Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 quarter chicken pieces (legs and thighs)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for chicken
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (1 pound) bag frozen pearl onions, thawed
- 8 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
- 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large rounds (thirds)
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 sprig fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 1/2 cups full-bodied red wine
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Directions
Cook the bacon over medium heat in olive oil in a large Dutch oven until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Season the chicken pieces generously with the salt and pepper and brown the pieces in 2 batches in the bacon drippings. Set aside. Pour off about half of the pan drippings then add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and carrots. Add the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the flour, stir to coat the vegetables.
Pour in the wine and chicken broth, stir until you don't see any lumps of flour. Add the chicken, thyme, bay leaves, and half of the bacon to the stew. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cover and braise until the chicken and vegetables are almost tender, about 40 minutes. Uncover and cook until sauce thickens, about 10 more minutes.
Stir in the parsley and vinegar. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with the remaining bacon.

This was alright. We made it to the letter. It wasnt bad but woud not make it again. If you are going to make it add all the bacon at the end. If you follow the recipe you will eat wet bacon afer it was nice and crispy.

My family loved it! It was delicious! Just watch the vinegar in the end. Also, it took alot longer than 1 hr and 15 minutes, but I will be making it again.

I give this 5 stars, and this is without having any mushrooms, or adding bacon. This is an absolutely fantastic dish! The red wine, and onions, along with the other vegetables goes so perfectly together. The only other thing I wish I would have had to serve along with this delicious meal, was a crusty baguette to soak up all that gravy, next time. : I look forward to making this again.
