Recipe Introduction

And as we all know, Coq Au Vin stands for...um... Actually, according to the people at Wikipedia, it stands for "rooster in wine," but I'm going to assume that most people who make it nowadays will use chicken. It's not the quickest recipe in the world to make, but if it was they'd be selling it at the Arby's drive-thru ("yeah, I'll have the Coq Au Vin Mega Meal"). Slash Food
