one for beef bourguignon and it turned out -perfect-. I used alcohol free wine (alcohol sensitivity so can't take risks) and it was a big hit for a friend who thought she couldn't enjoy such dishes. Your tips are excellent and you make these kinds of recipes accessible to home cooks! I will try this one. Thank you!

Love your videos - James is growing up so quickly!

just got my first enameled cast iron dutch oven, the same lodge as yours I think. Looks like a great recipe to get cooking in it

The chicken staining with spots reminds me of how salt reacts to alcohol inks on my artwork. The salt creates a resist where it was on the alcohol stained chicken. This looks so delicious!!!
