Coq au vin
A braise built on a whole bottle, and the wine has to be one worth drinking — it reduces to a quarter of its volume, which concentrates whatever was wrong with it just as faithfully as what was right.

- Render the bacon slowly and lift it out, leaving the fat behind.
- Brown the thighs hard in that fat, skin down, in two batches. Crowded, they poach in their own steam and the color never comes.
- Onions and mushrooms into the pan next, browned separately from each other, then set aside with the bacon. Everything gets its own turn.
- Deglaze with the wine, scraping hard, and boil it down by half before anything goes back in.
- Return it all with the garlic and herbs, cover, and cook at 325F for an hour.
- Skim the fat off the top before serving, and whisk the butter in off the heat. That is what takes the sauce from thin to glossy without any flour.
