Maybe I did marinated my last time but not overnight - I have to say it was really yummy! Do you marinate your chicken (for Coq au vin) the same way as Boeuf Bourguignon....i.e., wine, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, peppercorns, etc.?
I was just reading a recipe and it uses brandy in the Boeuf Bourguignon marinade! YUMMMMMYYY is all I have to say - I will make a note of that for the next time!
One thing I forgot tonight was to add some tomato paste - I will do that tomorrow when I re-heat it - oops And I also didn't have any bacon - the French can't really get me because I said I was making something LIKE Boeuf Bourguignon!!!
