Coq au Vin is a traditional French dish where chicken is slow-braised in red wine with mushrooms, onions, carrots, and bacon (lardons). Originating from Burgundy, it was originally made with rooster ("coq"), as the long cooking process tenderized the tough meat. Today, it's commonly prepared with chicken, resulting in a rich, flavorful, and comforting meal.
