Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large heavy pot, fry the bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.

  2. 2

    Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Sear them in the bacon fat until golden brown on all sides (about 8 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the pearl onions, carrots, and mushrooms in the same pot until softened and slightly browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and bacon to the pot. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Add the bouquet garni, cover, and reduce the heat to low.

  5. 5

    Braise gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Skim any excess fat from the surface and serve hot.
