INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the chicken in the usual way, cutting the bird into several
pieces. Marinate the pieces of chicken in a bowl with the Fleurie. To
flavour the marinade add a carrot, an onion, the bouquet garni with
some extra thyme, garlic and peppercorns. For the marinade to be
effective, the bowl must be kept in a cool place for a minimum of 24
hours.
In a pan heat 1 tbsp of lard. Season the pieces of chicken with salt,
saut. quickly in the hot fat. When the pieces are browned on all
sides, moisten with a little Cognac, ignite, then cover to put out
the flames.
Sprinkle the chicken with the flour. After mixing well, place in an
oven heated to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7 - for a few minutes. Add the
carrots and the onion, saut.ed in butter and the bouquet garni.
Moisten with the wine used for the marinade, bring to the boil and
stir well. Simmer un-covered on a very low flame. Depending upon the
age of the bird, cooking time will be 45 minutes to an hour.
When the chicken is cooked remove all the pieces to another saucepan.
Add them to the glazed onion, lardons and mushrooms. The sauce in the
first pan is thickened with the chickens blood (or pig's blood).
After correcting the seasoning, strain the sauce onto the chicken.
Serve the chicken with triangular croutons, browned in butter.
