This took a fair amount of prep work before getting everything into the crock pot. The end result was something special and worth the extra effort. Moist chicken, incredible flavor, rustic look but something I would serve guests. Thanks for sharing this.

This was a superb dish! I used bonless/skinless chicken. If you go that route don't over work yourself by cutting the chicken into pieces - talk about a pain in the neck! The chicken falls apart beautifully on its own DH can't stand onions, but these pearl onions won his heart, they are definitely the star of the show. Instead of measuring the Burgandy wine, I just poured it over the chicken. Big mistake! I ended up not having enough marinade. Ooops! Don't do this at home kids We served this over brown rice and topped it with some hot sauce (cause we simply can't get enough. Ha!). Will definitely be making this again!

I had made Coq Au Vin before but this was the first time in a crockpot. Do not try to reduce the fat in this dish by omitting the bacon because to me, it just makes the dish. This is easy enough for every day but the taste is wonderful enough to serve to company or on a special occasion.

This dish was approved of by three generations of eaters...that's 5 stars in my book! I followed the easy directions exactly except for one small detail...our power was out because of a bad storm and I used my propane range top to cook the stew on low for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I did dust the chicken thighs with a bit of seasoned flour before browning them, hoping it would thicken the sauce a bit, which it did. The chicken was very tender, and the flavor of the sauce was outstanding. My daughter wants the recipe since finding something that the whole family enjoys, especially picky toddlers is rare. We will be making this dish often!
