Steps

  • Marinade chicken, wine, vegetables, and herbs in the fridge for 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Remove and dry chicken, then strain and reserve the wine and vegetables.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and fry in a casserole until golden-brown.
  • Brown the reserved vegetables in the same pan, add wine, and reduce by half.
  • Return chicken to the pan and add enough stock to almost cover the meat.
  • Cover with a paper cartouche and bake for 35 minutes before resting.
  • Blend curly parsley with 2.5 litres of water in a food processor.
  • Line a colander with muslin cloth and fill with ice over a bowl.
  • Heat parsley water to 80°C, then strain through ice-muslin to collect chlorophyll purée.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are soft.
  • Strain the coq au vin sauce, reduce it by half, and return chicken to it.
  • Rice potatoes, then stir in butter, milk, and the reserved parsley purée.
  • Fry onions, pancetta, and mushrooms in oil, then reduce with stock and butter.
  • Serve chicken and sauce inside a well of parsley mash with the garnish.
