I can't remember where I found this recipe. I've been making it for years and it's one of my families most requested. I prepare this in a cooker/fryer. Cook time includes all cooking needed. The meat gets so tender through the final cooking process that the meat literally falls off the bones. Because of that, I prefer to use all boneless chicken thighs and breasts. A rule of thumb to follow for the wine......only use a wine in this recipe that you consider good enough to drink. Ingredients:
4 slices bacon, chop and cook til crispy |
1/2 cup butter |
2 broiler-fryer chickens, cut into quarters |
16 small white pearl onions (peeled and left whole) |
16 large mushrooms, sliced |
2 garlic cloves (minced) |
1 bunch scallion (cleaned and cut up) |
1/4 cup flour |
3 cups dry red table wine |
2 chicken bouillon cubes |
