#COQ AU VIN SLOW COOKER SKIN#

Whatever is on the skin will be destroyed by the heat.

I was there when Julia Child and Jacque Pepin had a public disagreement over whether or not to wash the chicken before using it in their coq au vin recipe.

Take the cooked and fried bacon and put it in the slow cooker.The journey to the enchanted depths of flavor continues.Having bacon bits remain stuck to the bottom of the pan is perfectly acceptable.

Creating feelings of warmth and affection is the goal.Yellow onion should be cooked with the bacon. Lardon the bacon and sauté it with the chopped onion in a big pot or frying pan (not a non-stick one) until the bacon is crisp.Or you could simply chop up an onion and add it to the pan. Don't throw away the green parts use them as garnish instead. White parts of green onions should be chopped.If you don't have a saucepan, you can use a stainless steel pot or a Dutch oven instead. The magic of multilayered flavor can be yours with minimal effort and just one regular skillet or good-sized high-side saucepan.It will still turn out well if you just throw everything into a slow cooker and hope for the best. If you want the easy crock pot coq au vin to really shine with flavor, you will have to put in a little bit of work at the beginning.These guidelines are based on French cooking techniques I've seen demonstrated by American chefs such as Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Alton Brown, Jamie Oliver, the Barefoot Contessa, and others while watching them make Coq au Vin.Chicken with wine is literally translated as 'coq au vin.'.
