Using a whole chicken just isn’t for me, I’m not the type of cook who relishes in a lot of fussy fat-skimming, the breasts tend to cook before the rest of the chook does, so I continually worry about it tasting dry, and all those bones mean the dish takes longer to cook overall, not to mention the stack of fiddly bones are hard to eat around. Chicken thigh cutlets are a very forgiving ingredient, they can simmer for a while without becoming tough, unlike breasts, which you have to keep an eye on. They also have a full chicken flavour, which escapes into the red wine sauce as it simmers.

One of them is to let the chicken marinate in the wine while you’re prepping and cooking the bacon. Season the chicken very lightly, if at all. You want it really dark – especially the white meat. The darker you brown your chicken, the better the white meat will look. So spend the extra time that it takes to get the chicken so brown that it looks nearly ready to eat. Remember not to overcrowd the pan; that will interfere with browning. I had room for about three pieces at a time in my casserole. Once you’ve got all your chicken in the pot, submerged in wine and bouillon, remove the breasts. While you’re waiting for the pot to come to the boil, work a temperature probe into one of the breasts and set the alarm to 165°F. Once you’ve got the pot simmering, give the dark meat about five minutes before you return the breasts to the pot. You can be super-fancy with the vegetables, or not.

Common mistakes in coq au vin include adding the bacon too early, which makes it soggy. The liquid makes the bacon soggy. If you want it crunchy, cook crispy and drop in at the very last minute. Another mistake is using too much bacon grease to cook the vegetables and chicken. You should reduce the amount of bacon grease used to cook the veg and chicken. Cooking the bacon first, rendering the meat until crispy, removing it from the pan, and using the fat to flavor the rest of the dish, helps to avoid these mistakes. Then, once everything else has finished cooking, add in the bacon.

One of the biggest mistakes when making Coq au Vin is that people end up with "purple chicken." You don't want purple chicken. The best way to avoid purple chicken, you ask, get a good coating on your chicken in the first place. And don't go overboard on the wine.
