Coq Au Vin with Chocolate: The Secret Weapon of Top Chefs

- When it comes to taste, classic coq au vin is a harmonious blend of savoury and earthy notes. The red wine infuses the dish with its robust and fruity undertones, creating a deep and complex flavour profile. This version also adds port wine and chocolate for an amazing sauce that’s out of this world.
The slow-cooked chicken, becomes incredibly tender, soaking up the essence of the red wine and aromatic herbs. The lardons provide a salty, smoky contrast, while the mushrooms and onion add an earthy and slightly sweet dimension. The combination of these elements results in a dish that is both comforting and elegant, offering a taste of French culinary tradition that has stood the test of time.
Coq au vin, which literally means ‘rooster with wine’ in French, started way back when people needed a way to make the tough, older rooster meat taste good. Even though the first coq au vin recipes popped up in the early 1900s, folks have probably been slow-cooking roosters for way longer. The result is a hearty, rustic dish that embodies the essence of French comfort food.
The super famous kind of coq au vin comes from Burgundy, and it’s all about using wine, lardons (that’s fancy for bacon bits), mushrooms, and little onion.
In different places, they use different types of wine, and sometimes, they even toss in some cream, but don’t do it!
Now, why is wine so important? Well, it’s not just about the taste. The acidity in the wine actually helps to make the tough meat nice and tender, and get this - it does it without any extra heat! So, if you ever come across an older, tougher bird at the store, classic coq au vin is a tasty plan. But even with young chickens, it’s still a dish everyone loves, and this version kicks it up a couple notches. Enjoy!

Whiskey is thinking…’thank god’, dad didn’t set the kitchen on fire.🙏🏻😂 loved the way he stepped back, smart boy.💕🐶 Another perfect ,gourmet, recipe.🙏🏻Joel.🇺🇸🇦🇺
Not sure why he's scared of fire, but he keeps coming back regardless 😂
"I'll stay out of the kitchen when Joel's playing with fire and then maybe I'll get a treat at the end." Whiskey is one smart dog. That recipe looks amazing.
Merci Joël. Superbe recette. 😘🐶
😅😅😅😅...smart whiskey
Absolutely Gerry but I figure you'd want yours cooked a little longer! 🤣
😊 that looks soooooo good!
Coq au vin is a french country Style dish, but, Joel makes a fine dining recipe. Fantastic. Great movie, great dish, great Whiskey, get two step back. Thank you so much. Stay healthy.
Whiskey is not a fan of flames, cheers kemal!

Hello Chef, this as always was a great video. I loved the addition of chocolate, very anxious to try this out. You explain your cooking steps well for us home cooks to easily understand. Thank you for sharing. And by the way, your dog Whiskey is so lovable, obedient, well trained and always well groomed. ❤❤
You are so welcome, glad it's helpful. You should see Whiskey today, he came out of a professional groomer!
Мне так нравится вас смотреть. Видео просто волшебные.

Such a beautiful dish, thanks a lot Chef Joel
Have to try this recipe ❤
My pleasure 😊 Enjoy it!
Wow. This is magnificent!!!!
Many years ago, 30 something while on vacation in Disney, I had a chicken dish at Epcot Centre which was made with chocolate. It was the most incredible chicken I've ever had. I am going to be making this for certain. What struck me right away is the chicken does not have that deep purple colour from the wine as most Coq au vin recipes, which throws me off.
The chickens I buy here are quite tender, should I marinade as long?
Whiskey, you are the most beautiful boy.
Yes marinate longer, for both flavour absorption and juiciness. Not more than 48 hours though.
Come ON.....this food is so good I pulled the vid up on tv - full immersion into the recipe, omg. Delicious
That's awesome, I wish everyone watched on the big screen. 📺 👍
Wonderful, thank you❣️
Looks so delicious!!
I feel like this was a 20 minute video. Your videos are just so amazing and I can’t wait to make this over the winter. Thank you again, Joel.
Hope you enjoy it Eric! (In Winter).
Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
A pleasure!

