Just prior to the French revolution, a nice lady taught me to make coq au vin, which
I tend to refer to as French cock. It is tasty beyond words.

Here's how:

Getcha a bottle of red wine. Cheap is fine, you ain't gonna drink it.

Get a couple of onions and potatoes and a six-pack of chicken thighs.

Wash the chicken and lightly brown it (skin on) in a skillet with butter or oil.
Don't fry it, just give it some color.

Hack up the onions and potatoes, rough cut is good.

Dump the wine into a big pot and make it boil.

When it does, dump all the other stuff in there too.

Cover and simmer. Stir about every 15 minutes. Keep this up for a couple hours.

Haul out the chicken & plants and trash the wine.

Goes well with cold beer or hot French chicks.

Oh my goodness that stuff is tasty.