Совершенно с Вами согласна ! Таким способом можно приготовит любое мясо , вкус будет намного насыщенный ! 👍👍
I completely agree with you! This way you can cook any meat, the taste will be much richer!👍👍
Cheers!
Absolutely delicious!❤
Thank you 😋
Is this art ? Yes it is ❤
A ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ recipe!! Thanks!
My pleasure 😊
Nice dish/recipe to watch, but very tough to prepare. Love it anyways ❤😋🙏 Thank-you
It's not that hard really, but it is an occasion meal, great for dinner parties as you can prepare it the day before.
@@recipe30 you're right dear chef, we'll try, thanks
Really good !!! Thank you
Thank you too!
Interesting. I have always used unsweetened chocolate or cocoa in Mexican braises- because, well, duh! It just works. They were combining Chile and chocolate king before Columbus crashed their party and it is an amazing flavor combo. It never occurred to me to throw some into more Euro style braises. I’m sure it’s fabulous as well.
I ❤ Whisky!
I only learnt this half way through my cooking career and I was shocked, Chocolate??!!!
then I tried it..... 😘
맛있겠다! 눈으로 먹으며 냠냠~~
Omg, with chocolate, 😲😲😲😲😲 , I never thought about it & never had coq Au Vin like that, but I have to try it out, & i'll tell you chef, ty
Please do, use it sparingly though.
Mais OUI !!!!!!!!
Add some chiles 🌶️ and is almost like chicken with Mole!
Whiskey I adore you!
Nice job 👨🍳
Sounds great!
@@recipe30😊
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏music super!!!!
Wow 🤩
I'm salivating. That's just right chef...😅😅😅...delicieux
Merci Alex! 👍
My son’s favorite!
Very good 🐶🐕❤ dog. Chef 🍖 chicken 🍗 so nice 👍 recipes.
Thank you so much 😊
My mouth is watering. Great recipe! Wish my 2 Shelties could control themselves like your Whiskey around raw meat. LOL
I trained him since he was a few weeks old. I suppose it worked.
Très appétissant merci
Mon plaisir Nina!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Merci beaucoup chef
Un plaisir MM
Jack Tripper's signature dish!
Wow
Chef I will trust you and make this exactly as the recipe!
Please do!
Very nice and interesting recipe !!! Hi Whiskey 😊❤
He says hi back!
What side dishes, like a starch or veg, will be a good complement?
Hi Joel and whiskey, I always add a piece of chocolate, like in carbonade, beef bourguignon etc.
whiskey chew 🤣
I add chocolate and also take a piece for myself to go with my wine! Whiskey doesn't need teeth unless it's for bones.
❤❤❤
Hello chef, I am a big fan of your channel. I will be thankful to you if you share following recipes
1. Arancini
2. Rib eye steak with mushroom sauce.
3. Rotisserie chicken ( lemon and onion flavoured)
5. Entrecote sauce.
Hope you will be kind enough
If you search my website or channel you should find all of these.
I know I won’t make this because it’s so labor intensive (in other words, I’m too lazy). But I would love to come over and have yours 😅
I'll save you some!
Whiskey was really quick! 😁
Too quick!
The wine drinker in me gasps when you use the wine to cook .....But the end result is amazing
Ha ha, I feel ya! Sadly in France at present they are converting beautiful wine into hospital grade alcohol due to lack of demand. Millions of bottles worth! That hurts me!!
Great as usual !!! what do you think if instead of using chicken lamb is used ? thanx
I would say see my lamb stew recipe 👍
got it .... thanx 😁
Ilove the chocolate with the recipe it's really so good 👍😻😘🦮😍😍😍😍
Thank you 😋
Lovely variation of Mexican Mole. One of my favorites in autumn and winter. I mean... who doesn't love wine and chocolate?
I love Whiskey's face at the end.
Chef: "No coq au vin for you, but... I have this piece of beef"
Whiskey: "Really?!!!" 😂😂😂
If only he would savour the food, then maybe, but he gulps it in one second. 🤣
@@recipe30 yes, but he's been smelling that coq au vin for 2 days! Hahaha!
Chef, it's a beautiful presentation and obviously good. I wonder if there's too much fat with all the butter, bacon, and natural fat from the chicken. I'm not a fan of fat.
When the sauce reduces, you scoop all the fat off the surface. So it's up to you.
👍💯🇹🇷👏😋
I believe that Whiskey enjoys the morsels because clearly time is invested in self-grooming ; )
He needs daily brushing, I wish he was self grooming.
Chicken in chocolate. 😂 I’m afraid an onion will convert it into a beef burger anyway.
Chocolate is a substitute for the traditional chicken blood.
Makes sense!
Is this the chicken version of beef bourgignon??
Very similar!
❤👍🐕🐕🦺
